Spring weather has arrived early in Arizona, especially in our northern sections of the state. The temperatures are warming up and most of know what that means: time to get in hikes and other outdoor activities before the summer heat kicks in!

If you’re looking for an easy trail in northern Arizona that will take you to a hidden oasis, then we have just the spot for you!

One little oasis we simply love is the Hanging Garden located near Lake Powell in Page. This treasure is accessible by hiking, although you'll find the trail to be a pretty easy trek.
