After Antelope Canyon, Candy wondered what we could come up with to top that experience. Well, I don’t know if we topped it but we sure gave it a good try. Not to be one to take the most direct root to ANYTHING, John suggests that we take the Looking Glass Road Trail to the Needles.
Not too far down the road, I see a path that leads to this big rock. Cool, lets check this out before moving on. Well, well, well, this is how the road got it’s name, from Looking Glass Rock.
For sure, you know I want to climb to the top and John, a bit vertigo with heights, follows me up. Candy, posing for a picture, is not sure she wants to make the climb.
Come on up guys! The view is amazing!
Candy makes the climb, for better or worse, she’s not sure this is a good idea. She’s trying to look happy and smile for the picture.
She’s happy to have something to hang on to….with a death grip.
All kidding aside, the view is amazing. I do have to mention, the climbers on the rock did ask us not to be so loud, they couldn’t talk to each other. All right people, let’s take our pictures and get out of here.
Her fear is real, so I stay by Candy as we descend.
We hear laughter from above. Oh, no they are not laughing at us. Yes, yes they are. Stinkers.
Andy wants to walk around the whole rock to see if he can see the climbers.
Yeah, my newly recovered post-pneumonia lungs have had enough exertion so I’m heading back to the Jeep.
It is amazing how big the “rocks” are. There is no way to verbalize the scope and size.
The other side of Looking Glass Rock is underwhelming.
But look the other way and wow.
Gin anyone?
Okay, enough fooling around. John’s “shortcuts” are never short. We need to get moving. Needles, here we come.
