Chapter 438: A Baffling Siege

There was only one viewing spot in Horseshoe Bend, but based on the degree of astonishment, it was unparalleled in the world!

As it was close to the Utah Plateau, there was a large quantity of iron and manganese elements in the surrounding soil. Hence, the soil here shined beautifully in shades of gold and red in the blazing sun.

Looking down from the viewing spot, the cut-out of the Colorado River was green, like a jade band. As such, the red land and the green river complemented each other. In terms of the color contrast, it was very pleasing to the eye.

In addition, this Bend was very curved, and had a beautiful shape. Filled with vigor, it was also very full and deep. As Li Du looked down from the viewing point, he could not help being filled up with pride.

He turned around and looked at Big Quinn, who was standing some distance away. He waved him over and said, ”Come, come over here, the air is crisp.”

Big Quinn laughed bitterly and shook his head. ”No, I'm not going over. I've seen it many times. I don't want to see it again.”

”Do you have a fear of heights, and don't dare go over for a look?” Olly laughed out loud.

Big Quinn said in jest, ”Nope. Alright, a little. D*mmit, I can't tell you about this—well, maybe I do have a fear of heights.”

Seeing his embarrassed face, Li Du could not help laughing.

The tourists nearby kept their distance fearfully. To the tourists, Big Quinn's mannerisms at that moment looked extremely aggressive; they were afraid of being kicked should they get too close to him.

Departing Horseshoe Bend, the next stop was Antelope Canyon.

Antelope Canyon was one of the world's most popular slot Canyons. It was also a popular place for photography. The terrain was divided into two separate parts, the Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon.

As they were driving a car, they could not enter the Canyon, because the entrance of the Canyon was only the width of a man.

In the car, Hans asked, ”Do you want to go down and take a look?”

Li Du looked at the sky and said, ”Forget it, we still have to go to Lake Powell, and the Hopi Village. We'll not have sufficient time if we continue to stay here.”

Big Quinn said, ”Boss, I suggest that you go down for a look. It's stunning here, really stunning.”

Hans echoed him, ”Yes, go down for a look, especially since it's almost noon. The lights in the Canyon are like a kaleidoscope, but only for a short time around noon when light shines through a few gaps into the bottom of the valley.”

Li Du had heard of Antelope Canyon. When he'd gone to that disreputable school, the student groups had formed their own tours, and one of them went to visit Antelope Canyon.

This Canyon was the most beautiful canyon in all of North America, famously deep and serene. The distance was not great but as it reached deep underground, it looked more mysterious.

Like the soil at the Horseshoe Bend, the soil at Antelope Canyon was also red. It was not due to the element manganese, but was due to the naturally red sandstone.

Because the flash floods frequently flushed the rocks in the valley they had a dreamy texture. It was also referred to as an underground paradise, except that this paradise was not God's, site but the site of the Native Americans.

Entering Antelope Canyon, they needed to hire a Native American tour guide. This was mandatory, and was a regulation set by the State Tourism Board.
