2. Visit Horseshoe Bend
Also called the “east rim of the Grand Canyon”, this horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the mighty Colorado River is less than four miles out of Page and five miles downstream from Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam in the gorgeous Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. You can reach it via a one-and-a-half-mile round trip hiking trail from the parking area right off US Route 89 in southwestern Page.
Prior to 2015, it was comparatively ignored. Today there is a large parking lot, the trail is managed, and there is even an official viewing platform there because the place has become so popular. As this goes to press, it will cost you at least $10.00 to park your vehicle there.
3. Dive Into Lovely Lake Powell
Lake Powell straddles the state borders of Utah and Arizona. It is actually an artificial reservoir created accidentally when the Colorado river water rose because the old Glen Canyon was dammed. When it is full, it is the country’s second-largest artificial reservoir by maximum water capacity.
It holds as much as 25,166,000 acre-feet of water. Roughly two million people vacation here every year. There’s much to do here too including boating, flyboarding, jet-skiing, kayaking, rafting, swimming, and more. Regardless of all the water sports available there, the water continues to appear pristine and untouched.
