Before returning the area we want to explore two more areas around Page, one named by us “The Beehives” is little known and visited while the second one, the Colorado Horseshoe Bend. is well known and quite visited. First we start towards “The Beehives” just across the dam from Page and the first public dirt road on the left.
We leave the car on the dirt road and start exploring and almost immediately discover interesting hoodoos and rock formations. It is a surprisingly beautiful area given how unknown it is.
The more we explore the more interesting the area becomes. You can climb on some hoodoos and in other places you can discover hidden valleys, tortuous stone formations and mushroom like rocks.
We find a couple caches and walk among the hoodoos admiring the formations and enjoying the beautiful views, it is really a special area.
Before we return to the car we decide to detour to another rocky area and it is also quite interesting even though the stones are less colorful. Instead it has more hidden waterholes and you can walk on the crest between them for great views. After exploring for some time we return to the car and drive towards the Horseshoe Bend Overlook.
