Travel to Page, Arizona with Bob & Wilma

Page, AZ is a small town (population 7,531) on the Arizona/Utah border. It was established in 1957 as a construction base for the workers of the Glen Canyon Dam and their families.

The natural beauty of the area is a wonder with some parts having even been designated as National Parks or National Monuments. Two hours by boat from Page is Rainbow Bridge National Monument, a sacred site to several American Indian groups, just seeing it makes one quiet, and reverent.

The Wave, a fantastic formation and a hiker's dream, is found in the Vermilion Cliff National Monument.

And nearby, part of the Navajo Nation, are the Upper and Lower Slot Canyons, incredible in color and narrowness,

joined only by an impassable crack in the earth.

The dam, Glen Canyon Dam, blocks the Colorado River and forms Lake Powell and on leaving the lake, the river makes a Horseshoe shaped bend of nearly 360 degrees.

Here in this area, powerful forces of wind and water have formed many other natural and unique formations.

Added to all this beauty is a flock of thriving, reintroduced California Condors that often find shelter under the historic Navajo bridge. Few places on earth can boast of so much beauty in such a small geographic area and such a large geological time span.
