Always wanted to go back and explore that area more. With the information I got on the tread it looks like the toadstool is a hike that we can do along with antelope canyon and maybe a partial hike to the first wave(see agesilaus video) if we can get a permit. Those were informative videos. Thanks again for all the suggestions.
If you make it to Lee's Ferry, be sure to check out Lonely Dell ranch which was the name one of John Lee's wives gave to the settlement. The orchards, buildings, cemetery and general history are interesting. Condors can often be seen perched on the girders beneath Navajo Bridge in late afternoon. The nearby Cliff Dwellers grill has ice cold beer and great shrimp tacos. We enjoyed the all day boat trip and short hike to Rainbow Arch. Combine that with a tour of the dam.

Yes, the Toadstools hike is relatively easy. There are also videos of it on youtube. Here is one:

I don't know about Wave and Paria info because I'm not a major hiker.
But I can recommend the Toadstools hike. You'll find the small trailhead parking area on the north side of Hwy 89 between Page and Kanab.

I think I would like to spend at least a couple of weeks in the SW to see that whole area. I am driving a new truck to a friend that she bought the in Ct and will fly back home. Figured as long as I was driving the truck all that way I might as well see something while I am there.
Hi Gary!
Couldn't convince the Boss for new MH?
How much you going to be spending in the southwest?
I am sure you are going to the North Rim of Grand Canyon.
What about Zion and Bryce?
North of Page is a small museum about the dinosur in area. When we stopped, we meant the geologist that found the feathered dinosaur. He volunteers at museum. It is worth the 30-45 minutes.
