Nothing says “All American Road Trip” more than loading up an RV, hitting the road, and having an adventure. And that’s exactly what we did recently with the help from our friends at GO RVING™
In the spring of 2025, we rented an RV in Phoenix and drove up to Page, Arizona where we spent five days and four nights enjoying the Roam America Horseshoe Bend campground and exploring this incredible part of the Southwest.
The trip was an epic adventure, and in this episode, we’ll discuss our experience as newbie RVers, the activities we did in the area, and some of the camping recipes we enjoyed cooking at our site. All this and more, coming up next!
Activities we discuss in this episode include,
· Touring Cardiac Canyon (part of Antelope Canyon),
· A visit to the Navajo Bridges on Highway 89A,
· Kayaking the Colorado River from Petroglyph Point below Horseshoe Bend to Lees Ferry,
· Seeing petroglyphs at Petroglyph Point on the Colorado River,
· Hiking in Waterhole Canyon,
· Viewing the dam from the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook,
· Visiting the Carl Hayden Visitor Center at Glen Canyon Dam,
· Hiking the Beehive Trail, (also known as The Wave 2),
· Snaping our pic at the Shell Sand Cave,
· And a few more suggestions for activities on Lake Powel!
