| no partners | | A quick tourist-friendly hike up near Page and Lake Powell - knowing we had a long-ish day of driving back down to the valley, but wanting to get some activity in for the day, we opted to hit up this scenic loop near Wahweap Marina.
We arrived to find a decent number of vehicles in the parking area already (and a few folks camped over in the adjacent Beehive campground). After gathering our things, we headed up over the slickrock to complete the trail (and a spur) in the counter clockwise direction. The trail is wide and easy to follow, outlined, for the most part, with a trail necklace of stones for nearly its entirety.
Views are beautiful, and there were plenty of opportunities to clamor around and explore some of the swirly sandstone features. We dawdled a bit, taking time to look behind us to check the views for photo ops as we went. As we got close to the end of the loop, we decided to take a detour along a spur trail to a viewpoint that provided a panoramic vista of the area. It was a nice way to close out the weekend before heading back south.
Other People: while we had long-ish sections of the trail to ourselves, I lost count of how many others we crossed paths with. |
