Grand Canyon trip planning Enlightened
Page Arizona lies along a small strip of Lake Powell's 1900 miles of beautiful shoreline. Built during the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, Page is the tourist hub for Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Lake Powell. Aside from tourism both the Dam and a local power plant produce huge amounts of power for the Southwest Region.
A small town of about 8,000 residents, Page has most creature comforts one would need, including a few grocery stores, restaurants, and a good variety of hotels. There are quite a few tour companies who do trips to local hot spots including the Grand Canyon, and Aramark who runs boating and hotels concessions services on Lake Powell runs pretty much everything else. Aside from the public lands in and around Lake Powell, Page is also bordered by the Navajo Nation who makes up much of its population, and has a large influence on the community.
Outside of town Lake Powell and the surrounding Canyon Country offer a wonderland of activities for the outdoor enthusiast. Along with the large motorboats and houseboats, Lake Powell has great fishing, scuba diving, and some of the best Sea Kayaking in the world. Glen Canyon, Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, and the Navajo Reservation have some of the most unique and picturesque canyons in the world. Whether you want a mellow hike through Antelope Canyon, or you want a canyoneering adventure, there is a lifetime of exploration in this magical country.
