All the great pleasures of life are silent.
Page, Arizona
However long your trip to Page is planned for, go ahead and double it – there’s that much to do.
The people in Page should have packed up decades ago and it’s jaw-droppingly easy to see why they set down roots: the spectacular red buttes and mesas set against cobalt skies, capped by miles of blue shoreline on Lake Powell. For views, it’s hard to beat houseboat digs at Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas or Antelope Point Marina. Visit either as a starting point to cruise the clear blue-green waters on a panoramic boat tour, or rent wakeboards, water skis, paddleboards, or kayaks. A rafting excursion gives you another vantage point from which to view the canyon.

WHY YOU NEED TO SEE IT
Antelope Canyon: This is one of the obvious reasons. You have to book a guided tour with the Navajo nation. No exceptions. A little more pricey to take the prime time sunbeam tour, but I assure you, it is well worth your money.
Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument: About 20 minute drive from Page, is the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Stretching out from the Colorado River in Arizona to Bryce Canyon National Park in Southern Utah, this magnificent creation of God is actually the world center for dinosaur finds.
Horseshoe bend: The best thing about Horseshoe bend is, there are no entrance fees, no gates, no railings. You can get as close as you want to the edges and take crazy photos holding on to the edges.
