Off-road sunset ride · Page, Arizona

Horseshoe Bend sunset UTV ride

Three hours off-road on the desert near Page, timed for sunset in the Horseshoe Bend area. It is outside Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, and the reason to pick it is the evening slot: it fills the hours after a day trip without clashing with it.

Horseshoe Bend Sunset UTV Adventure

About this experience

Horseshoe Bend is the famous loop of the Colorado River just south of Page, and the listing puts this off-road ride in that area at sunset. It is not in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. Page is 36 miles east of the Wire Pass trailhead turn-off on US-89, per the BLM, and the BLM puts the condor viewing site about 1 hour 15 minutes from Page.

Three hours is a comfortable evening, and the timing is the smart part. You can do Lower Antelope Canyon or the lake in the morning and still fit this in before dinner. The ride starts from $144 in 2026.

Don't confuse it with the overlook walk. The National Park Service describes the Horseshoe Bend overlook as a 1.5-mile round trip on a hardened path, with a 1,000-foot drop at the rim, railings only at the platform, and parking run by the City of Page. If all you want is that view, you can walk it yourself.

Who it suits

Book it if

  • You like a bit of speed and dust
  • You want a sunset without fighting for a spot at the overlook rail
  • You're in Page for a night between White Pocket and the Grand Canyon

Skip it if

  • You only want the classic overlook photo: the walk is short and free of tour costs
  • You have back or neck problems that rough tracks would aggravate

Tips before you book

  • Bring sunglasses and a buff or scarf for the dust.
  • Pack a warm layer. Desert evenings cool fast after sunset.
  • Drones are banned at Horseshoe Bend unless the superintendent approves in writing, per the NPS.
  • Mind the time zone if you come from Kanab: Utah observes daylight saving time, Page doesn't.
