Steve’s take
The Colorado River makes a 270-degree hairpin turn 1,000 feet below the rim of Glen Canyon — a postcard view that has been on every Instagram travel feed since 2014. A 0.75-mile round-trip walk from the parking lot ($10/car). Sunset is the photo. No railings until the very edge of the overlook — keep kids close. 4 mi south of Page AZ on US-89, the same town as Antelope Canyon. Pair them in one day.
