The engine rumbles to life and the high desert answers: wind lifting a thin veil of red dust, slickrock glowing under a wide blue sky, the Colorado River somewhere below, daring you to look over its shoulder. On the Colorado River Overlook UTV Tour from Page, Arizona, a guide straps you into a two-seat off‑road machine and leads a short convoy across sandy washes and sunbaked trails toward a private overlook upstream of Horseshoe Bend. For two hours the landscape becomes kinetic — geology in motion and an invitation to move through it.

Hydrate and sun‑protect
Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a refillable water bottle; bottled water is provided but you’ll want extra for the day.

Sturdy footwear with good tread helps on rocky stops and when climbing short overlooks off the UTV.
