Two years ago when I was in Page, AZ, I hiked a little bit of Waterholes Canyon, but the ladders were not in the best shape and I had to turn around early.
This year, the canyon is accessible only by going on a tour. We were taken in a van back to the beginning of the hike. It is a 2-mile 1-way trek down 2 canyons.
The ladders have all been updated.
After going through the first canyon, there is a walk through the sand to the 2nd canyon.
The canyon walls gradually rise.
We walked by some beautiful rock formations and yucca flowers.
The canyon got narrower -
And narrower! Hold your breath!
Wow!
After awhile, it began to open up again -
And we arrived back at our cars, after climbing up this long staircase.
Beautiful hike through red rock country.
