A quick visit will surely make your trip to Page even better, the center is well maintained, properly documented and also has activities for kids. Our boy was quite motivated to get their Junior ranger badge. You won't be wasting your time spending 45 minutes at GCNRA

We took a rafting trip through Glen Canyon with Colorado River Discovery, and it was a very fun day trip. While Glen Canyon isn't the largest or most majestic in Arizona, it had some pretty cliffs and colors (maybe it would have been more impressive if we hadn't just come from the Grand Canyon). We didn't have the time or inclination to spend 4+ days rafting in cold water, so our one-day trip was perfect. The Glen Canyon Dam was cool to see from the water, as was the famous Horseshoe Bend. Another highlight was the ancient petroglyph panel where you stop halfway through the trip. All in all a fun, family-friendly day on the water (the rapids are very mild).

Nice place. There is a small beach where you can enjoy with kids (if you have). If you are looking for cruise then you have a option and I must say you will enjoy ride. There are so many amazing views then you will like so make sure if you enough space in your camera to capture those moments. Enjoy!!!!

The only part of the Recreation Area that we visited was the Glen Canyon Dam and Visitor Center. The center is very informative with wonderful views and an extensive gift shop. Don't miss a guided tour of the dam itself. Our tour guide was a former employee of the dam and was very well-versed in the workings of the dam. You get to walk out on part of the dam and then take an elevator down to the bottom to see the inner workings of the dam and get a view from the bottom. This is about a 45-minute tour and very well-worth it!

Beautiful scenery, especially at sunset. If you take a boat tour try to be first to get place on a top level of the ship. Lower cabin does not give as good view as a top level.

One of the most beautiful (and fun) places in the United States. Houseboats everywhere; fishing, canoeing, skiing, diving, you name it! The scenery is gorgeous with the buttes and red, pink and white rocks along the shores. I love this place!

The four hour journey down the Colorado river is excellent from seeing the tall cliffs from another angle to watching the fisherman out in the river fly fishing. The river meanders slowly for many mile as the water is held back by the huge Lake Powell Dam which is similar in size to the Hoover Dam. Both the rafting experience and a trip aroung the dam is well worth a visit.

Glen Canyon NRA is very scenic and like an oasis in the desert. If you are a boater, you will love the place. It is run by the Bureau of Reclamation and is a fee area. If you have a National Parks Senior Pass, you can get it under that. Otherwise, it will cost you $5 to get through the gate. You can take the road to the marina and hotel area to get a feeling for the Lake Powell and the facilities. We made a quick stop to see what was there as we were basically just passing through on our way to the Grand Canyon. However, it is nice enough that we may want to come back to do a little boating on the lake.

We wanted to see both sides of the Saguaro National Park, as well as Tucson, and the Living Desert Museum. This was a great place to stay. The RV spots were not close together, and it had hook-ups for $22.00 a night.

It's worth driving around and seeing the beautiful views, but no water activities in chilly November. You can still take limited boat tours, though. We didn't have time, the canyons must be very pretty.
