Distance from car park.
Hi,
How far is the walk from the car park please?
Thanks
The distance from the car park at most popular Page attractions, such as Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Lake Powell viewpoints, varies depending on the site and whether you are visiting Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon.
Here’s a detailed breakdown:
- Upper Antelope Canyon: The walk from the parking lot to the canyon entrance is relatively short, typically about 0.25 miles (400 meters) on flat, sandy paths. The path is mostly easy to moderate, though it can be sandy and uneven in spots.
- Lower Antelope Canyon: Access involves descending stairs and navigating some narrow passageways. From the parking area, it’s roughly a 0.3 mile (500 meters) walk to the canyon entrance. Keep in mind the terrain inside the canyon is uneven and can require some minor climbing over rocks.
- Horseshoe Bend: From the main parking lot, it is about a 0.75 mile (1.2 km) walk along a sandy and slightly uphill trail to the overlook. The trail is well-marked but can be challenging in hot weather due to sun exposure and sand.
- Lake Powell viewpoints or Glen Canyon Dam: Parking areas are usually adjacent to the viewpoints, requiring only a very short walk of a few hundred feet to reach scenic overlooks.
Additional tips:
- Wear comfortable shoes suitable for sand and uneven surfaces.
- Bring water, especially for longer walks like Horseshoe Bend, since temperatures in Page can get very hot.
- If you have mobility issues, check with the specific tour or park as some offer shuttle services closer to the entrance or viewpoint.
Overall, most attractions in Page require a walk ranging from a few hundred feet up to about three-quarters of a mile. Planning for time and heat, especially in summer, will make the experience more comfortable.
