Founded in 1957 as a construction camp for Glen Canyon Dam, Page Arizona has grown to become a full service vacation resort.  The main attraction for visitors to Page is 186-mile long Lake Powell, which offers 2000 miles of rugged shoreline with swimming, houseboat rentals, fishing, water skiing, sailing, and scuba diving.  

The surrounding desert also offers some of the most spectacular scenery to be found anywhere on the Colorado Plateau, and is a major draw for both adventurers, hikers and nature photographers.  We've put together a list of the Page area's best hiking trails for your convenience.

Antelope Canyon, pictured here, is famous for its sandstone formations.  This section, known as "The Crack," can only be visited with a Navajo guide.  Another section of the canyon allows hikers to take a self-guided tour.  The Paria Wilderness, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument are also nearby, and offer some of the best back-country experiences on the Colorado Plateau. 

The Colorado River at Lee's Ferry offers world-class fly fishing, with the average trout measuring 22 inches!  Be sure to visit our Page Area Photo Gallery for a quick view of what can expect to see when you include this beautiful area in you Southwest vacation plans.

Visit Lake Powell and no matter which activity you choose, you're sure to enjoy Page, Arizona -- a full service town with affordable hotels, restaurants, boat and jet ski rentals, grocery stores, auto repair, and guided tours.  Nature photography tip:  you'll need either a tripod or very fast film for taking photos in Antelope Canyon.
