Lake Powell’s calm coves are perfect for swimming and kayaking, while boat tours make exploring fun for all ages. Local parks and open spaces give kids room to run after a day of sightseeing.

Notable Features
Page sits at the heart of canyon country: Lake Powell and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the photogenic slot canyons of Antelope Canyon, the dramatic overlook at Horseshoe Bend, and access to the Colorado River for smooth-water rafting. Boat routes to Rainbow Bridge National Monument and scenic drives toward the Vermilion Cliffs make Page a one-of-a-kind base.
Town Highlights
A compact desert town with outfitters, marinas (Wahweap and Antelope Point), and Navajo-guided experiences. Sunsets glow over red rock buttes, cafés open early for tour departures, and camera shops, guides, and rental counters keep adventure logistics easy.
Weather / Climate Overview
High-desert climate at ~4,300 ft. Summers are hot (expect intense sun and very dry air), winters are cool with occasional light snow, and spring can be breezy. From late July–September, brief monsoon storms can bring lightning and sudden downpours—especially important for slot canyon safety. Day/night temperature swings are common year-round.
Crowd Levels / Peak Times
Busiest late spring through fall, with midsummer crowds at Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend (midday tours often sell out). Sunrise and sunset are the most popular times at Horseshoe Bend. December–February is the quiet season. Note: North Rim access is seasonal (typically mid-May to mid-October).
Accessibility Notes
Horseshoe Bend: Paved path to an accessible viewpoint from the city-run parking area; the full overlook area includes uneven surfaces.
Antelope Canyon: Most slot canyon tours involve stairs, ladders, and uneven footing (generally not wheelchair accessible). Consider boat tours to Antelope Canyon on Lake Powell as an alternative.
Lake Powell & Marinas: Visitor facilities and many boat tours offer accessible boarding options; confirm when booking.
Glen Canyon Dam Overlook/Visitor Areas: Paved paths and accessible facilities; some overlooks include short, uneven approaches.
Shuttle / Transport Info
Page is car-based; there’s no city shuttle into the parklands. Many tour operators offer hotel pickup for slot canyons, rafting, and lake trips. Horseshoe Bend uses paid city parking at the trailhead. Marinas have their own lots. Rental cars are the most flexible way to reach North Rim, Monument Valley, or Bryce. EV drivers will find chargers in town and at select hotels—check availability ahead of time.
What to Bring
- Water & electrolytes (carry more than you think you’ll need)
- Sun protection: UPF layers, wide-brim hat, sunglasses, SPF
- Sturdy footwear; water shoes/strap sandals for lake/raft days
- Daypack & dry bag for boats; camera gear + lens cloth (sand/dust)
- Layers for cool mornings/evenings; headlamp for early/late outings
- Reservations/permits: Antelope Canyon tours, lake rentals; special permits (e.g., The Wave) are lottery-based
Safety Tips
- Flash floods: Never enter slot canyons with storms in the forecast (even far upstream).
- Heat: Start early, take breaks in shade, and hydrate continuously.
- Edges: Sheer drop-offs at overlooks—watch footing and wind gusts; supervise kids closely.
- Water: Wear life jackets on boats and rafts; secure gear against gusty winds.
- Respect closures & cultural sites on Navajo Nation and within Glen Canyon.
- Navigation: Service drops outside town—download offline maps.
Cell Service / WiFi
Reliable in town; spotty to none in slot canyons, along the river, and on parts of Lake Powell. Many hotels and marinas offer Wi-Fi. Download confirmations and maps before you go.
Sustainable Travel Tips
Refill bottles at lodging/marinas; pack out all trash. Stay on durable surfaces in desert terrain. Choose small-group, locally guided tours (especially Navajo-led). Use designated parking at Horseshoe Bend and marinas. Visit popular spots early/late to reduce crowding and heat impact.

Park Gateway Towns
The Grand Canyon is surrounded by towns and cities that each offer their own character, comforts, and connections to the park. Whether you want to stay steps from the entrance or combine your trip with other Southwest adventures, these gateways provide the perfect starting points.
Tusayan, AZ
Just outside the South Rim entrance, Tusayan is the easiest base for park explorers. Hotels, restaurants, and even a seasonal shuttle make it simple to stay close to the action. After a day on the rim, you can grab a hearty steak dinner or catch a Grand Canyon IMAX film before resting up for tomorrow’s adventure.
Williams, AZ
Known as the “Gateway to the Grand Canyon,” Williams sits on historic Route 66. Its biggest draw is the Grand Canyon Railway — a vintage train that whistles its way through forests and high desert straight to the South Rim. Staying here means you can mix small-town charm, classic diners, and a touch of nostalgia with your canyon trip.
Flagstaff, AZ
A little farther away but worth the drive, Flagstaff offers a lively downtown with craft breweries, mountain views, and a college-town vibe. It’s big enough for museums and cultural stops but still close enough to the canyon for day trips. Many travelers use Flagstaff as their hub to explore both the Grand Canyon and the wider wonders of northern Arizona.
Sedona, AZ
Two hours south of the canyon, Sedona’s red rock formations and vibrant art scene create a striking contrast to the Grand Canyon. Many visitors spend time here before or after their canyon adventure, hiking among sandstone cliffs by day and browsing galleries or stargazing by night.
Las Vegas, NV
Beyond its glittering lights, Las Vegas is a major launch point for Grand Canyon tours. Helicopter flights from the Strip soar over Hoover Dam and the Colorado River before touching down at the West Rim, while bus and plane tours offer easy day trips for travelers looking to add the canyon to their Vegas getaway.
Phoenix, AZ
Arizona’s capital city is the main gateway for air travelers, with Sky Harbor International Airport just 3.5 hours from the South Rim. Many visitors begin their Grand Canyon journey here, enjoying desert gardens, world-class dining, and cultural attractions before heading north to the rim.
