Good coffee, cold beer, red rocks, and a few local favorites.
A few of our favorites, from the team at The Wesley: where to eat in town, easy things to do, and the smaller hikes close by. Most a short walk, a few a quick drive.
Where to Eat and Drink
Local favorites on Navajo Drive - most are a five minute walk.
Best Drinks
Grand Canyon Brewery & Distillery
Used to be a fire station. Now it's twenty taps of Grand Canyon beer, craft cocktails from their distillery spirits, and roll-up garage doors for the Page weather. Open until 9pm on weekends.
714 N Navajo Dr
Best Fried Chicken
BirdHouse
Built in what used to be a Sonic. Now it's the fried chicken you'll think about on the drive home. Across the street from Grand Canyon Brewery. The kind of place you go after a long hike when you want satisfying without fussy.
707 N Navajo Dr
Best Lunch
Rustic Thistle
Southern food in Page, AZ. Chef Deveron Grant brought twenty years of Charleston cooking with him. Shrimp and grits, biscuits and gravy, Navajo tacos. Generous portions. Locals love it.
626 N Navajo Dr
Best Dinner
Dam Bar & Grille
A warehouse-size space designed to look like the inside of Glen Canyon Dam. Cement walls, hard hats, a 30-foot etched glass wall, and a scaled-down dam replica. Steaks, seafood, pasta, and they'll tell you it's the coldest beer in town. Since 1996.
644 N Navajo Dr (Dam Plaza)
Best Coffee
Stay Grounded
Best coffee in Page is in a truck. Owned and run by Dine sisters. Open daily in summer peak season. Quick Instagram check before you walk over confirms today's hours.
807 Coppermine Rd
Best Sunset Dinner
Rainbow Room at Lake Powell Resort
Book a table 30 to 45 minutes before sunset. Order. Take your drink outside. Watch the light fall on the lake. Come back in for dinner behind the floor-to-ceiling windows. Nobody told you this. We're telling you now.
100 Lakeshore Dr (Wahweap Marina)
Closed November through end of April.
Things to Do Nearby
Small-town stops worth an hour - history, souvenirs, and the dam.
Discover History
Glen Canyon Conservancy
Two doors down from us. A 20-foot hand-carved 3D map of the entire region, and someone will walk you through it for free. The Powell Museum artifacts came home to their building when the old museum closed.
12 N Lake Powell Blvd
Must Visit
Glen Canyon Dam Visitor Center
The hotel is named after John Wesley Powell. His story lives two miles away. Free 20-minute films on rotation, and the engineering that built Lake Powell. Worth the drive even on a hot afternoon.
US-89 at Glen Canyon Dam
Best for Families
Lake Powell Barnyard
Mini golf in red rock theme with water features (balls float, you're fine), outdoor patio with fire pits, comfort food, and room for back-of-the-car energy. Closed Mondays.
643 Haul Rd
Easy Walks and Views
Big scenery without a big hike. A few are a short drive if you have wheels - the rest start from town.
Easiest Walk
The Page Rim Trail
Ten miles around the entire town along the mesa rim. You don't have to walk all of it. Pick a short segment and you're at a Lake Powell view in five minutes.
Multiple trailheads
Quick Look
Glen Canyon Dam Overlook
A short flight of stone steps down to a ledge over the Colorado. The dam on one side, the canyon walls on the other. Five minutes of walking for a view people drive hours to find.
Scenic View Rd, off US-89
Hidden Oasis
Hanging Garden Trail
A one mile round trip across bare rock to a wall of green ferns hiding in the desert. Flat, easy, and strange in the best way. Follow the rock piles. No shade, so carry water.
Off US-89 near Glen Canyon Dam
The Classic
Horseshoe Bend Trail
The view on every postcard in town. A 1.5 mile round trip on a wide, graded path to the rim. Go at sunrise to beat the heat and the buses. Carry water. Parking has a fee.
US-89 south of town
Local Secret
Grand View Overlook Park
An overlook hiding in a residential neighborhood. Walk past the houses, and Lake Powell opens up in front of you. Antelope Point Marina one direction, Wahweap the other. Almost never crowded. Bring a sandwich.
20th Ave & Grandview St
Best Sunset
Wahweap Overlook
A sunset without the Horseshoe Bend crowd. Ten minutes from downtown, free, no park entry fee, picnic pavilion. Arguably the better view.
