The Page Rim Trail is a trail constructed and maintained by the City of Page, Deptartment of Parks and Recreation, that circumnavigates Manson Mesa. This winding, 8 mile hike takes in views of the City of Page, the Vermillion Cliffs, the Echo Cliffs, the Kaibab Plateau, Bryce Canyon, Grand Staircase-Escalante N.M., Lake Powell, the Kaparowitz Plateau, Navajo Mountain, LeChee' Rock, and the surrounding desert environment. While the total length of the trail is aproximately eight miles, the trail itself intersects several roads within Page, making shorter segments possible. It is important to remember this is an urban-trail type system, so on any given day, you are likely to run into hikers, joggers, bikers, kids, tourists,etc.

The best views out onto the "wilds" out beyond Page come at the south and east sections of the trail, where the trail looks out across the Navajo Reservation and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The north and west sides of the trail are pretty as well, but are closer in to the city and cross the major roads in town, making them the more popular sections of the trail.

Directions from Tahoma House: Go north on Westview Dr. Turn left on 17th Ave. Turn right on Navajo Dr and follow to the end, where it turns into a dirt track. There are signs for the trail and parking - don't park at Lakeview Elementary School. See map for promixity to Tahoma House

Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land east of PageArizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and Lower Antelope Canyon or The Corkscrew.

Upper Antelope Canyon is called Tsé bighánílíní, "the place where water runs through rocks" by the Navajo. It is the most frequently visited by tourists for two reasons. First, its entrance and entire length are at ground level, requiring no climbing. Second, beams (shafts of direct sunlight radiating down from openings in the top of the canyon) are much more common in Upper than in Lower.

Lower Antelope Canyon, called Hazdistazí, or "spiral rock arches" by the Navajo, is located a few kilometers away. Even following the installation of stairways, it is a more difficult hike than Upper Antelope - it is longer, narrower in spots, and even footing is not available in all areas. At the end, the climb out requires several flights of stairs.
