My Mum and I took a 6 to the Rainbohour boat trip and walked in to the Rainbow Bridge. A 20 min walk not too difficult. The scenery going in was brilliant stunning buttes and mesas. A sight to behold. Well worth the trip.
We did the full day sail from Lake Powell Marina . If you have the time and physical fitness I am sure hiking in would bring more rewards. The way in was full of interesting and attractive scenes and the commentary from the tour and captain of the ship informative and timely. The bridge itself is REALLY big.We did not visit Arches NP this trip but it certainly dwarfs any thing there. the way back slightly tired and through the same scenery was slightly boring until the weather changed Black clouds and heavy rain and as we neared the harbour a small boat with a motor that would not start . So we hung around until the Coast Guard cutter was on its way. By the time we reached dock the sun was shining.
It is an easy hike to this wonderful natural bridge. You get a real perception of its size when you see people walking under it. There are only two ways to get there; hike or by boat; we took the boat tour from the Wahweap Marina in Page. It was awesome!!!
i loved seeing the rainbow bridge but it is cooler driving on it i recommend seeing it at night .to get from the airport to down town Tokyo you must go on this it is super cool
Rainbow bridge is a beautiful thing to see. If you are at Lake Powell I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. From what I've heard, you can hike there or take a boat tour. I have done neither. I think the best way to get there is to drive your own boat there. Once you get there you have to go on a short hike and then you're there! Great activity!!
We took the boat trip from Lake Powell Resort and thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Before arriving at Rainbow Bridge you pass some amazing scenery. When you dock, you have a 20 minute walk to the bridge which is awe inspiring as it comes into sight.
We took the boat tour out of Wahheep Marina, when we got to Rainbow Bridge were told we had a mile & 1/4 walk to Rainbow Bridge. We elected not to walk as we had seen this monument previously .. at one time when the water was high you could see Rainbow Bridge from the Boat! The majority of the passengers did the round trip walk and were pleased.
HUGE arch...can see shadow of it on google maps satellite it is so big !!!.... MUCH easier to see it by boat...MUCHHHHH easier
Well worth the trip from Page, or on a houseboat vacation. As the water has lowered, it has become more of a hike to get closer, but it's picturesque and well worth it. The enormity and grandeur are breathtaking, no wonder it is sacred to the natives.
A previous reviewer said there are only two ways to get there, to hike or take the tour boat out of Wahweap Marina. There is a third, as mentioned in my previous review, which is a speedboat tour out of Antelope Point. The tour operator we had before has ceased to operate but there is another, offering a similar package. Cost is about twice the larger boat but the time is about half and it is a "private" tour for up to 6 people. Cost is per trip, not per person. To us the time savings and the lack of a crowd around you, plus the possibility to visit in the afternoon when the light is better, was worth it. You can contact Bonnie at bpryor@apmlp.com.
