The Experience
Our pilot’s voice crackled in my headset just as the rotors picked up speed, and suddenly we were lifting off over Page. I caught a glimpse of the red dust swirling below before the ground dropped away. The first thing that hit me was how blue Lake Powell looked from above—almost unreal, with sunlight bouncing off the water and tiny boats leaving white trails behind them.
We curved along the edge of Glen Canyon Dam, its concrete wall looking almost delicate from this height. Our guide pointed out narrow slot canyons snaking into the lake, places you’d never spot from the road. The wraparound windows made it feel like there was nothing between us and those wild shapes below. I snapped photo after photo, but honestly, just watching the Colorado River twist into that perfect horseshoe shape was something else.
At Horseshoe Bend itself, everyone went quiet for a second—except for one kid who gasped loud enough to make us all laugh. The river glowed green far below, framed by steep orange cliffs. Our pilot circled so both sides could get a good look, and I noticed how the late morning sun painted shadows across the rocks in ways you’d never see on foot.
