Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (NPS) Review

So much to explore all around Lake Powell. Visit horseshoe bend, to Lone Rock, to Rainbow Bridge and more. Breath taking views all around. Lake caution driving off road, high clearance vehicles likely required. Lake lots of water especially in the summer.tou could spend days here and not see everything.

This area is beyond words. It's a step back in time. It's nice to go somewhere in this country and see a lake not littered with houses. Granted, the lake is man-made and undoubtedly some amazing things are underwater. Remember to respect the area, clean up after yourself, and enjoy what a great area this is.

Did the Glenn Canyon Dam your.. fascinating. Well worth the time

If you have the Annual Pass, the car ride is not bad. If not ... not worth paying. Long Rock Beach is good to take a dip and cool off.

Nice place to visit. Camped at Lone Rock on the beach early April '19, in our Extreme RV and Expedition built Tacoma TRD Off Road. Thunder showers in the area kicked up nice sand storm. My fault for opening 2 awnings and flying 2 flags . Deep sand in places so be careful. Drive at own risk! Had to winch out Dimitry with his Chevy truck and Joey camper. Lucky for him I have a big winch and MaxTrax. Lookup M&M Overland Adventures on YouTube for more beautiful places to see.

Very helpful rangers who will give you all sorts of ideas and precautions on hiking trails. Come by before you set out on your adventures. Also lots of information on how Dams work. Great views of the dam itself as well.

We not only saw the Horse Shoe bend but also a Double Rainbow at this place!

Magnificent even if it is not clear which is the best place to admire the place

Awesome Place need more than a day to explore we went to Rainbow Bridge it was beautiful thanks Jason

Damn shame this place was flooded for Lake Powell. The area around the lake is far prettier than what I have seen of the Grand Canyon. They are much different places

Difficult way in the heat, but worth it - in the morning with sun from behind !!!

Nice boat-tour through narrow parts of the canyon (high walls on both side of the boat).

The info about the Glen canyon through the sound-system wasn't really loud. Hard to hear.

Water/thee/lemonade freely available on board; Only the boat tour itself is far from free...

Kayaking-with-friends had a blast we also camped at Weaweap excellent facilities we'll many more times thanks for the hospitality

I try to stop here about every time that I pass by. It s so cool.

Very Hot the end of October. If you come in an RV parking is way up a couple of steep hills. You then must walk down to be able to go into the Hoover dam. If you take a guided bus tour , I noticed they park pretty close. There was no way we could do all that walking, much less in over 100 deg temperature!

A surreal experience (I kept imagining being in an episode of "The Walking Dead", with the hoards of people gracelessly ambling to an uncertain destination). Bring some kind of tripod for your photo apparatus. I wish we had binoculars. Take a thousand pictures and just be ready to delete 980 afterward.

Beautiful hidden gem. Great park for motorcycle touring.

At Glen Canyon, you can make a good stop. The brilliant blue lake is very inviting and looks especially beautiful in contrast to the red rocks.

Water level has recovered a little but is still every low.

Very nice place to visit and learn about the second largest dam after hoover dam

Beautiful landscape preserved. This is only a 15 minute journey, So if you're passing through, it's worth stopping. During flood season this is magnificent, but in the dry season you see all of the algae and aquamarine colors. TAKE WATER, people regularly collapse from the intense heat here. The views are spectacular.

Awesome views, some okay fishing, & a great time for outdoor weather (June).

Beautiful place, I will visit again, If you enjoy taking photos and making lasting memories this is definitely a place to go

Nice ride through the Antelope canyon. Not much else to do unless you are interested in dams

This is the administrative building for the national park. Not sure why they put it on the main Street going through town with lots of tourist tradfic driving by. Worse yet, there is a very large sign that leads you to believe there is a visitor center inside. Employees are sick and tired of the public stopping by and let you know it when you enter. Disappointing experience here to be sure, keep driving!

Most amazing place in America! Grab a boat, camp in a little spot away from everyone, build a fire and enjoy life.

The sun sets and sun rises most of all lake time o yeah

Loved this place. A must for all Grand Canyon enthusiast.

Awesome place to visit. Be sure and take a boat ride below.

Beautiful and safely enforced for pedestrians to enjoy.

Campground was well maintained and clean. Flushing toilet and out-door sink to wash dishes is a plus. Shade available at many sites. Very nice.

It's a fun place it is what you make it. It depends on what you're camping in how you like to camp. They do have clean restrooms and fishing off the dock can be fun. The boat ramp is nice.

So fun! The dam had great exhibits and views, and the tour was fun! My daughter "adopted" a bat. The next day we rented a boat and saw the dam from the water. Great vacation!

This is a natural wonder that everyone should see. It is awe- inspiring
