8. See The Sunset Over The Desert
Some travelers prefer seeing the sunset over the desert at Stud Horse Point. It comes complete with an assortment of individually impressive hoodoos and can be reached off of Highway 89 close to Lone Rock at Lake Powell. Speaking of Lake Powell, the Wahweap Overlook over Lake Powell is another nice spot. Mind you, there are no signs reading “Wahweap View.”
You need to hear about it from hip sources. To help you locate it, it is less than three miles from the Carl Hayden Visitor Center located on Highway 89. Horseshoe Bend is another popular place to watch the sunset, too. Still, veteran visitors can confirm that the fact is that no matter where you are, the local desert puts on quite a show.
9. Hike In Waterholes Canyon
If you’re having a hard time getting in to explore Antelope Canyon, or just really have a big thing for slot canyons, then you really need to visit Waterholes Canyon! This is a technical slot canyon found south of Page. The upper section of Waterholes Canyon is located above Glen Canyon’s rim on the Navajo Reservation and thus a guide is required.
The lower portions empty into the canyon to the river, which is part of the gorgeous Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Within a distance of four miles, Waterholes Canyon drops 1,500 feet. It is similar to Antelope Canyon, just eight miles away, but it draws a lot fewer visitors, which means there’s less of a wait time for the tour, and it is less crowded.
