Look what you can do in Southern Utah!

Hello, everyone!

This is Adam, the owner of Liberty Vacation Rentals.  Thanks for being here!

Don’t just learn about the history of the southwest… come and live it!  Remember that when you’re at Liberty Vacation Rentals, you can chat with the manager (host) to get tips and ideas for your trip.  Use our hi-speed Wi-Fi to research the area, find out what times are best to go into the slot canyons, get some brochures in our lobby, and see which tour companies we have partnered with, to offer discounts to you.

We know you like to travel, and want to get the most out of your experience!  You’ll find so much to do here:  boat rentals, tours of the lake by boat, airplane, or helicopter, tours on the Colorado River, paddle-boarding, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, as well as annual events, such as the hot-air balloon festival.

Our manager, JeniMae, recently put together a Guidebook in each rental, with 6 days of fun-filled ideas and suggestions for travelers who come to this area.  Please ask for more details. Our goal is your satisfaction.  If you were planning on a one-night only stay, allow me to offer you a few extra nights, with a multi-night discount (availability allowing).  Just ask!

// AND MORE RECOMMENDATIONS, ALL YEAR ROUND //

 


Get inside Antelope Canyon. Many tour companies offer competing rates to go on a guided tour.
(Go during any season, except on rainy days.)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Horseshoe Bend is a frequented landmark, giving viewers an expansive look atop the Colorado River, at the beginning of the Grand Canyon, just south of the dam. Visit anytime of year.
(May have a small cost beginning 2019.)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Kayaking at Lake Powell is extremely popular, so be early to rent yours. Paddle-boarding is also a great pastime, for those who would rather stand. Great during any season.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Lone Rock Beach – This beautiful recreation area is just a 10 minute drive from your suite.
Very warm water in summertime. Best to visit Spring thru Fall.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The Narrows hiking trail is actually a wet and wild experience. You’ll be trekking through the Virgin River, as it flows through Zion. A highly recommended experience from Spring thru Fall, but avoid going on rainy days, as flash floods could occur.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The Angel’s Landing hike, overlooking much of Zion Canyon. A more difficult hike, and great exercise any time of year.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Tour the massive and impressive Glen Canyon Dam, for a very small fee. You’ll get to walk out on the dam, overlooking the 700 foot drop to the Colorado River, below, and you’ll go inside to see the inner-workings of this impressive feat of human engineering, on a guided tour. Stick around at the end to watch a 30-minute movie in the theater, and pick up souvenirs. Best to visit any time of year, and especially on rainy days. Also, see the Lake Powell Museum, in Page.
