Instead of taking I-40 we took a scenic route to Page. Highway 264 out of Gallup, NM goes through Hopi Indian territory. The road was a bit rough and the scenery was okay in places, but I do not suggest this route due to the road condition, and the scenery was not that great. There were a few canyons we drove by that “wowed” us a bit, just not enough to justify the long rough road.
We got into Page about 5:30 last night hoping to see RV Parks advertised along the way. Only one advertisement for Lake Powell RV Resort, sounded expensive, but after not seeing anything else we called them. No availability. They gave us the name of another park called Page Lake Powell campground. They did have a spot so we hurried over. This is a nice park (not on the lake like their name indicates) but the RV sites are not level. We had to unhitch the truck in order to level up, bummer! Lot of trouble for one night. They take Good Sam & AARP, we got the site for $20 FHU. We needed electric due to the hot weather in order to run the AC. It seems Page only has these 2 rv parks. We hope to boondock once we get up to Bryce Canyon in cooler temps.
Since we unhooked the truck we decided to go out to eat. There’s a family owned Mexican restaurant 1 mile from our Park. It was delicious, some of the best Mexican food we’ve had. And boy were they busy. We got back to the camper & could see the July 4th fireworks from our camp site, it was very pretty. Page is a very pretty, clean town. Seems like a nice place to live (if it didn’t get so blasted hot). We see a lot of boats in town, the lake must be a good recreation lake.
Headed to Bryce Canyon today. The weather is predicting thunderstorms in Page as well as Bryce Canyon. Let’s hope it’s not a total wash.
