My ambivalence about National Recreation Areas continues as we crossed into the Glen Canyon at Page, Arizona. There we wee able to take a short but somewhat treacherous hike to an overlook of the river and the dam. The VC was closed for renovations but we did stop in the lot for a closer look at the dam. It too was closed to all tours. The water level in the lake is very low. We drove a few miles of a byway with two overlooks. Because of the low water the path of the river was easy to follow. Pretty view points but that is all we did here. We hoped to take a boat to the Rainbow Bridge a National Park unit but the boats cannot get you near it so all trips are canceled. There is a 12 mile hike possible over Navajo land you can take, Cindy was all for the overnight in the desert but I like the comfort of the trailer. First Park of the trip we missed but it won’t be the last one.
