Wildlife Page Az ~ Lake Powell

Chuckwalla Lizard

Chuckwalla lizards inhabit the shores of Lake Powell and the Page AZ region. These hardy desert lizards call the rocky shores near Lake Powell and the Page Arizona area home. In this video, we dive into the unique behaviors of these resilient reptiles, which thrive in the harsh conditions of the Desert Southwest. Chuckwallas use their rocky habitat for shelter and protection by squeezing into narrow crevices and blowing their balloon like bellies up in order to wedge themselves in the rocky crack to escape predators. Their latin name means “flat lizard” which is very appropriate. A fun fact about Chuckwallas is that their diet mainly consists of vegetation like leaves, flowers, and fruits. #Chuckwalla, #lakepowell , #lizard #canyoncountryoutdoors #pageaz #pagearizona #glencanyonnationalrecreationarea #glencanyon #reptiles

Car Canyon at Honey Draw

Hey everyone! In this video, we’re exploring a short hike in Page, Arizona, just a quarter mile behind the Maverik Gas Station and Walmart on Highway 89.

Car Canyon at Honey Draw Page Arizona


This hike takes you to a fascinating historical site—abandoned 1950s-era cars left behind after the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam and the workers’ exodus from Page. The remaining locals bulldozed the cars into Honey Draw to hide them from view.                                           
Honey Draw is about 3 miles up the canyon from Horseshoe Bend and just a few miles from Lake Powell. The trail is easy to navigate and follows the wash bottoms over soft sand and sandstone, making it an accessible hike for most.
As you wander among these old cars, it’s easy to imagine the bustling days when they were in use, the town thriving, and dam workers driving through town. It’s a nostalgic look back in time.
For those wanting to extend their adventure, you can continue another half mile along the edge of Honey Draw to the rim of Glen Canyon. There, you’ll be treated to stunning views of the confluence of Honey Draw and the Colorado River.

Sand Cove Cavern in Page Arizona

Located within the city limits of Page, Arizona, this stunning amphitheater has recently gained immense popularity among outdoor enthusiasts. With its short, easy, and convenient hike, it’s the perfect addition to your itinerary when exploring the heart of the Grand Circle.

As I set out to add this hike to my website, I realized it didn’t have an official name. Initially, I considered just naming it myself and publishing the page. However, I thought it would be much more engaging to involve the locals in the decision-making process.

What followed was a fun campaign to name this beautiful cave, and I’ve documented the journey in a series of videos. If you’d like to join in the conversation and see how the final name came to be, be sure to follow Canyon Country Outdoors on Facebook for updates and comments from the community!

The Spire of Dream

This new video was shot solo and the music is the first verse of a song I wrote and recorded, called Life is Fine. This rock formation lives in the city limits of Page Arizona at the intersection of Highway 89 and 98. I love to get some mental and physical exercise by running to the top and spending some time thinking while I take in some of the most beautiful scenery nature can produce.

A Raven Visit on the Rim Trail

SOUND ON! I was doing some rock climbing near the Monkey Slide – https://canyoncountryoutdoors.com/monkey-slide-vermillion-view/ on the Rim Trail in Page Arizona and this friendly raven came to me and had a long conversation. I have never seen this type of behavior in my life. I have seen them approach in a Safeway Parking lot or something but they are always very cautious and timid and will bail if you even hint at moving towards them. This beautiful bird had no fear and made it obvious that he wanted to chat. I so deeply wish that I knew what he was trying to tell me. Ravens hold a special place in my heart, so this encounter was spiritual for me.
