Encompassing over 1,25 million acres around Utah's Lake Powell, the vast Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is known for its incredible views, interesting geological features and exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation. Set against rugged red rock canyons and the placid blue waters of Lake Powell, this vast expanse of wilderness offers an array of adventurous activities such as wakeboarding, waterskiing, sea kayaking, houseboating, fishing and taking boat tours. Other not-to-be-missed attractions in the region include the graceful and awe-inspiring Rainbow Bridge National Monument, the largest natural bridge in the world; a variety of archaeological sites including one of the most complete sections of Mesozoic paleolithic finds in the world; and the breathtaking vistas of seemingly endless golden cliffs from the popular Grandview Point.
