Page, Arizona at a glance
Page is a small town on the edge of Lake Powell, right next to Glen Canyon Dam. The big sights lie in different directions. Horseshoe Bend is south of town, Wahweap and the lake are north, Antelope Point is east, and Lees Ferry is a longer drive to the west and south. Plan by direction, not by distance in your head.
Most visitors build a stay around Antelope Canyon tours, one lake activity and a stop at the overlook. The facts below help you place those pieces.

The main sights, in the order most visitors tackle them.
Horseshoe Bend overlook
A walk of about 1.5 miles round trip (2.4 km) on a paved path leads to the rim above the river loop. City parking costs $10 per car in 2026. The path has two shade shelters and no shade at the viewpoint, and there is no drinking water. Overlook guide →
Antelope Canyon
Upper, Lower and Canyon X are visited with a Navajo guide only. The park permit is $15 per person and the guide fee is extra. Canyon tours →
Lake Powell
Boat tours, kayaking and swimming spots such as Wahweap and Lone Rock. There are no lifeguards, and low water has closed many ramps. Lake Powell guide →
Glen Canyon Dam
The Carl Hayden Visitor Center stands at the dam on US 89. Guided tours inside the dam are suspended, but the center and the views are open on their seasonal hours. Dam guide →

Visitor centers and the museum
The Powell Museum building at 6 North Lake Powell Boulevard has closed and is being sold, so do not plan a visit there. For information in town, the Glen Canyon Visitor Center at 12 N Lake Powell Blvd is open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Arizona time) and closed on Sunday. The Carl Hayden Visitor Center at the dam keeps seasonal hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from March to the end of October and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. from November to the end of February.
Plan your meals before you set out. The overlook path has no drinking water, and the viewpoint has no shade.
Heat, edges and flash floods
Summer is very hot with little shade, and winter nights can freeze. Spring brings wind. Summer and fall storms can cause flash floods even in a dry climate, so slot canyons close when weather requires it. Carry plenty of water, avoid the hottest hours and keep children and leashed pets close at the overlook, where large stretches of the rim have no railing.
Drones may not take off, land or fly from land or water within Glen Canyon and Rainbow Bridge without a written exception from the park. Read the weather guide for seasons.
