Lake Powell & Glen Canyon

Arrived in Page, Arizona Wednesday afternoon. Our start was delayed by 1.5 hours due to a slight mishap with our slide. We normally do a very thorough check of the interior and exterior of the coach before we take off, but this time we both missed an item next to the slide and when we brought it in it hooked on the wood panel and pulled it off. Ugh!! I guess it happens to every RVer at one time or another. Of course we didn’t have the right nails and the car was already hooked up so I walked to the closest store to buy the nails and screws Ron needed to make the repairs. Not exactly how we wanted to start our day, but I got my walk in…for sure.

Page, Arizona is on Lake Powell and surrounded by Glen Canyon. Waters of the Colorado River and its tributaries were backed up 185 miles to form Lake Powell. The canyon is a spectacular geological landscape. Much of the lake can only be viewed by renting a boat or hiking, neither of which Ron can do at this time with his knees. But the observation points, dam & bridge are accessible by car and still provide awesome views.


Our drive into Page, AZ. From a distance we weren't sure the
coach was going to fit!


Scenery along the drive to the campground.


View of Glen Canyon and the Colorado River.


View from Wawweap Point. One of the best views of Lake Powell accessible by car


View from our campsite. Lots of trees, view of lake in distance.

  1. Sounds like you're having fun. I've been following your blog. I think they is an rv park in Long Beach right near downtown and the waterfront. If you head our way sometime, check it out and let us know.

  2. Spent a short time in Hemet CA only to attend a rally. Our next trip in that area will be the entire west coast, but probably won't be for awhile. When we get in your area, we will be certain to make contact. Thanks for the comment
