All you need is either acrylic paints or a sharpie, a paintbrush and a smooth rounded stone or pebble. 

That is how you make a kindness rock or story stone. Then you place the stone in gardens, along a trail, or in a flowerpot to uplift someone’s day!

Entrance: The tour operators transport visitors from Page, Ariz. to the entrance area of Antelope Canyon. We toured the Upper canyon.
