[red][size 3]I copied this from the NPS. You can hike/fish all the way from the buoys to the opposite side of anchovy point from this trailhead if you want. We were in the boat but saw quite a few stripers caught by folks casting anchovies from shore. Fishing along the beach by Lone Rock was lousy. There are fishing docks by the marina store you could fish. Didn't look all that exciting to me but there were some kids there having a good time. The picture is looking west from the hanging garden toward Anchovie point and Wahweep. [/size][/red]

[#000000]Hanging Garden Trail
Turn off is one quarter mile (.4km) east of Glen Canyon Bridge (the opposite side from Carl Hayden Visitor Center) on Hwy 89. Trailhead parking is 500 yards (455m) off of Hwy 89. This hike leads you to a luxuriant Hanging Garden: A desert oasis on the mesa top high above the Colorado River and Lake Powell.
Securely hidden by Jurassic Navajo sandstone, this seep spring quickly takes hostage every drop of rainwater it can absorb. Slowly it liberates this water over time to create a surprisingly lush plant and animal habitat that delights and surprises those who discover it.
The desert is astonishingly subtle and delicate. If you walk quietly, you will see and hear more. It can refresh observations and awaken inactive senses with each step you take.
1 mile (1.6km) round-trip
Easy to Moderate[/#000000]
