Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is een uitgestrekt gebied van rode rotskloven en het uitgestrekte Lake Powell, dat is ontstaan door de Glen Canyon Dam. Reizigers komen hier om het unieke landschap te ervaren, met opvallende contrasten tussen het blauwe water van het meer en het omliggende woestijnlandschap.

Over Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Bezoekers doen vaak activiteiten zoals varen, vissen en wandelen. Het gebied herbergt ook geologische wonderen zoals het Rainbow Bridge National Monument en Reflection Canyon. Maar door de afgelegen locatie kunnen voorzieningen beperkt zijn, dus het is belangrijk om van tevoren te plannen.

Dingen om te weten

Toegangsprijzen zijn vereist voor toegang tot het park.
