The Ultimate Guide for Visiting Lower Antelope Canyon
So I’m gonna come clean with y’all…I thought about not seeing Lower Antelope Canyon during my visit to Page, AZ. When I was creating my Grand Canyon itinerary, I decided to add a stop at Page on a whim. I figured I’d see Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend then head on my way to the North Rim. Oh, how naive I was…I didn’t know back then about Lake Powell’s activities, and I didn’t know that there were three different parts to Antelope Canyon! As I began researching more, my trip to Page went from one night to two nights, my schedule for those two days became jam-packed (and dare I say, expensive??), and I…

Top 7 Tips for Planning a Lake Powell Boat Tour: Wahweap Marina
When I included Page, AZ into my Grand Canyon trip itinerary, I didn’t expect it to be a highlight of the trip…but it definitely was! My main priorities for visiting were to see Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon, but I was really surprised by the number of tourist activities there were in this small town. We could easily have spent several days here, but we crammed what we could into the two and ha alf days we stayed. One of the really impressive parts about Page and the surrounding area is Lake Powell. Lake Powell is a man-made reservoir that sits in both Utah and Arizona. Lake Powell is not what you think of…

Everything You Need to Know to Visit Rainbow Bridge National Monument
Lots of people don’t know that one of the largest natural bridges in the world is located near Page, AZ!! It spans 275 feet and has a height of 290 feet!! Even though there are taller natural bridges/arches in the world, it’s in the top ten and is one of the most accessible…comparatively speaking! My family and I took a boat tour of Lake Powell that included an excursion to Rainbow Bridge. The tour was long but seeing this natural wonder sure was worth it! (For tips on visiting Page, check out my other posts!!) Ways to access Rainbow Bridge National Monument: This National Monument is technically located in Utah, but since…

While you might not recognize the name, you would undoubtedly recognize pictures of some of the famous attractions that Page is home to!

Top 9 Things to Do in Page, Arizona
Most people haven’t heard of Page, Arizona, but if you talk to the locals they’ll tell you that tourism has been exploding in recent years. Page is home to some really famous attractions, like Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, but believe me when I say there’s a lot more to see than you would think! My family and I took a 9 day trip to the Grand Canyon National Park, and we were busier during our two days in Page than we were at the North and South Rim! Of course, busier does equal more expensive, so make sure and save up so you don’t miss out on anything Page has to…

Everything You Need to Know to Visit Arizona’s Horseshoe Bend
Horseshoe Bend is one of those “must-see” attractions when you’re traveling to the Grand Canyon National Park – it’s arguably one of the most dramatic views of the Colorado River! Horseshoe Bend is not technically near what most people think of when they envision the Grand Canyon (i.e., the South Rim), but if you follow my Perfect Grand Canyon Itinerary (post coming soon!) it’s a very doable addition to your trip! (For ideas on what all there is to do around Page, check out my other posts!!) Horseshoe Bend is located roughly 4-5 miles from Page, AZ which makes it easy to catch at sunrise, sunset, midday…pretty much anytime you want!! We…

Fall Colors in Arizona’s Snowbowl: Aspen Nature Loop Trail
I remember 7 years ago when my husband and I were discussing the time of year we wanted to get married. My husband thought October would be the perfect month to celebrate anniversaries: crisp, cool weather, the beginning of the holiday season, and most importantly, fall colors. It turns out that his predictions were spot on! Every anniversary trip I’ve taken so far has landed in perfect, cool weather, towns decorated for fall & Halloween, as well as changing leaves! For our 5th we decided to go to Flagstaff AZ, which happened to be the most amazing fall colors I’ve seen yet! Flagstaff AZ lies at the foot of the San…

Arizona’s “Route 66” Roadside Attraction: Standin’ On the Corner
There are few things in life better than a road trip to a place you’ve never been before – driving on the highway with the windows rolled down, the music turned up, and singing a song at the top of your lungs! Of course, as I drove through Winslow AZ today, I thought it was only fitting that the song I’d be singing would be “Take it Easy”, by the Eagles! (And for those of you wondering, yes, I am cheesy enough to actually play “Take it Easy” while driving around Winslow…it was definitely a highlight of my trip!!) We were on our way to Flagstaff (a place that I also suggest…
