Description
The Stud Horse Experience is Lake Powell Scenic Tours’ best-value private adventure—an intimate off-road journey through the surreal landscape just outside Page, Arizona. Your local guide picks you up directly from your hotel or rental before setting out across the open desert in an air-conditioned, enclosed off-road vehicle. The route follows mild washboard roads and rocky terrain toward Stud Horse Mesa, a region known for its extraordinary rock formations and sweeping views. Along the way, you’ll learn about the area’s geologic and cultural history, including the creation of Glen Canyon Dam and the stories behind the land’s iconic features. The highlight is exploring the hoodoos—towering stone pillars that seem to defy gravity—and walking among sandstone caves that look straight out of a sci-fi movie set. With Lake Powell shimmering in the distance and Navajo Mountain framing the horizon, the scenery feels almost otherworldly. This 2.5-hour tour is ideal for families, photographers, and travelers short on time who still want a true Page adventure. Snacks and water are included, and custom sunrise or sunset departures are available upon request.
