Best things to do in Page Arizona
Find out more about those top places in Page Arizona
The Arizonan town of Page is little more than a collection of motels, strip malls and one-story houses located in the heart of the middle of nowhere. However, visitors do not flock to Page for its cultural attractions or buzzing nightlife. Rather, this small town is the gateway to one of America’s most spectacular natural wonders: the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The main draw to Glen Canyon is undoubtedly Lake Powell, which was created with the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam in 1963. This man-made lake has filled the formerly bone-dry sandstone canyons creating a startling lunar landscape of plunging rock formations, emerald blue waters and a completely undeveloped coastline with a circumference of nearly 2000 miles (3,218.69 km). In nearby Page organized tours take groups into the unspoiled interior to see the world-famous Antelope Canyon while speedboats, kayaks and paddle boards can be rented.
