Hello Mallory

For one of the most rewarding views in Page, you'll want to check out this spot. A short, 5-to-10-minute walk from the free parking lot takes you down a series of stairs carved right into the sandstone to a fantastic overlook. From here, you get a stunning, unobstructed view of the massive Glen Canyon Dam and the deep turquoise of the Colorado River below. I'll be honest though -- it is very uneven and not necessarily a "trail" - If you're uneven on your feet, I'd probably skip this one, as the entire path is uneven rocks. The sand on the rocks can be very slippery. That said, my daughter loves it because it's a lot of fun climbing for her.
