Cathedral Wash Trail

06/30/22

Very pretty hike through a rugged canyon. It does require navigating some drops and choosing the best path for your abilities. Keep an eye out for cairns and be prepared for some scrambling. Bring plenty of water, wear sunscreen or a sun cover, and maybe take a bathing suit if you’re brave enough to swim in the cool, clear Colorado (the water is cold because it’s coming from the bottom of the Glen Canyon Dam).

Hike through Upper Waterholes Canyon

Waterholes Canyon is a gorgeous slot canyon located just south of Page, Arizona that empties into Glen Canyon. The Upper Part of the Canyon is an easy, largely non-technical section that is easily accessed from Highway 89 and a clear parking turnoff on the left side of the road if you're heading South, just past Horseshoe Bend and just before the bridge over the canyon. The Upper Canyon is on N...

Explore the Horseshoe Bend Crack

Horseshoe Bend is an iconic viewpoint, and a must-see for photographers. Check out Tiffany Nguyen's post, Hike to Horseshoe Bend, for more details on that part of the adventure. Because of its popularity and easy access, the Horseshoe Bend viewpoint is thoroughly photographed and can be very crowded. If you're looking for unique shots of the canyon and want to get away from the tourists there...

Horseshoe Bend

Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona is classic bucket list material and for good reason. Even if they don’t know what it’s called or where it is, everyone has seen this famous spot somewhere. Rest assured; pictures cannot convey the massive scale of this place. From your vantage point 1,000 feet above the Colorado River, the deep blue of the water starkly contrasts with the carved sandstone walls m...
