2 Days in Page.

We had to make some last minutes changers to our upcoming AZ trip. We will leave the South Rim, drive to Page, stay there 2 nights, and return to Sedona in mid afternoon. I desperately need some advise on a few exciting activities and the best way to sandwich then together. We are leaving in 4 days.





Is it possible to see the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon on the same day? Has anyone tried the Overland hiking tour or the Slot Canyon Hummer Adventures? Are there any tours of the Dam? What else should we see around Page?





Thanks!

Hi Gene,





Thank you for traveling to our beautiful part of the U.S. we appreciate your visit!





There%26#39;s plenty to do in Page and surrounding area for two days, I could easily spend a week there.





Yes, you can easily do both upper and lower Antelope Canyon. The Navajo guided tours of upper Antelope begin downtown Page and they are usually about 2 hours long. The lower section you drive out to the area, park and pay admission and walk thru - this usually takes a couple of hours as well.





I have not done the Overland hiking tour, however, I have heard good reports. You can also hike yourself to Horseshoe Bend - located a short distance west of Page on Hwy #89 - there%26#39;s a parking area and a trail that goes uphill then downhill to the overlook. You can easily do this in a couple of hours as well.





Lake Powell Resorts and Marina has sightseeing and dinner cruises on Lake Powell departing from Wahweap Lodge on the lake. You can see this information at:

Of course there%26#39;s kayaking on Lake Powell and there%26#39;s an outfitter in Page that will assist with that as well.





The Glen Canyon Dam has a great visitors center and a walking tour of the Dam as well.





So as you can see, there%26#39;s more that enough to keep you busy for two days and longer. Enjoy your trip!

There%26#39;s also the smooth water raft trip down the Colorado River starting below the dam.

Use the search box in the Page forum for the Overland and Hummer tours. You might find someone who has commented on them. For example I found this thread where someone wrote about their experience on the Hummer Adventure.

There are also a few hiking trails in the area. You can find out about these at the visitors center by the dam. I went of the ';Hanging Garden'; hike and really enjoyed it.
