2026 Page Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

Spending three days in Las Vegas without watching a show, gambling, or going to the Sphere to see The Wizard of Oz, besides two days of city walk and shopping, you must take a day to visit Antelope Canyon! Now is the best season to visit Lower Antelope Canyon, and the experience on-site is truly breathtaking. Remember to book a day tour in advance! I originally signed up for a private small group but couldn’t get tickets for Lower Antelope Canyon (apparently big companies control the tickets 😮‍💨), so I decisively canceled and switched to a regular group tour at the last minute. There weren’t many people, just 10 in a Mercedes van, the price was cheap, the itinerary was tight, and lunch was included. The tip was only $15, and there were no disappointments. Besides Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and other spots were also covered. The only downside is the long drive, at least 8 hours round trip… but it’s totally worth it! 🌄✨ Tips for entering the canyon: • No bags allowed inside, not even small shoulder bags (phones are allowed). • You will be divided into groups to enter the canyon. • If you want more time to take photos: walk at the back of your group! You’ll have much more space for photos than those in front and can avoid the crowd. • The group behind usually waits a bit, so don’t worry~

This was my favorite activity during our spring break road trip in the American West—absolutely worth recommending! Lake Powell is the second-largest man-made lake in the United States. The water is incredibly clear and beautiful, with slow currents. The lake reflects the red cliffs on both sides, creating breathtaking scenery. At the end of the kayaking route, you can start hiking after docking your kayak. No guided tours are required here, so you can enter Antelope Canyon for free! Compared to the rushed tours of Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon, I would definitely choose this natural and leisurely way to explore. We arrived at Page around 10 a.m. and went straight to rent a kayak. There are several rental shops in town, and they should all be similar. We rented a double kayak for $95 per day, including tax. The water route map is shown in photo 3. We went on March 10, and the weather was great, with a high of about 19°C. It took us about 1.5 hours to kayak to the destination, mostly with my partner paddling while I enjoyed the stunning scenery. On the way back, it took about an hour. Photo 4 shows the starting point. Be careful not to paddle past it when returning. Once you reach the end, you can start hiking. Antelope Canyon is beautiful, but I think the most stunning views are on the lake, with the cliffs and their reflections creating an absolutely mesmerizing scene. A few important tips: 1. Plan your timing well. Don’t start too early or too late. Starting too early can be quite cold; we saw people coming out wearing thick clothes. Starting too late might not leave enough time for hiking. 2. Some kayaking experience is necessary, and you should check the weather and wind speed in advance. Life jackets are mandatory, and the lake water is very cold, so capsizing is no joke. 3. Remember to protect yourself from the sun, bring plenty of drinking water, and wear sandals. Before hiking, you’ll need to drag your kayak ashore, which involves wading through water.

Join this one-day tour to Antelope Canyon, which includes tickets and lunch. Witness the changing light and shadows on the rocks in Antelope Canyon, stand by the rushing waters of Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell, and feel the history of tens of thousands of years unfold before your eyes.

White Pocket Located in Arizona, White Pocket is like a natural art palace. The colors of the rock layers range from pure white to deep orange, weaving intoxicating pictures. The Wave The Wave, near the aforementioned White Pocket, is so named for its landscape that resembles waves on the rock surface. Devil's Tower Devil's Tower is located in the northeast of Wyoming in the western United States. This towering giant column of rock was formed millions of years ago when magma from beneath the earth's surface surged and solidified. During the cooling process, the magma contracted to form countless tightly connected hexagonal rock columns. Monument Valley The rugged and chaotic terrain makes it feel like another planet, with red sandstone pillars standing like guardians of the earth. At sunrise and sunset, the sunlight drapes them in a golden coat. Sedona Sedona, a favorite vacation spot for Americans, is filled with ubiquitous red rocks and rock trails, and is a famous spiritual healing sanctuary. Craters of the Moon This corner of Idaho resembles an alien landscape with its black lava plains painting a 'lunar' surface.

#horseshoebend #amazing Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, United States. It is also referred to as the "east rim of the Grand Canyon." You'll rarely get to such an amazing natural wonder with such little effort. The hike is about 15 mins along a gentle well paved path. Once you get to the bend, walk around as there are a ton of places where you will get different views. If you like a bit of adventure, go all the way to the right and climb up for a special view. A little advice, dont get too near to the edge.

Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, United States. It is also referred to as the "east rim of the Grand Canyon." From the parking lot, we walked for about 10-15 minutes. Coming back will be a bit of a challenge since it's uphill. There are no railings, so watch your step. There are no trees, so it can get really hot. Take plenty of water. There's no fee for the parking or entrance to the site. Restrooms are at the parking area. We went here twice to view the sunset and sunrise. It was magnificent during sunrise. Don't miss this opportunity. Bit of a walk in on a Sandy path and hike out. #tripblazers #couplestrip #america

One of the essential destinations to visit in the United States, it is the Grand Canyon. Its spectacular natural formations and its impressive panoramic views make the experience unique and incredible. We recommend you to visit it during the sunrise or sunset as this way you can enjoy the infinity of colors that surround it, making it a real work of art. . . . #passionpassport #tripaway #usa #summervacation #horseshoebend #naturalwonders #canyon

#passionpassport This is one of the unique place I have visited in USA. Near to Grand Canyon, it wasn’t as famous way back and recently got famous in tourist. From the top of rim when seen down view looks amazing. This place is also near to Antelope Canyon so if that trip is planned it can be included in same stretch.From road it takes around 5 min to reach the bend and the walk can be tiring due to high temperature. But there are many viewing platforms and each place have different view. Some adventures people also climb nearby rocks to get more adventurous pic but it’s a nice to visit. There is parking lot which changes 10$ to park. Also have restrooms but not in very good condition. #horseshoebend #usa #travel

Lower Antelope Canyon is in Arizona. Many people are probably familiar with the wallpaper. Today, I got to see the real thing. It is an unseen tourist attraction that should be visited. We didn't book in advance, but when we arrived, we bought it and waited to enter the next round. The entrance to Lower Antelope Canyon is like going underground. There are stairs to walk down. The path is quite narrow, but not as narrow as the exit (in the first picture, how did you get up that way? 🤣). Along the way, there will be a guide to lead the way. The guide recommends taking pictures from a high angle and tells you which angles are beautiful. He also recommends poses for taking pictures. The inside of Lower Antelope is narrow, but not so narrow that you can't walk. You have to climb a little bit. But overall, I was very impressed. 🧡🧡 ✨✨ We went on this trip in 2019.

a 270º horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the #coloradoriver 🏞, the #horseshoebend is made up of three rock layers. 🧲 the bottom is kaibab limestone, the middle coconino sandstone, and the top hermit shale. 🪨 its waters are roughly 1,000 ft (305 m) deep in #glencanyon of page, #arizona 🔥

Gorgeous place located in Page, Arizona, not far away from Grand Canyon, which is a also great place to visit. We also went to lower Antelope Canyon, very beautiful, definitely recommend to go there, but you have to book in advance to make sure you’re able to get in, as tickets sold out very fast. Horseshoe Bend has convenient parking, suitable for all ages, does not require a lot of walking to see the beautiful you. We went to visit this place in April, the weather was perfect not too cold and not too hot. try to avoid hot summer days to visit this place, very open area and might be difficult to stay under the sun for a long time. 

📍Antelope Canyon: Sacramento County, California, USA Introducing the most beautiful and cool canyon I've ever seen! ⛰ The combination of the orange canyon and the sky was really beautiful I think it's a place that can never be captured in a photo I think it's really one of the natural landscapes you must see before you die! Photographers who capture the spectacular Antelope Canyon on film say that it is a 'place that blesses the eyes, heart, and soul' ⭐️ Even on a good day, there is a risk of flash floods, so you must go with a guide! #Canyon #CanyonTour #Canyon #CanyonTour #AntelopeCanyon #AntelopeCanyon #USTravel #USWesternTravel #6BigCanyonTour

Horseshoe Bend is a canyon of the Colorado River shaped like a horseshoe. It's on the way from the Grand Canyon to Bryce Canyon. Antelope Canyon is nearby. If you look here, you'll see that it looks like the picture. Park at the entrance parking lot and walk in for about 30 minutes. #USATravel

This is Monument Valley in Arizona, USA. It reminds me of the old TV series Airwolf. It is located within an Indian reservation and has a unique terrain with red-colored soil. I’ve seen it in many pictures, so it’s not unfamiliar. It’s included in the general 5 major canyon tour package in the western United States. I stopped by before going from the Grand Canyon to Bryce Canyon, but it’s quite far away. #HotPlace

Horseshoe Bend in the Grand Canyon! The famous Grand Canyon that you must visit before you die! The first place we went was Horseshoe Bend. You can take a breathtaking life shot in the horseshoe-shaped canyon created by the Colorado River. I felt like I took 100 great pictures here. The canyon is incredibly deep, but. You can never guess it in a picture. When you look down, your heart sinks. That's why the Grand Canyon is a place you have to see with your own eyes! #USATravel #GrandCanyon #GrandCanyon #Horseshoe #HorseshoeBend #CampingTravel #OverseasTravel #WorldTraveler

#Missing the forest Horseshoe Bend The Colorado River, which flows around in a curve like a horseshoe The highlight of the trip is here. You have to park your car at the bottom and walk up to this point. It is a highlight that you should come to when the sun is about to set and when the sun rises. It is really beautiful. We planned to come when the sun was about to set, but because of the delay in the trip, we arrived when the light was almost gone. We ran until we were out of breath. When we saw the view of the mountains and the river in front of us, we were no longer tired. We were very impressed. #shallwego

USA - Monument Valley A place I saw a lot in Western movies when I was young. Monument Valley, the sacred place of the Indians. #USATravel #MonumentValley #LifeTravelDestination #SafeTravel

Horseshoe Bend in the shape of a horseshoe‼️ Horseshoe Bend has a very different height, so you can see it better if you go to the highest place. I applied for a tour and went, but it was a pity that I went when it was backlit,, but I was satisfied because the sunset on the other side was so pretty😊 When applying for a tour, it would be good to find out what time and where you are going‼️ Also, you have to walk through the desert for about 15 minutes from the parking lot to see Horseshoe Bend. It's hard to walk, so I recommend sneakersㅎㅎ‼️ It's incredibly high, so if you look closely, you can see people camping under the river. The more you look closely, the more beautiful nature is👍🏻👍🏻 #USATravel#USA#LasVegas#HorseshoeBend#HorseshoeBend#Canyon#CanyonTour#WithNature #2019Travel#LifeTravelDestination#SafeTravel

American West Self-driving | The Antelope Canyon that God's hand touched! Mushroom is finally going to the Antelope Valley today! The name of Antelope Canyon is also very interesting. The Navajos feel that this is a sacred place to communicate with nature. The god they believe in is the most primitive natural mother. Navajo, you may be strange, in other words, Indians, you are certainly no stranger. For the selection of the upper and lower Antelope Valley, the mushroom that chooses phobia will always be asked, what should I choose? There are 10,000 Raiders on the Internet that recommend you to choose the Antelope Valley because you can see the legendary "Light of God." However, the mushroom that did not take the usual path, chose the Lower Antelope Valley. The Lower Antelope Valley requires more physical strength than the Upper Antelope Valley. Because the Lower Antelope Valley is mostly a ladder, it needs to be climbed, but because of its unique landform, it can shoot even more amazing exclusive scenery. Therefore, it is more suitable for photographers. Antelope Valley is so beautiful, the guide will stop at each place where there is a story, detailing the legends of India, and telling everyone the best shooting angle, even personally teaching! The small partners who come to the United States must not miss the beauty of the Antelope Valley~ TIPS 1. Look at the weather forecast again, and do not open the door on rainy days. 2. Good offline map, Google precise positioning. 3. No use, GO PRO or stabilizer for shooting, tripod, only with mobile phone, camera. Backpacks are not allowed to bring it! 4. The tour takes up to two and a half hours, which is absolutely enough for everyone to shoot.

The entrance to the horseshoe is somewhat different from what I imagined because I didnt think we would put the car at the parking spot then we need to walk a few kilometers and go up and down far down The sunken horse's hooves standing on the edge of the cliff overlooking the Colorado River under the cliffs can enjoy the idea that waiting for the sunrise has become the battlefield of the local brave horseshoe bay watching the sunrise / Hh/but due to the itinerary we just go to at sunset. Actually this is not a good time because the sunset causes the horseshoe to retire and it is not clear. I think the best time to go is noon. When the sun is above the head, it won't affect the lighting heat. The Horseshoe Bay, which is not in the Antelope Valley, was originally a regular river channel in the Arizona River because of the rare 270-degree backwater bend. Its not ordinary The soil with a lot of iron and manganese under the help of the sun is covered with a metallic luster unique landform and attractive scenery attracting a large number of photographers and tourists Become the eyes of people Miss the scenery standing on the Colorado River gorge summit overlooking the depths of the towering cliffs hides a dark river it is the fear that it is the mystery that is life

We arrived in Grenada, the "Spice Island" of the Caribbean, by cruise ship. Its capital, St. George, is also known as the "Rainbow City." It rained a dozen times in the few hours we were ashore, and rainbows did indeed frequently appear amidst the alternating sunshine and rain. However, it's still the dry season, so the downpours came and went quickly, not significantly affecting our trip. We brought an umbrella, occasionally taking shelter under eaves, and managed to explore the horseshoe-shaped bay. We even had an unexpected "reward"—an elderly man on a hilltop offered us a large bag of nutmeg (picture 13; of course, we couldn't accept it, politely declining, taking only one as a sign of respect and a souvenir 🌰). Nutmeg is one of Grenada's economic lifelines, featured on the flag 🇬🇩, but two hurricanes in the past 20 years have nearly devastated the crop, making it expensive in the market, and even more so in tourist areas where two nuts cost a dollar. Yuan However, overall prices here are not high for the Caribbean region. 💵Reference prices for some shore excursions 🚂Train: $15 USD, approximately 45 minutes, with 2 stops (museum and castle, see photos ⑮⑯) 🚕Taxi from the pier to the beach: $10 USD per person one way (two people per car, lower price for larger groups), approximately 15 minutes. 🚤Ferry from the pier to the beach: $15 USD per person round trip, approximately 15 minutes. 🚌Official charter: $90 USD for 1-2 people for 3 hours, $10 USD per additional person (route map ⑭); many private taxis are also available near the pier, prices are negotiable. 📷Regular attractions 🥇Capital city and beaches 🏰Town St. George Town 🏖️Grand Anse Beach 🥈Central Nature 🏞️Grand Etang Forest Reserve ⛲Annandale Waterfalls 🥉Diving or boat trips, including the Underwater Sculpture Park We only chose to explore the capital on foot, but we walked quite a bit, covering every angle and section of Carinage Horseshoe Harbor. (A video guide is available in another post on the homepage) 🔁Route Reference (Picture 17 above) Cruise Port Terminal ⬇️Not far from the entrance Market Square Spice Market (Picture 12) ⬇️Walk up Market Hill Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception ⬇️Continue uphill along Church St and Old Fort Rd Near the top of the hill, you can enjoy panoramic views of Horseshoe Bend and Fort. George ⬇️ Descend the hill via Lucas St to Woolwich Rd. View of the city from the opposite side (Photo ②) ⬇️ Continue down to the waterfront road. Pass the Queen's Jetty and the Christ of the Deep statue (Photos ④ and ⑤) ⬇️ Grenada National Museum ⬇️ House of Chocolate (Photo ⑨) ⬇️ Anglican Church Tower ⬇️ Scots Kirk ⬇️ Fort George (Photo ⑧, under renovation, temporarily closed) ⬇️ Sendall Tunnel (Photo ⑪) ⬇️ Cruise Port Terminal 🔶 The loop is not long (about 10,000 steps), but involves a lot of uphill climbing. The weather is hot and humid, so it can be tiring. If you're not in good physical condition, you can just do the shorter loop. The city takes about two hours. If you have enough time, you can go to Great Anse Beach for sunbathing and swimming. If you have even more time, consider hiring a car to visit the rainforest waterfalls. ❤️More

#2026New Year's Eve While traveling through the western United States, the places that most captivated me were Horseshoe Bend and Monument Valley. Both are desert landscapes, but their feel is completely different. Putting them together on the same itinerary adds to the contrast. --- Horseshoe Bend Review While the trail is almost flat, the sun and wind can be quite tiring. Upon reaching the overlook, the Colorado River flows in a literal horseshoe shape, much deeper and more impressive than it appears in the photo. The lack of railings offers an open view, and the red soil beneath the ground makes the photos come out vibrantly colored. Tips ✔ Morning, sunset, and night all have different vibes (sunset is the most dramatic). ✔ Water, sunscreen, and a hat are essential (no shade). ✔ Drones are prohibited. ✔ Be careful when taking photos of cliffs (safety first). --- Monument Valley Review Monument Valley's scenery is static, but the emotions change depending on the time of day. Red sandstone monoliths stand in the distance, and the scenery slowly changes as you drive. This is the most intuitive representation of the quintessential "western road trip image." The sunset and the stars in the night sky complement each other, making the scene even more complete. Tips ✔ Sunset, stars, and sunrise are all worthwhile. ✔ Loop drive is possible (a Ford SUV or Jeep is safe). ✔ For accommodation, The View Hotel or Goulding's Lodge are recommended (the views are stunning). ✔ Dust and strong sunlight in summer. --- Reasons for combining the two: ✔ Horseshoe Bend = Depth & Rivers ✔ Monument Valley = Horizontal, Desert, and Monoliths These two unique combinations reinforce each other. --- Planning Tips Summary ⭐ Getting Around · Page is the easiest base. · Easy connections to the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Zion, and more. ⭐ Seasons · Spring and Fall → Best · Summer → Expect heat · Winter → Short daylight hours but a pleasant atmosphere. ⭐ Equipment · Sunglasses + Water + Sunscreen · Photography is more fun with both a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens. --- These two destinations aren't just "spots to take a few shots and leave," but destinations that require a full appreciation of light and time.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic.
