Itinerary tips
- 1Allow 4 to 5 hours for the full round trip, which includes a 2-mile paddle each way and time for hiking the interior slot canyon.
- 2Launch from the public boat ramp at Antelope Point Marina and ensure you have a valid Glen Canyon National Recreation Area pass.
- 3Pack a dry bag for your camera and footwear suitable for walking on sandy, muddy terrain once you beach the kayaks.
- 4Check the wind forecast before departing, as strong afternoon gusts can make the return paddle across the open channel strenuous.
- 5Rent equipment in advance from local outfitters in Page or at the marina to ensure availability during peak travel periods.
- 6Stay to the right of the canyon channel to avoid the wake and traffic from motorized vessels sharing the initial stretch of water.
