The beginning of the hike is fairly flat. It then goes down in the canyon. Progress is made in the sand, on one side or the other. Warning, do not go beyond the bridge on the west side and power lines on the East side. Beyond power lines a guided tour is mandatory.

Tip : follow the cairns to find the way down to the canyon and your way bach.

Photo tip : for a better light, it's better to come in early morjing or late afternoon.

Access : from Glen Canyon Dam, take US89 South. At mile marker 542 and just before the bridge on US89, the is a small parking on the left, indicating the entrance for Waterholes Canyon.

We completely missed Great Wall during our first visit of Waterholes Canyon in 2009. And yet it is in our opinion the best part of WaterHoles Canyon. The wall that undulates reminds the Wave. At sunset, the color are changing and become very orange. It's really beautiful. The hike, only 0,6 mile one way is really easy.

Access : from Glen Canyon Dam, take US89 South. At mile marker 542 and just before the bridge on US89, the is a small parking on the left, indicating the entrance for Waterholes Canyon. Cross the fence and walk along the north rim of the Canyon (never going down in the canyon) until you reach Great Walls.

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).
