Page, AZ, a great destination for a family road trip.

I had the privilege this week to go visit Page, AZ and all I can say it’s WOW WOW WOW!

What a  beautiful place!

Went by myself and while there I met a few families that were doing tourism in the area and thought what a great place to bring your children. I am not a tourist guide, obviously, but want to share with you the visits I did while there.

Page is four hours drive from Phoenix, very easy and pretty drive too. It’s all about nature and being outside. It's a very small town with lots of visitors all year long. There are many resorts where to stay. No fancy hotels but confortable, clean ones. 

 

Antelope Canyon

My first stop was at the  Lower Antelope Canyon. This place leaves you speechless. Just stunning! You need a tour guide to go through the canyons, did it with Dixie's and it was a great experience.

Lower Antelope Canyon

For families, different travel bloggers recommended the Upper Antelope Canyon, which right across from the Lower one. The Upper it’s easier to go through and doesn’t have steep stairs like the Lower one does.

Horseshoe Bend

Second stop was the famous Horseshoe Bend, only 8 min away from Antelope canyon.

Another magical place. There is a short 1/2 mile trail that leads to the main view area. While visiting this place, if you have small children make sure you hold their hand the whole time. There not fencing around the view, which makes it nice but dangerous if you are not cautious. 

Glenn Canyon Dam and Lake Powell

Last but not least I visited Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. Cool place to see. When drive pass the Glenn Dam you can visit the marina and what they call "the beach" where people can get in the water during summer time.

Overall Page, AZ was a very nice place to visit and beautiful to the eyes and mind.
