Suitable for travelers in average physical condition comfortable with short hikes (0.5–1.5 miles) and stairs; long vehicle transfers require stamina.
A compact two-day sweep from Las Vegas puts you on Grand Canyon rims, above Horseshoe Bend, inside Antelope Canyon’s sculpted slots, and along Lake Powell. Expect long drives, big views, Navajo-guided slot-canyon hikes, and optional helicopter or kayaking add-ons.
You step off the coach before sunrise and the desert takes a breath: cold air rising from red rock, a hush that feels larger than the highway you left behind. On this two-day sweep from Las Vegas you move between scales — the intimate, twisting ribs of Antelope Canyon and the cathedral-size void of the Grand Canyon — with a helicopter ride offering a brief, cinematic inverse of both.

Desert sun and long drives dehydrate quickly — plan on 2–3 liters per person per day and refill when you can.
Wide-brim hat, SPF 30+ sunscreen and a lightweight wind layer make rim viewpoints and lake breezes comfortable.
Horseshoe Bend trail is sandy with small rises; Lower Antelope has stairs and narrow footing — avoid sandals.
Antelope Canyon is on Navajo land; follow guide instructions, avoid touching sandstone, and stay with the group for safety and cultural respect.
The Grand Canyon records nearly 2 billion years of geologic history in its layers; Antelope Canyon sits on Navajo Nation land and the slot canyons bear cultural significance and place names in the Navajo language.
Guided access and permit fees support Navajo stewardship and safety; practice Leave No Trace—sandstone is fragile and flash floods can be catastrophic during monsoon season.
Keeps you hydrated through long buses, hikes, and dry desert heat.
