Also called the “east rim of the Grand Canyon”, this horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the mighty Colorado River is less than four miles out of Page and five miles downstream from Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam in the gorgeous Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. You can reach it via a one-and-a-half-mile round trip hiking trail from the parking area right off US Route 89 in southwestern Page.  

Prior to 2015, it was comparatively ignored. Today there is a large parking lot, the trail is managed, and there is even an official viewing platform there because the place has become so popular. As this goes to press, it will cost you at least $10.00 to park your vehicle there.
