way!), let me introduce you to a little gem in the American Southwest: Page, Arizona.

From sky-high rocks to deep-blue waters, this place is packed with wow moments. It’s

perfect for families who love nature, fresh air, and doing cool things together. Let’s dive

into why Page should be your next healthy family getaway.

Page isn’t just a spot on the map. It’s a place where the land tells stories, and the views

make you stop and say, “Whoa.”

• Fun & Fitness: Hike, paddle, snap pics, or just run around—there’s no shortage of movement!

• Family Bonding: With so many jaw-dropping sights, you’ll spend more time saying “look at that!” than looking at screens.

Whether your crew likes to explore, relax, or do a little of both, Page brings the magic.

🌀 Antelope Canyon: Nature’s Crazy Cool Hallway

You’ve probably seen pictures of this place—it’s that curvy red canyon that looks like

waves frozen in time.

Antelope Canyon is so cool, and kids LOVE it. Here’s what you should know:

• You need a guide to explore it—book early!

• Light beams shine through the canyon at certain times, making it look like a movie scene.

• It’s a gentle walk, perfect for young explorers.

And if your kids like pretending they’re in a magical tunnel or exploring another planet—

this place is for them.

💧 Lake Powell: Splash, Paddle, and Float

Now let’s talk water! Lake Powell is a big, beautiful lake right next to Page. It’s amazing for

cooling off and having water fun.

Your family can:

• Rent kayaks or paddleboards for a peaceful adventure.

• Take a boat tour through narrow canyons—like floating between giant rock walls!

• Swim and relax on sandy beaches.

Pro Tip: Pack a healthy picnic and find a quiet cove. Water + sunshine + hummus wraps =

instant joy!

🌉 Horseshoe Bend: The Picture-Perfect View

Imagine standing on the edge of a cliff and looking down at a river that curves like a

horseshoe—that’s Horseshoe Bend. And yes, it’s as awesome as it sounds.

• It’s a short, flat walk from the parking lot (just bring water and hats—this is the desert!).

• The view is a total WOW—especially at sunrise or sunset.

• Great for family photos—this one’s going on the holiday card!

Kids love spotting boats way down below. Adults love the peaceful feeling of being

somewhere so big and quiet.

🌄 Glen Canyon Dam: Science + Nature = Super Cool

If your kids are curious minds (or love pressing buttons and learning how things work),

check out the Glen Canyon Dam Visitor Center.

• See how the dam holds back the mighty Colorado River.

• Learn about how electricity is made from water power.

• Spot fish or birds near the river below.

It’s fun and sneaky-educational (just the way we parents like it).

Page may be small, but it has tasty spots for the whole family:

• BirdHouse: Famous for juicy grilled chicken (ask for a salad wrap!).

• LP Espresso: Grab a smoothie and a healthy breakfast sandwich before heading out.

• Big John's Texas BBQ: Okay, this one's not exactly “spa food,” but it’s fun, filling, and full of local flavor—balance is everything!

Want to keep it simple? Pack trail mix, fruit, and reusable water bottles. Hydration is key in

the desert!

🧘‍♂️ Recharge in Nature

Even adventures need downtime. Luckily, Page has peaceful spots for family chill time.

• Sunset yoga by the lake (just bring a towel or mat).

• Stargazing—the night skies are epic. Teach the kids a few constellations.

• Slow walks along the lake or canyon edges—just listening to the wind.

These quiet moments help everyone relax, connect, and reflect on the day’s adventures.
