Located on Scenic View Dr, this lookout is a must stop if you are in Page. A short hike down a trail -stairs, steps on rocks to the rim of Glen Canyon, you get a commanding view of the Glen Canyon dam and Lake Powell. Amazing.

If I had more time I would have chosen for the guided tour to actually walk around the Glen Canyon Dam and get more information. Yet the visitors center right beside the dam is very interesting to go to.With video's, pictures and simple explanations you get the story behind the dam, why it's been build next to many others, its connection to Grand Canyon and why it's been called Glen Canyon. Since I first visited the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, all this information was very interesting to read after. I've read a lot there as well and this information connected to the info I've read before.Lake Powell and the connection to the Glen Canyon Dam is also explained very thoroughly and the way the visitors center is set up, I liked a lot. Not too much reading, huge photos and video's that ask visitors to touch the screen and move forward if they want to know more or less.Driving from their up to Panguitch was definitely one of the more beautiful road trips I did and if you stop here you should also stop a little down the road at HorseShoe Bend.This is a great stop on your way!

Nice place to visit with the family and it's totally free! They have several interesting exhibits inside and you get an awesome view of the dam. It's a great place to stop by for about 30-45 minutes. They also have a pretty nice gift shop if you want to pick up any souvenirs.

Worth stopping to see the dam and canyon . You get up close look . They also have tours of the dam but we didn't need to take it after getting some great views for free. Great photo ops

OK, it is a lot of concrete in a beautiful canyon. But it is very scenic and the visitor center is good. It doesn't take a lot of time, but if you are there to See Antelope and Horseshoe, you show go out to it.

Didn't even think of this before we reached Page, but we had two hours to kill after breakfast for a raft trip. Dropped in here. There are many displays on what the dam accomplishes, a decent souvenir shop, etc. What's most amazing is the dam and its views are almost as cool as Hoover, but we paid nothing for it, and didn't have to fight traffic and a million people to see it. The views are good, both downstream into the climbing canyon walls, and upstream to Lake Powel. If you're in Page, it's just stupid to not stop here.

We parked around sunset and walked out over the water, some amazing colors reflected in the water and canyon walls. Sun finished and we strolled back, very few people that late.

We arrived at the dam just before it closed and were advised that no more tours until 0900hrs the next morning, dually we arrived back next morning at 0855hrs thinking we were in plenty of time for the tour, only to be told that we should have arrived at least 15mins before the tour for security checks and the next tour was not for another 2 hours, as we had another 400 miles to drive we were unable to stay. Message for the staff, advise tourists and put on the website the full details of tours. Interesting small display, Great dam views outside

I found the dam tour a bit boring, but it was fun to walk out over the dam itself. My husband the engineer loved the tour. Lots of facts about the building of the dam and how it operates.

You get a great view from inside the visitor center. There is a nice gift shop and a great guided tour of the dam. We are glad we did it.
