Page UTV Ride-Along to Lake Powell Overlook
Strap into the passenger seat and let a local guide thread a UTV across slickrock and sandy washes to a dramatic overlook of Lake Powell. This two-hour ride condenses the geology and history of Glen Canyon into a sequence of panoramic photo stops and desert thrills.
The Experience
Before You Go
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Wide-brim hat under your helmet, high-SPF sunscreen, and UV-blocking sunglasses will keep you comfortable on exposed ridgelines.
Secure cameras and phones
Bring a wrist or chest strap — the ride can jostle equipment and a dropped phone on slickrock is expensive to retrieve.
Motion-sickness prep
If you get queasy, sit inboard toward the vehicle center, keep your eyes on the horizon, and take ginger or motion-sickness meds beforehand.
Respect tribal rules and routes
Stay with the group and follow your guide to avoid restricted sites and to minimize erosion from off-route driving.

Conservation Note
Water-level changes and off-route driving affect fragile soils and cultural sites—stay on designated trails, pack out waste, and follow tribal guidelines to limit impact.
Glen Canyon was dramatically altered by the construction of Glen Canyon Dam in the 1960s, creating Lake Powell and reshaping local landscapes and communities.
