Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 2.5 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Page instead of crossing town between them. Glen Canyon Dam is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Golliard's Park — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to families and families with kids who want a planned Page outing without improvising between stops.
