I don’t think there are enough people who have heard of Page, Arizona. You’re probably wondering why I am even writing about it. But Page is the perfect jumping off point for an epic Arizona (and Utah) dessert road trip, including the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, the Wave (Utah) and Horseshoe Bend.
