Page, Arizona: a central location for popular desert destinations like Antelope Canyon and more

Published on by Great EscapetationsLeave a comment

Recently, I traveled to the small desert town of Page, Arizona, located at the border of Arizona and Utah. I was fortunate to get a writing assignment (for three blogs) for the opening of a new and glamping site called The Canyons RV Resort and Cabins. While I was there, I had the opportunity to learn about the area and the many attractions in town and within a few hours’ driving time range. If you’ve ever wanted to visit Antelope Canyons and Horseshoe Bend, Page is the place to go. Take a look at what I’ve discovered and “bookmark” your future adventure.

As we rattled down a country road through peaceful deserted fields, a pebble flew straight up and then came straight back down, leaving its mark—a spider crack—on our windshield. We cursed and trudged on.

Snow and Sunsets in Albuquerque

Mid-April 2020, we followed Route 66, and found ourselves once again in New Mexico, just outside of Albuquerque. We drove past the billboard featuring a Route 66 postcard that marks the entrance to Enchanted Trails RV Park, and settled into our parking spot behind the now familiar vintage RVs.

The Road of Isolation

I-40 took us out of Kingman through the rocky and austere Arizona landscape, past the snowy Humphreys Peak in Flagstaff, then Meteor Crater, and down to a wide spot in the road, Holbrook, Arizona.
