Rainbow Bridge By Air |
|
If you didn't bring your own plane not to worry.
Air Tours are available in the terminal of the Page Airport.
Classic Aviation at Page Airport was very helpful in marking my
map and giving me a GPS location for Rainbow Bridge. They also gave
me the Air Tours frequency to listen for other traffic. We departed
Page Airport and climbed to 2000' agl and had a wonderful view of
the lake. High canyon walls block the view of the bridge and it's
best seen from the east looking west.
Look at my video for more
information.

Rainbow Bridge
by Water |
|
We bought tickets though the Lake Powell
Resort and our boat departed from the Wahweap Marina which is about
10 miles from Page. The Wahweap Marina is in a National Park Fee
area and the boat ride was about $135 per person including the
Navajo Nation Fees. It's a three hour ride each way, the boat
'Canyon Odyssey' took us to Rainbow Bridge with a cruise speed of 18
knots slowing only when our wake was an issue. After touring the
Rainbow Bridge we returned to box lunches which were included in the
ticket price. Plan on spending the day
on this adventure! The ride across Lake Powell is nothing short of
gorgeous and it's well worth the money.
