Top 15 things to do in ...
The desert town of Page may be small in size, but it serves as a gateway to some of the West’s grandest scenery. Located near Arizona’s border with Utah, Page overlooks Lake Powell—the country’s second-largest manmade lake—and the Glen Canyon Dam, which created it. Boating on the lake, fly-fishing, and tubing are popular things to do, as is venturing to the nearby Antelope Canyon, discovering ancient landmarks and traditions in the Navajo Nation, tracing the Colorado River’s journey at Horseshoe Bend, and day-tripping to the Grand Canyon.
The best times to visit Page are in the spring and fall. In general, summers are hot in Arizona, and popular attractions can be crowded due to summer breaks from schools. Both spring and fall offer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds; however, fall is particularly pleasant in September and October. November and wintertime can be pretty chilly, so it’s best to skip these times when booking a trip to Page.
Page isn’t a town where you can rely on public transit. Because the small town (with a population of only around 7,000) is a more remote location, you must rely heavily on having a car, using a rideshare service, or taking tours that offer round-trip transportation. Most tours to both Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend offer transportation for an easy day trip.
Page might be a small town, but there’s one big thing you won’t want to miss while visiting. The Rainbow Room at Lake Powell Resort provides meals, stunning views of Wahweap Bay, and the air-conditioned comfort of the indoors. Although the restaurant offers a breakfast buffet, you’ll want to make reservations for dinner, as the menu offers everything from prime rib and fried chicken to cioppino and lobster tostada.
