It's about 30 miles east of the eastern end of the Grand Canyon within spittin' distance (as we say in Texas) of the Utah border. Just the drive there is amazing!
Page, Arizona came into being because of the Glen Canyon Dam project, and it became a major tourist attraction because of these amazing slot canyons and it's proximity to the Grand Canyon. This view of Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River as it begins its descent into the Grand Canyon is a scene you might be familiar with from movies:
Glen Canyon Dam is off to the right and as you follow the Colorado River to the left it begins it's begins to carve its way deep into the Grand Canyon. (Yes, that's me. Granpa has taken to calling me "Chunky Monkey." Could be worse - but I don't know how!)
These rock formations on the cliff above Horseshoe Bend portend beautiful things to come in the Antelope Canyons!
