Antelope Canyon review

When you are in Page you will probably want to check out Antelope Canyon. Lake Powell is directly attached to Antelope Canyon. This is a short Antelope Canyon review.

Here an Antelope Canyon picture (click to enlarge):


Check this link to read more about Antelope Canyon.

I got a coupon for Antelope Canyon but enjoying my day around Lake Powell I did not make any use of it. I drove to the park by car. Entrance fee is 20$ unless you have a national park pass.

Antelope Canyon dissappointed me as I saw no real Canyon. Only some ciffs around Lake Powell, but really, you can already see them from Page. I recommend you not to check out Antelope Canyon. However, I have to say, I have only been at Antelope very short.

Hope you enjoyed my Antelope Canyon review. My rating for Antelope Canyon is 3/10.

Glen Canyon Dam review

Lake Powell is nearby the town of Page. What you will want to see when hanging around lake Powell is the Glen Canyon Dam. This is a short review of Glen Canyon.

Here a Glen Canyon Dam picture (click to enlarge):


For more information about facts of the Dam, please see this link.

There is a bridge going over Glen Canyon Dam which everyone can drive on. You will have a fascinating view on the Colorado river and the Dam. There is a Glen Canyon Dam visitor center which everyone can check out for free. You may however take no guns, knives, bags and soft drinks inside. The security is very strict.... The visitor center itself has a lot of information about Glen Canyon Dam. That was very interesting.

Hope you enjoyed my short Glen Canyon Dam review. My rating 10/10 points. It is a must for every engineer. It is human intelligence on its best.

Lake Powell resorts review

With Grand Canyon as my final national park destination I slept one night around Page at Lake Powell. The hotel I was in was the Lake Powell resorts & marinas. This is a short review of my Lake Powell resorts.

Arriving at the hotel I had to wait almost an hour at the front desk to check in. Lake Powell resorts has an own beach which you can access whenever you like. It is only around 50 feet away from the hotel depending on your location in Lake Powell resorts. Lake Powell resorts has a gym and two pools. I have not been in the gym, but both pools are relatively good. You can also book Lake Powell resorts ship tours. In my case they were full and I was required to book them via Internet. Nonetheless, 120$ per person for an 8 hour ship tour is too much if you ask me.

Lake Powell resorts has two integrated restaurants which are relatively expensive (15 $ for a pizza). There are also several open Lake Powell resorts WiFi networks of which none worked for me... The front desk said they were working on it, it seems with no luck because 48 hours later it was still not working. The rooms in the Lake Powell resorts were okay.

My rating of Lake Powell resorts: 8/10. Hope you enjoyed my Lake Powell resorts review. My next hotel is going to be a Best Western at Grand Canyon.

Lake Powell review

The hotel I am sleeping in is named Lake Powell resorts and is 100 yards away from Lake Powell. From my room I have a wonderful view on Lake Powell. I would like to provide you a short review of Lake Powell.

Here a Lake Powell picture (click to enlarge):


Check out this link for more information about historic and geographic aspects of Lake Powell.

The temperature of Lake Powell today was 82° degrees which is perfect for cooling off and swimming. The water color is brown-muddy because of Colorado river erosion. Nonetheless Lake Powell's water is very clean.

You can rent Jet skis, speed boats or even house boats right here, which I did not do because of high costs... Nevertheless, when traveling to Grand Canyon, make a stop in Page and check out Lake Powell. The lake is very relaxing.

Hope you enjoyed my Lake Powell review. My rating of Lake Powell: 8/10 points.

Taco Bell in Page

I went from my hotel just outside of Page to Page itself to get breakfast. The restaurant where I went was the Taco Bell Page. I really like Mexican food and would like to provide you with a short review of Taco Bell here in Page.

My Burrito Supreme was done within 5 minutes and tasted very good. Nothing bad about the service and my Taco Bell meal.

All in all, another good Taco Bell. Hope you enjoyed my short review of Taco Bell in Page. 10/10 points.

Supermarkets in Page

Page offers two major supermarkets. I went to SafeWay but another alternative would be Walmart here in Page. I would like to provide you a short review of SafeWay in Page.

First of all, SafeWay has two different prices, one for club members and one for normals customers. Go to the front desk in SafeWay and ask for a club membership. It does not cost you anything and you save almost 40%... SafeWay wants you to join their club for marketing purposes.... Just join it and you will save a lot. I really liked the SafeWay supermarket in Page, it was clean and had everything I wanted. I have not been at the Wallmart in Page, but it probably is a good alternative.

Although Page is small, the supermarkets are okay. As I already said, you only have the SafeWay supermarket, or Walmart. Not sure if there is another supermarket around Page... Hope you enjoyed my short review of supermarkets in Page, Arizona. I attached you a map of the supermarket where I have been in Page.
