The trailhead to this 3/4 mile hike is located just outside of Page, Arizona. It overlooks one of the most spectacular views on the Colorado River, 4 miles south of the Glen Canyon Dam, and 7 miles north of mile zero of the Grand Canyon. « less

What looks like a short hike turns out to be a longer hike . Wear full shoes (no flip flops or sandles ) Bring WATER a HAT and camera. This is what separates the common tourists from the real sight seers! Well worth the hike to see as the family with three 5 yr olds will give up getting there

A little harder hike than I would have thought as the trail is sandy and sloped but worth seeing. Really steep drop with no rail so don't get too close if you have vertigo.

I was a bit concerned about this one as much as I wanted to go because of the 1000 ft. dropoff but it wasn't as scary as I expected (but still scary enough, use common sense!) I was expecting flat ground but the rocky ground goes upward around the edge and this made me feel safer for some reason. We... More

One of nature's unique picturesque places. The Colorado river flows down through high canyon walls and it is worth the short hike down to get a few pics. You will not be disappointed.

It is about 0.75 miles (one way), climbing to see this great riverbend. We spent there a lot of time just looking at the views. Simply great. A must-do attraction in Page!

Great view and a great place to take some awesome photos. Easy to find, with plenty of free parking. Fairly easy walk to the vista, even in full sun. As always, take water!

Makes for great pictures at sunset. The short hike is well worth it. Fun to see via the raft trips too.

Easy to find south of Page and easy to hike. But take four things: 1. Water as it is hot, hot, hot and the hike takes a while. 2. Good shoes as the sand is hot, hot, hot. 3. Your camera, even if just an iPhone. You need to take a shot of this wonderful sight. 4. Common Sense as... More

Definitely worth the long hike to see this beautiful view. Make sure you take water with you because the hike is up hill both ways and has deep sand in parts.
