The hike to Pedestal Alley is perfect for hikers of all skill levels wishing to experience some desert scenery. The 3 mile round trip hike crosses washes, along with sandy terrain and rocks. Pedestal Alley is in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

Although this is a relatively short hike, the desert conditions are harsh. Make sure you are properly prepared, hydrated, and protected from the sun before starting out.

Directions: From the Bullfrog Visitor Center, take Highway 276 north approximately 4.4 miles (7 km) to the marked junction with the Burr Trail. Turn left onto the Burr Trail and go about 4.8 miles (7.7 km) to the Pedestal Alley parking area. The trailhead is across the road from the parking area.

Hiking the Ropes Trail in Page Arizona

Hike the Page Mesa Trail

The best way to loop is counter-clockwise, to avoid unnecessary uphill distance. The trail features wonderful wildflowers in the spring, and is open year round. The Page Mesa Trail typically takes between 1 and 3 hours to hike. The trail is also a fabulous location for mountain biking and is dog friendly! Maps are available at the Page Chamber of Commerce.

Kayak Camp on Lake Powell

Kayak camping right on the beaches of Lake Powell and then paddling out into the stillness of the morning to hike antelope canyon is one of my all time favorite memories. Just across from the Antelope Point Launch Ramp is a fantastic beach with several flat areas that are perfect for tent camping. We rented our kayaks (info below) and while one paddled across the lake to the launch to load ou...

Kayak Antelope Canyon

Antelope Canyon is perhaps the most well-known and most photographed slot canyon in the United States. But many people probably don’t realize that you can also kayak a portion of the canyon. Just five miles north of Lower Antelope Canyon on BIA Highway N22B is access to Lake Powell. From here, you can kayak the 2.5 miles from Antelope Point through Antelope Canyon. The water in the canyon e...

Paddle Antelope Canyon

Approximately 2.5 miles from the Antelope Point Marina docks to the end of the submerged portion of Antelope Canyon with the option of hiking further up the canyon once the water runs dry. I did not make it all the way to the end of the canyon, but the adventure was still absolutely worth it! There is plenty of parking in the marina parking lot. Entrance requires paid access to Glen Canyon Nati...
