4. Take A Boat Tour To Rainbow Bridge National Monument
Although its exact height has been disputed, the Rainbow Bridge remains indisputably one of the world’s highest natural bridges. At the top, it is 33 feet in width. It holds cultural significance to a number of the local Native American tribes.
The National Park Service designated it an official Traditional Cultural Property. You can actually check off a couple of attractions on your Page bucket list by taking a boat tour to the Rainbow Bridge National Monument. On this multi-hour cruise, you will see the striking Rainbow Bridge and Lake Powell among other sights.
5. Hike To The Popular Hanging Gardens
The popular Hanging Gardens are nestled in the gorgeous Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The area is reported to be very fragile, and visitors must take care and tread carefully both figuratively and literally. Indeed, mere foot traffic from both humans and animals can erode the soil here.
The park service created an easy, one-mile interpretive hiking trail that leads to this well-known, lush little riparian oasis. It is quite unusual considering its arid surroundings. This natural collection of green ferns hanging from the rugged rock wall right in front of you is a welcome break from the Martian-like desert landscape typical of that area. It’s also a great, free, fun option for folks who want to get out of their vehicle and stretch their legs but aren’t ready for a real hike.
