After departing Zion, the 2nd stop on my southwest camping trip was Glen Canyon and Page. Other than the places I’ve called home, this was the first place where I have returned to visit as a tourist. But this time, I checked out more than just the famous Horseshoe Bend – and boy was there a lot to see and discover. Check out some ideas to add onto your itinerary.
The Toadstools

Nestled in the colorful sandstone hills …

I found myself surrounded with hoodoos,

free to roam and explore

and take fun pictures.
Glen Canyon – Cathedral Wash

The drive was gorgeous

The hike through the wash started out wide and sandy …

It quickly narrowed with some obstacles to climb past.

I had a lot of fun tracing the path of what was once a raging river that carved out this canyon.

A little more accessible is the little beach by Lee’s Ferry where you can find people fishing and chilling.

And of course, I had to end the great day with a beautiful sunset accompanied by a chunky steak!
Horseshoe Bend

Jump started the next day bright and early, roaming down the deserted road …

… to capture my own classic shot of Horseshoe Bend
