Glen Canyon Dam Overlook is an easy down-and-back hike to a viewpoint along the rim of Glen Canyon, in Page, Arizona. It typically takes visitors about 20 minutes to get down to the overlook, view the river, and then hike back. Unlike the dam and its massive complex, the overlook was a simpler project of just adding in a road, parking lot, and some stairs along the sandstone trail. Visitors will enjoy magnificent views over the Colorado River, the surrounding Red Rock desert, and of the dam itself. This is a simple, beautiful, and easy on the wallet activity for visitors to enjoy in the Page area.
