1) Horseshoe Bend

It was a decent walk (.7 miles) from the parking lot to the Horseshoe bent. There were quite a few people but not crowded. The view was amazing and I know the pictures doesn't do justices . The temperature was soaring high close to 100F

Entry to the park is $10 per vehicle

We were already tired from this short trip. might be due to the heat

2) Glen Canyon Dam overlook

Its a small walk climbing down stairs to reach the Dam overlook. Its a small area but worth the view.

3) Wahweap (Glen Canyon National Park)

Glen Canyon National Park is huge and Wahweap / Lake Powell is a amazing place to drive through and look at all the activities down that place.
