Ultimate Guide to Stand Up Paddle Board through Antelope Canyon
Most people know that you can visit Antelope Canyon via the Upper or Lower tours, but did you know that Antelope Canyon is accessible from Lake Powell?? I actually didn’t know about it until I had already been in Page for a whole day! What was even more surprising is that many sites count Lake Powell’s Antelope Canyon as one of the top places to stand up paddle board in the world! Well of course when we found that out we knew we had to make some time in our schedule to experience it!! Now before we go any further, I’m going to stop and apologize right now for the quality of the pictures in this post!! I was…

Upper vs. Lower Antelope Canyon – Which to Choose?
Antelope Canyon has become kind’ve a big deal as far as travel goals go! Even if you’ve never heard of it, I’m positive that you’ve seen pictures of it someplace or another! It’s located a couple of hours away from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, which makes it easy to incorporate into your Grand Canyon trip itinerary! I didn’t realize before I started my travel research that there are actually three ways to experience Antelope Canyon. There’s the Upper Antelope Canyon, the Lower Antelope Canyon, and then there’s the Antelope Canyon in Lake Powell that can be kayaked, canoed, etc. (Post coming soon regarding the Lake Powell edition of Antelope…

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!!

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…
