Page, Arizona feels far from boring — a compact gateway town on Lake Powell with easy access to Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Glen Canyon boating, so multi‑week assignments translate into daily hikes, guided slot‑canyon tours, water recreation and a small but lively local dining scene rather than empty downtime.
For weekend variety and extra services, Kanab, UT (about 74 miles) is a friendly adventure hub and true base‑camp for Zion/Bryce day trips, and Tuba City is roughly the same distance if you need another regional center for supplies or errands.
