What to do and see in Big Water, Utah (UT): The Best Things to do
Big Water is a town in Kane County, Utah, United States. The population was 417 at the 2000 census, a modest increase over the 1990 figure of 326. It is located 17 miles north of Page, Arizona on US-89 near Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam. It was originally called Glen Canyon City and housed workers who built the dam in the 1950s. Big Water made news in the 1980s as a polygamous colony of the Joseph clan. It also made news in 1986, when the mayor Alex Joseph and the city council left the Republican Party to join the Libertarian Party. This made Joseph the first Libertarian mayor in the history of the U.S. Subsequently, Willy Marshall, also a Libertarian, was elected as the state's first openly gay mayor.

The Wave is a sandstone rock formation located near Big Water, Utah on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes, in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, on the Colorado Plateau. It is famous among hikers and photographers for its colorful, undulating forms, and the rugged, trackless hike required to reach it.

Epic and surreal experience beyond any language can describe! The permit system limits 20 visitors a day and that made everyone’s experience so private and personal! It also protects the WAVE hugely!

The toadstool rock formations are just another spectacular destination in Utah. Almost missed it as we traveling along the highway. Heard that Monday was a great time to visit because we heard from another couple that there were lines on Sunday. The weather was a bluebird day and the winds were calm. Walk is a little up , down and. narrow. But sort it all the way!

was not sure about my ability to find this hike from Kanab. Very easy to find and hike was not too challenging - my 70 year old mom did it. you can either hike through the wash or follow the "official trail" - official trail was hard to see at times. Very few people at the hoodoos when we arrived in the afternoon. A port-o-pod bathroom on site. Bring water. Nothing else around. Budget an hour or so for the hike and photos

We rented two Personal water crafts from Robert and family. The whole renting process was easy and the machines they provided were good. Immediate responses for any questions leading up to our rental date. When we brought the crafts back and explained about a simple problem one of them had, Robert was accommodating to our situation. The lack of phone service on Powell made it hard to contact him while on the lake for the week. I had no doubt that if we contacted him, Robert would have brought us a new craft. I would rent again from Skylite Rentals. Don’t look any further, this outfit will take care of all your Lake Powell rental needs.
