Lake Powell boasts a unique recreational experience that is more appreciate over a few days rather than several hours. Try to rent a boat or take a tour in order to explore Lake Powell in more depth. A fantastic holiday destination for families! More

Not sure what exactly area this refers to, but as you're driving from Page to the Glen Canyon Dam, just before you arrive at the Dam, on your right you'll see a sign for a "hiking" trail. There's a dirt road there, take it, and you'll end up in a big parking lot that leads to an amazing area with... More

The drive from Page to Lees Ferry is less than an hour. Along the way, the views are wonderful. Once you reach Navajo Bridge, stop for dramatic views Marble Canyon and the Colorado River about 450 feet below. If you time it right, you may see California Condors near or on the bridge. Visit the interpretive center at the end... More
