The pass, which cuts through the Toroweap Fault and has played a key role in shaping the landscape of the Grand Canyon, is fully in view as you drive through the pass from the east and into the vast expansion of the Colorado Plateau. As you travel west along Highway 89 and just beyond the pass, there is a viewpoint on the west side of the road called Antelope Pass Vista. This is worth the stop, and we guarantee you the stunning views will leave you in awe. An absolutely magnificent drive.
Definitely a unique and interesting Geological feature to drive through on the way to Page, Arizona.
It doesn't seem like much but honestly it's pretty cool to drive up and through. We stopped by Page to get stuff at Walmart and ended up seeing this cool feature.
Lost my Mavic 3 Pro drone here. 😢 It is very valuable to me. If anyone finds its remains, please contact me—I would be very grateful.By the way, this place is incredibly beautiful!
One of the more impressive road cuts in the southwest. A tunnel of rock piercing the fault/fold
Roadside overlook atop the Echo Cliffs where US‑89 crests at 6,151 ft, revealing sweeping views over Marble Canyon, the Vermilion Cliffs and the Colorado River corridor—an easy, free photo stop between Page and the Grand Canyon’s North Rim.
Antelope Pass crowns the steepest grade on US‑89, climbing the Echo Cliffs before dropping toward Page. A Navajo‑maintained pull‑out lets travelers safely absorb an immense landscape: Navajo Mountain to the east, Vermilion Cliffs to the west and the trench of Marble Canyon straight ahead. Sitting on Navajo Nation land just outside Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the site requires no federal pass or fee. Amenities are minimal—only an interpretive panel—so bring water, secure loose hats and expect strong winds and intense midday sun. Its proximity to Page (20 min) makes it a convenient stop en route to Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon or the North Rim.
From Page, drive 20 mi (32 km) south on US‑89; lookout is on the left just after cresting the grade.
Local advice to help you make the most of your visit.
Most visitors spend 10–20 minutes for photos; longer if you wait for changing light.
Yes, leashed pets are welcome, but keep them away from the cliff edge and hot pavement.
The parking area is paved and level, but there are no designated ADA ramps or railings.
