One of the best trips we've taken was to paddle board Antelope Canyon at Lake Powell.
We started off the adventure by going to the dam:
Looked around the dam and the museum they have there for a while and then went back into Page to get some paddleboards. I pretty much have wanted to paddleboard at Lake Powell since Pinterest combined with disinterested high school teachers were a thing, so believe me I planned this all out. I thought Lake Powell Paddleboards seemed like a good idea after looking it up, and it was. It was about $120 for the both of us all day. They told us where to go and what to expect, and we were off to the Antelope Point Marina.
It's important to remember that karma is a real thing, so when it's your first time paddleboarding and you're keeping your balance standing up and haven't fallen in yet, even if you're impressing yourself, don't brag to your boyfriend about it. Stay humble. Wait until you have a blog and can tell everyone online. ( I didn't fall in my first time paddleboarding!)
And look at this canyon! I didn't realize how justified the Lake Powell hype is until I went there.
The whole paddleboarding trip was about three and a half hours. After we returned the paddleboards, the owners told us how to get to Horseshoe Bend. It's surprisingly accessible, just a short walk down from the parking lot that's right in Page.
IT WAS SO COOL. All the red rock. The massive, sheer cliff faces. The river. The size of the bend. Ahh my heart. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. We went home so satisfied with the day.
