Glen Canyon Dam The Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River.

The current was 5-6 mph and there was no need to do much besides enjoy and paddle gently. I swear the skies really were this blue.Īt the Dam, we disembarked from the boat and started to paddle our kayaks back down the river to Lee’s Ferry. Nowadays, many Grand Canyon rafting trips start here also. Lee’s Ferry used to be the place where settlers and gold prospectors could ferry across the river.

Lee’s Ferry Loading up our kayaks at Lee’s Ferry. We met a contractor who put our kayaks in his boat and whizzed us up a cold and breezy 15 miles on the Colorado River to the Glen Canyon Dam. After thoroughly investigating Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon, we started out fresh the next morning and drove with our double kayaks firmly attached to the top of our car to Lee’s Ferry, about a 50 minute drive from Page. We decided that the usual way of sightseeing by peeking down into it wasn’t for us and we would instead immerse ourselves by kayaking through Horseshoe Bend. Vacationing in Page isn’t complete without the obligatory Horseshoe Bend visit.
