Start at the Bullfrog Visitor Center and learn some geology and natural history of the area. See Puebloan and pioneer artifacts. Go from Bullfrog to Carl Hayden Visitor Center at Glen Canyon Dam and go on a tour of the dam and check out a relief map of the area. Now that you can appreciate how huge the recreational area is, visit the Navajo Bridge Interpretive Center and take a walk across the historic Navajo Bridge. Look around for a California condor as that's the place to see one.
Step 2Stay at Lees Ferry Campground at one of 54 sites. Although not set up for RVs, there are bathrooms and potable water. Launch your boat about 2 miles away. For primitive camping, try Lone Rock Beach Primitive Camping on a sandy beach or in dunes. Stanton Creek, Hite, Dirty Devil and Farley camping areas also offer primitive camping areas. Developed camping with hookups is available at Wahweap Developed Camping, Bullfrog and Halls Crossing.
Step 3Lees Ferry is the only place in Glen Canyon where visitors can drive to the Colorado River right up to the first "rapid" in the Grand Canyon. See Lees Ferry Historic Site just upstream from the Lees Ferry Launch Ramp. Different ferryboats and pioneers, miners, Indians and tourists crossed here from 1872 until 1928.
Step 4The Orange Cliffs portion of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, bordered by Canyonlands National Park, is one of the most scenic areas of the Colorado Plateau region. This is desert, so treat it as such. Be careful of hot temperatures and bring water. Tell a friend where you are and how long you will be gone.
Step 5Rent a boat from the park and boat on the deep turquoise waters of Lake Powell and fish. Since the Glen Canyon dam has been built, introduced species such as bass and crappie as well as walleye, bluegill and catfish thrive.
Step 6Drive the Burr Trail into some of Utah's most beautiful country. See the Henry Mountains, the Waterpocket Fold, red Circle Cliffs, and Long Canyon. The Burr Trail connects Bullfrog and Boulder, Utah, passes through the painted rock country of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Capitol Reef National Park and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument land. Drive another road. The Hole-in-the-Rock road ends at the dropoff into Lake Powell and runs from Escalante, Utah to the Hole-in-the-Rock on the western shore of Lake Powell |
