The beautiful sunset appeared (that’s them in the hot tub!) and we realized that the next day we HAD to catch Horseshoe bend at sunset.
Our first night we arrived right before sunset, and the kids and Chad popped into the hotel hot tub while I caught a little downtime. This time of year there happened to have an incredible number of tourists so definitely plan and reserve your hotel in advance. When you arrive in Page, you’ll find a slew of hotels….nothing fancy, we are talking Holiday Inn Express and Best Western were the fanciest. Believe it or not, this single day brought us to these incredible sites at a very leisurely pace (aside from racing to catch the sunset!). A-ha! Road trip opportunity…the kids had no school the next week anyway, so why not stay and explore?Įverything we did in Page, Arizona can be done in a single day. However, when paired with other amazing places you can travel from there (Grand Canyon, Sedona, Utah, etc.) suddenly the opportunity struck when we knew we’d be in Phoenix for the weekend before Thanksgiving. This town is about 9.5 hours from San Diego, which seemed like a long way to travel for a 1 day experience. In late November, our Arizona road trip took us to the small and relatively unknown town of Page, Arizona, home of one of my travel bucket list items, Antelope Canyon.
