The vast Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (520/608-6404, www.nps.gov/glca, $15 per vehicle or $7 per pedestrian or bicyclist for seven days, no charge for passing through Page on Hwy. 89) covers 1.25 million acres, most of which spreads northeast into Utah.
Lake Powell stands as the centerpiece, surrounded by beautiful canyon country. Just a handful of roads approach the lake, so you’ll need to do some boating or hiking to explore this unique land of water and rock. The recreation area also includes a beautiful remnant of Glen Canyon in a 15-mile section of the Colorado River from Glen Canyon Dam to Lees Ferry.
Note that Arizona does not observe daylight savings time. This means that mid-March–early November, the time in Page and surrounding areas will be an hour later than the time in Utah.
