Water Hole Canyon Ranch Family Cemetery is located near Water Hole Canyon, which is a branched drainage that forms several beautiful slot canyons, cutting through the red Navajo sandstone rocks around Lake Powell. It is only a few miles from Page, Arizona, and flows into the short section of Glen Canyon that remains intact. As with nearby Antelope Canyon, the watercourse extends either side of a main road (US 89) and becomes much deeper downstream, with a number of sheer drops. Various narrow passageways, both west and especially east of the road, have exceptionally pretty rock formations with the curved, delicately colored sandstone characteristic of this region -- nicely illuminated here, as the canyon, although often very narrow, is, in general, not too deep for sunlight to be excluded. Also, like Antelope Canyon, Water Hole Canyon becomes a wide sandy wash above the lower narrows but then splits into a number of upper tributaries, some of which also have slot sections, mostly quite short but still narrow, pretty, and varied in character. Despite being close to Page and the main highway, Water Hole Canyon is not too well known and is visited much less often than Antelope Canyon. The drainage runs east-west about 7 miles south of Page, meeting the Colorado River a short distance above Lee's Ferry, passing under US 89 at milepost 542, and extending about 5 miles southeast where it branches into three main forks, then branching into a dozen or so smaller forks.
