Glen Canyon

Glen Canyon is one of the most popular vacation spots for Americans. In 1956, the construction of a dam began here, as a result of which Powell Lake was formed - the second largest reservoir in the United States.

The picturesque coastline of the lake is dotted with capes and cliffs, and sheer walls of red-orange sandstone rise above the surface of the water. All these formations are part of the once magnificent landscape - Glen Canyon with majestic arches, caves, gorges, hills that went under water.

The Glen Canyon recreation area stretches for hundreds of miles and covers an area of more than 4 thousand square kilometers. It offers vacationers boating, water skiing, water motorcycle, fishing, walking, cycling and car excursions.

Among the main attractions of the Glen Canyon Park, in addition to Lake Powell, the Rainbow Bridge, which is known as the world's largest natural bridge, is very popular. Beautiful scenery can be enjoyed by admiring the Orange Cliffs - it is a dry desert, the temperature difference in which ranges from +43 degrees to -29 degrees in winter.

In the town of Lee Ferry you can ride along the Colorado River by ferry, and along the Escalante River walk or by boat.
