The World's Top 100 Wonders in 2018

"Just a short hike from Route 89 near Page, Arizona is one of America’s great natural wonders. In a spectacularly dramatic landscape, the area provides great hiking among the red rocks looking over the river. Swirling around a 1,000-foot-high pedestal, the Colorado River bends in a smooth circle around a massive, craggy rock formation before flowing back through the Southwest. Although the landscape is wonderfully natural, visitors should tread with caution. There are no rails keeping you from falling down the steep, rocky cliffs." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

Wahweap Overlook. The spot where Lake Powell stretches out like a giant bathtub someone forgot to refill since the early 2000s, yet still manages to look stupidly gorgeous. You roll up the hill and boom. The lake hits you with that perfect blue pretending everything is fine, while the surrounding rocks pose like they’re in some artsy magazine shoot. Reds and yellows everywhere, looking way too good for something that’s basically extremely fancy erosion. Then there’s the crow. This feathery little chaos merchant keeps doing dramatic loops around you like it’s guarding the overlook from unsuspecting tourists. It puffs itself up, makes weird throat noises and stares at you with the confidence of someone who definitely has pecked a sandwich out of a backpack before. The bird brings full villain energy and honestly steals part of the show. The whole place is simple. Drive up, step out, get hit with a wow and snap the inevitable photo. No gimmicks. No nonsense. Just pure scenery plus one crow auditioning for a role in your nightmares. Solid stop. Totally worth it.

Beautiful views! We stopped here to see some last sights before we left. Very peaceful. They have benches to sit on...i liked to sit on the ground. If youre looking for something else to see, I highly recommend!

This is the perfect outlook just outside of Page, AZ. We went up in the afternoon to have a look but better yet we woke up in the middle of the night we went up again you see the stars and milky way. Our last morning we watched the sunrise from here. It's only a few miles away with a good road and plenty of parking. There's a gate at_highway but we found it open at all times a day and nothing posted regarding times it's open.

I had found out that a friend died a day before my visit here, and I cannot express the solitude and peace that I found on the overlook here. I sat here for quite some time and peace just washed over me. I cannot wait to go back and visit with a fresh new perspective. If you are in the area, go, take the time and breath in the scenery. It makes you wonder when overlooking such beauty the survival it took for many to cross these great lands.

Breathtaking place. Looking at outstanding views Breath almost blocked my throat and I had to call emergency medical services to get my breath back. Free parking , Free entrance. Open from sunrise to Sunset only. Don’t forget to visit WELCOME SIGNs OF ARIZONA AND UTAH after this as they just 2 miles from this place.

The peace that these views give you with the clouds rolling in the early morning 🌄 God's creation 🙏 Sat here for a while just taking in the majesty of it all. Much needed break on a solo trip through the canyons. Don't just drive through it; experience it! Sit still and find peace. TYG!

This was our last view point off the beaten path in Page just before Hayden Dam. Well worth pulling off!

Came here at night around 10pm. It was a great spot to take night-time shots of the sky. 4 stars for night, but I would say it's maybe a 2-3 stars during the day. There's nothing particularly special about it during the day.

another scenic spot if you're in the area! it's not even THAT cold yet but the wind was blowing like 25mph and that made it freezing lol beautiful to see the lake powell and canyons and sky connect so peaceful! can't imagine how much prettier it would be on a sunny day or a nice colorful sunset/ sunrise action

Breathtaking and picturesque views that are worth the price of admission. I inadvertently received the Gold Star and Veteran National Parks and Recreational Land lifetime Pass so, if you qualify it may behoove you to take up the offer, if you haven't already. Either way, The Park is worth a look!

A solid scenic point for a few pictures. We randomly found this on google maps and decided to stop by. There is a dirt parking area and this place has some decent views of the nearby water. People come and go every 10-20 minutes so finding a spot isn't too bad.

Beautiful views of Lake Powell and surrounding area. The low water level of the lake is alarming! To get to the scenic overlooks, you are entering Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and there is a park entry fee. It's a pleasant scenic drive, and there are several overlooks to stop at along the way.

It's just a little bit off the main road, a straight street steep up and once at the top you get the most amazing view!! Don't drive just by but make a quick stop!

This is located in the Glen Canyon National Recreational Area. It is free to go to which is awesome. You get an amazing 360 view of Lake Powell and the surrounding areas. It's definitely worth a visit. We did his right after we visited Antelope Canyon. Why four stars? When I went it was very very windy, so be prepared for a lot of wind if you decide to go. Also, I was told there would be picnic areas, but there really aren't. There is a place to sit, but my husband and I were hoping we could sit down and have lunch with actual tables. It would have been challenging with the wind but I wish they would have had something here. So instead we just sat in the car and ate, which was a lovely view as well.

Nice elevated look out point of Lake Powell and surrounding area. It is located off HWY 89 about 10 minutes north of Page, AZ. Plenty of parking spaces that can even accommodate RVs of all sizes.

Great place to make a pit stop and see the vast views of Lake Powell. So glad the owner of a fish & chips place (Nemo in Page) recommended that we stop here for some photos of the lake. Parking lot is pretty big too.
