- Arizona: Page, AZ | Grand Canyon South Rim | Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell | Page Arizona Travel Vlog
For state #14 we visited Arizona! We started our 2 day exploration of this beautiful state at The Grand Canyon South Rim before making our way up to Page where we got lost kayaking on Lake Powell, took a flightseeing tour with American Aviation over the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, had some delicious fried chicken at BirdHouse, visited Horseshoe bend, and took the most AMAZING off-road tour with Epic Adventure Rides through the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument!

== About Us ==
We’re Matt and Nat, a part time travel couple based out of Nashville, TN. Like everyone else, 2020 turned our world upside down. With more time on our hands than ever and multiple international trips canceled, we were left wondering what our 2021 travel plans would look like.
What we realized is that we wanted to see more of our own beautiful country, so we decided to set out on our biggest adventure yet… to see all 50 states in a year!
This channel is about all things travel & adventure. From vlogs, to tips & tricks, to crazy travel stories, the best foods, as well as product & service reviews, & soo much more.
So please make sure you SUBSCRIBE (it really helps us out) to follow along on this crazy adventure. :)

I’m so bummed about the kayak trip from hell that had you miss antelope. Reasons to come back! I need to go do that adventure tour. Also Matt....excellent drone footage while in the jeep!! Dang that was impressive. I love you guys!!!
Yeaaa... that was the worst!! Haha... But for sure a reason to come back now! Lol... The off road tour was so awesome! And that drone flying was some of the most difficult to date! So thank you for noticing! Lol -Matt
Wow. Way to comeback from defeat. I love the attitude guys. Awesome seeing you guys support each other. The next day definitely looked awesome. Such amazing views.
Aww thanks friend!!! Yea it was a rough one. Lol wish we could’ve filmed the whole thing but it was hard enough to paddle nonstop for 2 hours let alone film it. 😂🙈 You are the best! Thanks for making our day!! Page was absolutely beautiful!!
Nat should be a news anchor, her diction is so perfect
Awww thank you so much!! Can’t wait to tell my mom that! 😂 She always told me to enunciate! Lol Thanks for watching & being on this adventure with us! 🎉🥰
I do love a little cry sesh every once in awhile. I like to make sure the ducts are still working and all that.
Hahahaha it does help. Lol I just wish I could’ve filmed the sobbing while paddling. It was a very cute look. 😂😝
For anyone wanting to avoid vehicle traffic going up to the South Rim...Williams, AZ has a steam locomotive train that makes daily trips up to the South Rim and there are shuttle buses to take you around. For all of the time that I've been out west. I still haven't made it out to Horseshoe Bend or Sedona yet. Gotta change that soon. Thanks for another great video. BTW, just as I did with your original Vegas video...I'm having some In N Out while watching this one. I knew that would make your day. ;)
Oh wow! Really?!? Thanks for letting us know! We will absolutely try this out next time we are there! Sounds like a fantastic experience! Yea you absolutely should! Let us know when you go!! I bet you’ll have a fantastic time!! Oh heck yea!!! Hope it’s fantastic! Wishing we were eating In N Out! 😂😜👌🏻
We love our Arizona, we've been so bored since we moved away!
Love following your journey. Lake Powell is over the top gorgeous. Take the boat tour. Rent a Boat. Take your time and enjoy... I am still in MS headed back to IL tomorrow.
Thank you so much! 😊 Right?! Lake Powell and that entire area are just amazing! We definitely hope to visit again soon! And for sure want to rent a boat next time! Thanks for watching! Safe travels!
You guys are very good at not cutting eachother off when talking. Sounds weird but I’m bad at that
Haha we try… sometimes we do better than others. Lol 😂
The Grand Canyon is on the top of our bucket travel list in the USA.
It’s an amazing place for sure! It’s just breath taking every time we visit! Hope you get to visit sometime soon!😊 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the advice!
Thank you for this video it helped us out a lot on our trip to Page. Good news they fixed the squeeckie door lol
Oh man heights are not for me but I would dare to do heights to see the Grand Canyon
Haha... We aren’t too fond of them either, but the Grand Canyon is worth it!😊
Awesome video guys I saw lot of travel videos but you guys full of happiness
Aww thanks so much for watching & for your kind words!! 🥰 We are so grateful our happiness shows through! We truly love getting to share our adventures with you! 💗👍🏼
Amazing !
Aww thank you!! 🥰 We appreciate you watching & your kind words!!! 💗 It means more than you know! Hope you are doing amazing!!
Hi guys, very entertaining video, you had us laughing from the get go (one of the 10 worst things 😂), we can relate. The sound problems can be really challenging! 🙉 This video is jam pack with content. Good job, a lot of work! 👌 Love the bloopers at the end.
Anne & Eric
Hiii!! Thanks so much for watching! Haha... Definitely to 10 worst things! Haha... Yea, that 25+mph wind wasn’t helping out audio!🙉 Lol... Thank y’all so much for watching! 🥰🥰
Awesome video!!!!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍
Thank you 🤗
Hey yall! Again another awesome vlog. So sorry about the kayak issue 😥 , but you rebounded very well. I live in Arizona and love it, but crazy enough I have never been to the Grand Canyon go figure. Anyway love the vlog of course and cant wait to see state #15. Stay safe and God bless 🙏🙏👍
Thank you so much!!🥰🥰 The kayak trip had us in the gutter for a little bit, but thankfully it didn’t ruin the rest of trip! Wow! That is crazy that you’ve never been to The Grand Canyon! But it’s easy to take things for granted when they’re in your backyard... we do it with so many things here in Nashville... And we’ve never been to Smokey Mountains National Park!🙈 Thanks so much for watching!! God bless!🥰🥰
Horse bend is definitely on my bucket list
It's so beautiful! And so much bigger than we expected! Definitely worth a visit!
Love your adventures - and thank you for the post card!!!!!
Aww... Thanks so much for watching!🥰 You are so welcome!😊
Good video and yes God is good. I’ve been wanting to take road trip between Utah and Arizona. 30 years ago I was 15 I rode through Arizona going to Oakland Ca for a family reunion. On the way back went through Utah saw Salt Lake going back home to Oklahoma. Plan would be start in Salt Lake drive down to Phoenix. Phoenix is on my bucket list maybe see a couple Utah canyons. Go to Grand Canyon. Plus sorry about canoe trip. But ups is your friend remember to keep from getting lost can’t wait til next vlog.
Aww thank you so much for watching & for your comment! God is so good! 🙌🏼😜👍🏼 ahh sounds like a cool roadtrip! We would love to explore Phoenix! Thanks... it was our bad thinking the wind wasn’t bad & yes you are 10000 % right! GPS is our friend! Haha 😆 🙈thanks so much Robert!!
Unbelievably fantastic!! 🤩
Drone footage was AMAZING!!
Awww thank you so much for watching & for your kind words!!!💗🥰 we appreciate you!!!
Y’all were able to fit in so many fun things in 2 days 🙌🏼 looks like an amazing time!
We tried!! Lol... It was such an amazing time! Thanks for watching!🥰🥰
This was pound for pound probably the most fun of all your videos and I love Page, Arizona! I had so much fun there too and would love to come back and do some of the other things ya'll did there!
We love your videos, your information is very helpful! We are doing a 3 to 4 week Road Trip in July of 23 that starts in just a few days! Thanks for the info. We,are doing jet skis on Lake Powell for sure!
I really wanna go to the Horseshoe bend,The Grand Canyon is definitely Grand.
Horseshoe Bend was so much bigger than we expected! And yes... it is so grand!! Haha
I’m thinking you guys should change your name to “ dare devil adventures of Matt and Nat!!! Your video blogs are simply the BEST... that kayaking trip gave me heart palpitations!!! How scary!!! Everything else was SO KOOL 😎👍👏
State # 15 !!! I’m along for the EPIC ADVENTURE 😳😁💕
hahaha We just might! 😋 Aww Thank you so much for that!! yea it got our hearts going! It was a flight or fight moment. We fought as hard as we could!! It sure was an amazing trip!! Thanks for watching always!! 🙌😍
You are so right about America is a not only the best country but we are blessed with so much beauty we just need to step out and so it. My partner and I have been doing road trips in this country fir 32 years and I still get excited when I have one coming up. I am so happy that you both are doing this.. explore explore..as a matter of fact we did a weekend getaway in Arizona last week where we did Antelope Canyon, Monument National Park and Sedona..absolutely beautiful and lovely weather..😊
Love your vlog! Just came across your channel. We subscribed so we can keep up with all your adventures. We are headed out west this summer and looking forward to vlogging our adventures. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to watching more from your channel.
Aww… Thanks so much guys! That means so much! We hope y’all have such an amazing time! We just subbed, so we’ll be following along!😊
Great video guys, me and my wife love your videos 😊 x
Thanks so much 😊 We really appreciate you watching!
Yeah, need to go south west (left) from Antelope Point Marina, it eventually turns south before you see the canyon mouth. It usually gets choppy/windy in the afternoon. I have taken the path into Antelope on my paddle board and the way back could be “interesting”
Awesome video of the beautiful state of Arizona , there is waaaaay too much to explore here
You all best take the best modes of transportation, from the ebike in Zion to that crazy car in Vegas, and now this through the cliffs! (We’ll skip over the failed kayaking adventure)
Hahaha thank you!! I hadn’t thought about it but you are 💯 % correct! Lol 😂 Those sure were amazing ways to get around! Haha yea.... 🙈😂 let’s skip over that one. 😂😜 hahaha Thanks for watching Terica!!! 🎉
Thanks so much for the video guys! I'm going to Page in three weeks. All suggestions noted 😊 (kayaks crossed off the list lol)
Glad you enjoyed it! Hahaha… Yeaaaa… We didn’t sell the kayak experience!🤣🤣 Hope y’all have an amazing time!
OMGoodness, the kayak scene … I felt for you. But the not-so-great moments are all part of the adventure. This was an awesome video with some great tips for those of us who have to squeeze a lot into a little time.
Hahaha… At least we can laugh about it now. In the moment… not so much! 😭 Lol… Aw… thanks so much! We’re happy that you found it helpful!😊 Thanks for watching and safe travels!
Wish you had another day to stop in Sedona!!
SAME!!! 😭😭 Hopefully when we get to do this full time we’ll have more time to see places. We hear nothing but amazing things about Sedona! Have you been? & if so what do you recommend?
Don’t be fooled, Kayaking to Antelope Canyon is an all day affair. The earliest rental you can book is best. This will lessen the wind and will give you time to hike almost the entire length of the canyon. We left at 8:00, returned the kayaks at 5 and still didn’t make it to the end. Although we were early and willing to hike deep into the canyon so we were literally alone. It’s strenuous, bouldering and depending on the time of year you could be in waist deep muddy water but it is so worth it to dedicate an entire day to this trip. I am an AZ native and have done both guided tours and this was by far the best experience I have ever had on a trip! No time restrictions and no people. I do have to stress “leave no trace”. Don’t ruin my state 😬
You can tell I’m 40, because after watching this video I was hoping you took the following day off to rest lol 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Hey guys!! First off, happy birthday Matt!! As always another great video in another beautiful state. The Grand Canyon is so majestic and absolutely breathtaking. We were at the south rim in October and we’re just blown away. Sorry about the kayak trip on Lake Powell but it shows the reality of traveling and how not everything goes just like you planned it. And thanks for slipping in some more Utah. Looks like we need to hook up with Epic Adventures when we head down in June👍 We’re looking forward to state #15. You guys heading west perhaps 😉
Hey!!! Thank you so much!🥰 And Thank you for watching! Right?! I’ve been 3 times now and it never ceases to amaze! Yea, we were super bummed about the kayak trip, but you’re right... not everything goes as planned! And it’s never fun documenting failure!🙈 Lol... We just couldn’t get enough of Utah I guess! Haha... Y’all definitely need to hook up with Epic Adventures! And when you do, tell Chris we said hello!😊 -Matt
@@AdventuresofMattandNat you’re very welcome. The southwest part of the country is so beautiful and it’s hard to take all of it in at once. It takes several trips to even scratch the surface. And even tho it’s not fun to document failure, people/potential subscribers enjoy seeing the real side of travel/life because it’s something we can all relate to. And I will definitely let Chris know you guys said hello. I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of that thing!! Safe travels you guys!!
It truly is!!! You are 1000% right! There is so much to see & experience. We can’t wait to go back! Yea, that is so true! Didn’t think about it like that. We knew when we started this we wanted to show the good, the bad & the ugly. Lol So that’s nice to hear that perspective. Oh you are going to have an absolute amazing time!!! Thanks so much Joel!! We appreciate you!
@@AdventuresofMattandNat you’re so welcome!!
"One the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life". I think you are infected like me :-) Happy adventures! Cheers, Domenico.
Haha we absolutely are! Lol Happy Adventures Domenico! 🎉👍🏼
Sorry you missed us, Matt & Nat. Come see us next time you're in the area.
We absolutely will!!! 💗🎉👍🏼 We can’t wait to come back!!
I’m going to that area at the end of May. I was interested in that Epic Adventure tour until I saw how much they charge for a tour 😳 Nice video though!
Hope you have so much fun in the area! It's such a beautiful area!! Hope you have so much fun! Thanks for watching!
I think its cool that youve been to every state but most states have more to them then just the places you have visited. Like Arizona! Phoenix? Scottsdale? Sedona? If you ask people about arizona yes the grand canyon will be a big mention but Phoenix is the capital. Maybe doing a circle around to all the major cities in the US might be an idea for you guys
Absolutely! We are under no delusion that we experienced everything that each state has to offer. Heck... We didn't even experience 1% of what each state has to offer! LOL... But when you have non-remote jobs and you get to travel 3-5 days at a time... You fit in what you can! Plus, there were a LOT of logistics that factored into where we visited in each state since we were typically having to fit in 2-3 sates on every 3-5 day trip. All that to say... We definitely plan to continue exploring the US and seeing more of this amazing country that we get to call home! 😊 Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Oh my. I had a kayaking adventure planned on the Colorado river when I was in Las Vegas to go to the Emerald caves and they canceled it because of the wind . I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Did you ever make it to the cavern? I didn’t see any footage? We were in Zion last week and Bryce and it was absolutely stunning ... along with the northern rim of the Grand Canyon. We had a 12 day trip.
Oh I bet that would’ve been spectacular!!! Yea, I wish we would’ve known just how bad that wind was going to be. Lesson learned the hard way on that one! 😭🙈😂 no, the sun set before we could go! Oh wow! That sounds absolutely spectacular! We haven’t done Bryce or the northern rim of the Grand Canyon yet but it’s on our list!!! So happy y’all had a great 12 day trip! 🎉 Thanks for sharing & for watching! Means so much more than you know! 💗🥰
yall so funny 😁 😂 yall did great tho
Haha… Thanks for watching!!🥰🥰
You should have gone to Antelope Canyon!! It's so beautiful there!!
????????? 🤦🏼♀️ 😂😂😂 We tried during our kayaking failure. Hahaha
❤️
Wow another amazing video guys 👍👌 the of road buggys looked so much fun 👏 we were at the grand canyon 2 years ago its unbelievable!! Brought back some great memories thanks 👍👍 roll on next weeks video 🏴🇺🇲
Awww thanks so much friend! We appreciate you watching!! It was such a good time! Arizona has so much to see, we can’t wait to go back & explore more! Wow! Time flies right?? Well with CoVid it really flew! Isn’t the Grand Canyon breathtaking?! Aww so happy to hear that!! 💗👍🏼
@@AdventuresofMattandNat yep its amazing something everyone should see 👍🏴🇺🇲
Absolutely!!! Still looking for a Denny’s for ya! 😂😜👍🏼
@@AdventuresofMattandNat brilliant 👏 👌 thanks
When you give the glory to God. I have to sub. Also I grew up in Arizona and love it. Makes me want go back. Awesome channel!!!
Hiya Guys, just found your vids. Are you guys doing this on weekends, flying in Fri put Sunday? Or on the road continously
Hey Norman! So glad you found our channel! We travel during the week mostly (our work schedules have us working on weekends) but yes, we fly in and do short 3-4 day trips mostly. This particular trip we also visited Las Vegas and Zion National Park, so it was a Mon-Fri trip. Thanks so much for watching!
The kayaking 😂😂😂💀💀💀
Brooo! 🤣It was one of the things we were most excited for and it was a MISERABLE failure! 😭 Lol
Apparently, I say “correct” a lot. Which I think is great bc I am just validating what you are saying.😜
Hahahaha 😂 You are correct. 😂😜 lol I like that! Do you say this even when I’m not correct to make me feel like I’m correct? 😂😜😂
Correct.
Hi guys, the traffic to the Grand Canyon is nuts 🥜. I’m thinking COVID has had a huge influence on staycation travel? Everyone in the USA just want OUT!!! So glad you made it safely to shore after that exhausting, dangerous kayak trip. I absolutely agree...that was one of your worse decisions!!! Thank goodness the plane ✈️ and ATV tours made up for it!!! When you get to Oregon, a sand dunes adventure is a MUST!!! 😘
It was sooo crazy!!! Thank God we got there early! Lol 😂 I think you are 100% right everyone is traveling local! Oh wow, we are too!!! We had blisters from kayaking 2 hrs straight into the wind. It was scary! But thank God we are alive! Haha 😆 oh absolutely! The plane & Atvs made up for everything! Haha 😂 ohhhh that sounds fun!!
Amazing video!! That kayaking looks so scary! Glad y’all okay! Thanks for all the tips, I’m definitely taking notes
Thanks so much for watching & leaving a comment Alexa! We appreciate it more than you know!!! 🥰💗 yea it definitely was scary!! Haha 🙈 Glad we made it out of there alive. Lol absolutely!!! We hope you have a great time whenever you go! 🎉
we want to go explore some day
Absolutely worth it!!! 💗🎉👍🏼 It’s such a beautiful part of the country!!!
I'm glad you liked the Grand Canyon. We thought the first pull out to see the canyon was beautiful and and then after that it was all the same : (. Liked the Utah parks much better, but we feel really UNamerican for NOT liking it all that much. We went in May and we never saw ANY lines like that!! That's CRAZY!! The plane ride was great but I feel so bad to see how far down the water line is now from where it's been in years before. : ( The dune buggy rides (do they even call them that anymore?) looked like so much fun! I would do that in a heartbeat!
The Grand Canyon is really beautiful, but I can TOTALLY see your point. I think it will always be special to us because it was the first National Park I (Matt) ever visited and it's the first National Park that we visited together. The Utah parks definitely offer a little more variety in their views though! Although, I would love to go to the floor of the Grand Canyon someday for a different perspective! The plane ride was so beautiful, but yes, the lake levels are very sad! 😢 But if you ever get a chance to do the UTV tour (dune buggies), it is SO MUCH FUN! Safe travels!😊 -Matt
Loved the video! BTW, do we need to get a national park pass when we go to Grand Canyon? If yes, where can we get it?
Thank you!!🥰🥰 You do not need a National Park Pass for the Grand Canyon. You’ll just have to pay the one day entrance fee when you enter. But if you think that you’ll visit more that 2-3 National Parks in the next year, it’s worth getting the American The Beautiful Park Pass… it’s $80 and gets you into almost every National Park. You can purchase it on the National Park’s website… www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm
Hopefully this is helpful!
Thank you 💕
You’re welcome!😊
When you said top 10 worst things in your life I thought you meant being in Page haha.
Hahaha yea I can see how we made it seem that way! 😂😂 definitely not page as a whole! Just kayaking in 25 mph winds! 😂😭😝
Wish I could take a left out of the UK to anywhere abroad for a holiday, as we are not allowed to travel anywhere yet 😞
I can only imagine! We are loving our time getting to see so much of the US, but we are so definitely looking forward to international travel after this year!🙏 -Matt
I was dying when he said " top 10 worst things i ever did" hahaha
Hahahaha 😂🙈 it was so rough... nonstop kayaking for 2 hours in 25 mph winds. Not our smartest idea! 😂😂😂 Matts still salty about it! Haha 😆
@@AdventuresofMattandNat hahaha well its a new day.. Hopefully you'll get to go inside the canyon when tour guides open. It sucks they don't let you go inside the cave without one.
Haha... true! Yea, we hope to make it back to redeem ourselves! You can go into the lower canyon via Lake Powell (like we attempted and failed) but yea, the upper canyon is still closed but even when it’s open you can’t access it without a guide.😭
How much was the air tour roughly?
I can’t remember off the top of my head, but if you check their website you should be able to find their current rates. americanaviationwest.com/
Tell them we said hello if you end up booking it! Thanks so much for watching!😊 -Matt
