Lone Rock is located at the western end of the lake. Access is free because it'snot in the Recreation area. Nice place to swim.

Access : from Page, take US89A north to the dam. To go to Lone Rock, continue on US89A north for 7,7 miles (12,4 kms) and turn right on Lone Rock Road.

1 day with a boat

There are 2 ways to discover Rainbow Bridge : by boat or on foot.

• By boat on the lake Powell : that's a all day boat trip including a lunch which leads in narrow canyons and then to Rainbow Bridge. This solution is quite expensive: $ 129 in 2007.
• on foot : a hiking trail of 17 miles (27 kms)takes you to this site (not tested by us). You'll need a permit from the Navajo nation and a good 4 WD.

Pictures of Rainbow bridge below were taken back in 1999. There was still some water below the bridge. Nowadays, there's no more water and you'll have to walk 1,24 mile one way from the boat to get to Rainbow bridge. And as the level of the lake is going down, the walk is getting longer !

A half day

70$ in 2007

Several companies in Page offer this kind of excursion. Departure is by bus from the company that brings you to the foot of the dam where the rafts are waiting. And go for 3 hours to Lees Ferry. A stop is planned to watch Indian paintings. It is also an opportunity for the more adventurous to try swimming in cold water from the Colorado River. This excursion also passes at the foot of Horseshoe Bend, whiwh gives a very different view than the one we are used to. The return is by bus.

Tip : prefer this excursion in the morning to enjoy a real cool (bring a sweater anyway). Watch out for sunburn because of the reverb.

The accommodations, although abundant in Page, are however insufficient and very expensive. It becomes very difficult to find accommodation in Page. We strongly advise you to book in advance. Otherwise, you may not find accommodation or pay very expensive. We have tested :

• Page - Wahweap Campground : campsite located on the edge of lake Powell. This campground is large with many locations. These sites are large, equipped with a table and a barbecue. There is however only a few shady locations. The prices are quite high ($ 26 in 2014). The toilets are new and very clean (pay showers). There is a small supermarket at the office, to buy cold drinks or ice for the coolers.

•  Lone Rock : campsite located on Lake Powell. No location defines, no table or pit fire. Dry toilets available. $ 14 per night in 2017. Emergency solution when the Wahweap Campground is full and the hotels are overpriced.

• Page - Rodeway Inn : located in the center of Page. Hotel consistent with what you would expect from these chains. Breakfast included. Very high price but it is "normal" we are in Page ($ 220 per room for 4 people in September 2017).
