Page, Arizona Weather in October 2026

October drops Page into its most photographer-friendly stretch: highs mellow to 22C/71.6F, nights cool to 10.4C/50.7F, precipitation returns modestly at 21mm across 3.5 rainy days, and 10.3 hours of daily sunshine cast long-angle side light on the sandstone walls all afternoon. Cottonwoods along Glen Canyon peak in late October yellow, the Colorado River at Lees Ferry drops to 12C for the last raft launches of the season, and morning mist off Wahweap Bay lasts almost until 9am.

Upper Antelope light beams officially end on October 7 with the sun angle drop, and Navajo guide operators shift to standard Upper and Lower Antelope tours through the month. Horseshoe Bend rim quiets to weekday levels comfortable enough to shoot without a queue, and Lake Powell houseboats drop 40 percent from summer rates. Big John's Texas BBQ patio stays open through October, and Wahweap Marina hosts its annual Lake Powell rowing regatta in the third week.

Ten years of October data at Page show precipitation events shifting later into November while October averages climbed 1.5C, and 2026 arrives with a slightly wetter forecast tied to weak El Nino signals emerging in the eastern Pacific. Reclamation Lake Powell elevation projections for October 2026 sit near the 30-year average for the first time since 2019, and the National Park Service extended Glen Canyon NRA campground reservations through October 31 for the 2026 season.

Travelers planning Page in October 2026 should book houseboats or Alstrom Point 4WD excursions midweek when weekend visitors from Utah stay home, treat the first week as the last beam-tour opportunity of the year, and layer heavy for post-sunset canyon overlooks. 2026 Antelope Canyon operators dropped to shoulder-rate pricing October 8, and Lake Powell winter marina schedules at Wahweap begin the last week of October 2026.
