Page, Arizona: Desert Wonders Without the Price Tag

📸 Antelope Canyon – A Budget Must-Do A trip to Page isn’t complete without a stop at the iconic Antelope Canyon. While it’s the one splurge here, it’s absolutely worth it. Choose the lower canyon for a slightly more affordable experience and fewer crowds. Book early and aim for mid-day for those magical light beams. 🏞️ Horseshoe Bend – Free Views That Wow Just a short drive from town, Horseshoe Bend delivers postcard-perfect views with zero entrance fees. The short hike is easy, and the payoff is massive. Sunrise or sunset? You can’t go wrong. 🛶 Lake Powell – Budget-Friendly Splash You don’t need a pricey boat tour to enjoy Lake Powell. Opt for free lake access at Lone Rock Beach or rent a kayak for an affordable way to explore the water. 🥾 Hike Around Glen Canyon Skip the tours and take in Glen Canyon Dam and surrounding trails at your own pace. Educational signage makes it a self-guided win. 🍔 Cheap Eats, Big Flavors Grab a hearty Navajo taco from local food trucks or check out Big John’s BBQ for tasty, shareable meals that won’t empty your wallet. 🏕️ Budget Stays with Big Skies Page has affordable motels and scenic campgrounds if you’re up for sleeping under the stars. Wahweap Campground is popular and close to key sights. 🛍️ Souvenir Hunt at Powell Blvd Skip the overpriced shops and find handmade Native jewelry or desert-inspired trinkets at local vendors along the main strip.
