Dazzling desert landscapes

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.

Top 4 attractions in Page

Antelope Canyon

star-524,661
Situated on Navajo land in the Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park, Arizona, Antelope Canyon is one of the most photographed slot canyons in the United States. This natural wonder was formed by water rushing through rock over the course of millions of years. It’s made up of two separate sections: the deep (but narrow) Upper Antelope Canyon (also known as Spiral Rock Arches) and the Lower Antelope Canyon (Hasdeztwazi).More

Lake Powell

Lake Powell is a reservoir—the second-largest man-made reservoir in the United States, actually—in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area on the border of Arizona and Utah. Known for its many sandy beaches, sparkling blue water, and red-rock landscapes, this fun vacation spot is one of Arizona’s top attractions. Some of the lake’s famous features include the Glen Canyon Dam (located in Arizona) and the Rainbow Bridge National Monument, one of the world’s longest natural bridges (located in Utah).More

Glen Canyon Dam

star-5358
In 1964, the Colorado River’s roaring waters needed to be harnessed, so the towering 710-foot-tall (216 meter) Glen Canyon Dam was built. The resulting 186-mile-long (299 kilometer) Lake Powell, the second largest man-made lake in the US, took 17 years to fill to capacity. Today, the dam provides hydroelectric power to the American West.More

Horseshoe Bend

Find some of the most inspiring scenic views in the American Southwest at Horseshoe Bend. The site’s scenic overlook sits on a clifftop 1,000 feet (300 meters) above the Colorado River, offering a bird’s-eye vista of the horseshoe-shaped curve in the sandstone canyon below created by the rushing river over five million years.More

All about Page

When to visit

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.

Getting around

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.

Traveler tips

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.
