Your Itinerary

Bitter Springs

Bitter Springs is really just the tour’s starting point located on Highway 89, around a half hour from the City of Page. From Bitter Springs, stay on 89 at the fork in the road to head to the first stop, Antelope Pass Vista.

Antelope Pass Vista

The first of many overlooks on the tour is Antelope Pass Vista on the western side of Highway 89. It’s an overlook offering sweeping views of Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, a gorgeous geological wonder. Resting just under the Utah state line, it measures almost 300,000 acres.

Horseshoe Bend

At Horseshoe Bend you will see a spectacular view of the Colorado River winding around a sandstone formation from the top of a 1,000-foot-tall cliff. It features a parking lot with restrooms, great views of the geological feature from the overlook and an approximate 1.5 mile hike. It gets very crowded between 9-11 a.m. and 4:30-6:30 p.m. During those hours the parking lot can get full, and no parking is allowed on Highway 89. Those who do will be ticketed and towed, you if it's full, you must circle back later. Parking fees: -Car or RV: $10

At the overlook there are picnic tables and a pavillin to spend some time and enjoy the view.

Potato Hill Overlook

There’s even more great views! At Potato Hill Overlook visitors can take an easy, one-mile round-trip walk to the overlook for a gorgeous view of Lake Powell and Antelope Island. The Page Rimview Trail is also accessed from there. As the name suggests, it loops around Page. It’s just over 10-miles or 16 kilometers long, and it’s a great spot for birding and biking.

Grandview Overlook

Not far from Potato Hill is the Grandview Overlook which affords panoramic views of Lake Powell and Navajo Mountain. It’s a peaceful place to spend some time.

Hanging Gardens Trail

At the Hanging Gardens trailhead, you’ll be treated to a 1.2 mile, or 2 kilometers, out-and-back trail. As the name suggests, it leads to a hanging garden, where plants actually grow on vertical rock surfaces.

The Chains

This is an easy to moderate hike where you can explore the area with a self-guided adventure through slickrock sand formations. It offers great views of canyon walls and the Glen Canyon Dam. Lakeshore access is possible depending on the current lake elevations. Hike should exercise extreme caution by the water because it is very deep at this location. To find the trailhead, take the first right on the gravel road after Ridge Way heading towards Glen Canyon Dam before the Glen Canyon Bridge.
