I thought this was a great little hike!  If you are spending time in Page and want to do an evening hike after playing in Lake Powell, this one would be great.

Be a responsible explorer




The trailhead begins on the west side of the city of Page.  It’s an easy trail that won’t take very long.  There are many steps though so keep that in mind.

The trail will hug the very top of the canyon before getting you incredible views of the Glen Canyon Dam and Colorado River below.  Please be very careful because there plenty of chances for people to slip and potentially fall. (it’s about an 800 ft. drop to the river bottom)

During my visit, the trail was pretty busy with a bus of tourists enjoying the views.  

At the overlook, you get a direct head-on view of the dam.   There are some information signs there.  I thought this was a fun place to just relax after hiking all day.
