2 days (approx. 48 hours)
Suitable for travelers with basic fitness — expect several short hikes (up to 1.5 miles) and periods of standing; minimal elevation change but some steep viewpoints.
Two days of big skies and deep canyons: this private tour from Las Vegas packs Grand Canyon viewpoints, a Navajo-guided Lower Antelope Canyon walk and the Horseshoe Bend overlook into a compact, photography-friendly itinerary. Ideal for travelers who want iconic views without the planning overhead.
The morning light over the Mojave flattens Las Vegas into a grid of long shadows and then falls away as the tour bus hums north, the Strip shrinking behind a ribbon of highway. By midday the landscape has changed from scrub to rust-colored cliffs: first the distant rim of the Grand Canyon, then the tight, liquid curves of Antelope Canyon where sunlight threads down like a spotlight. Over two days the itinerary reads like the southwest's highlight reel — Grand Canyon viewpoints, a Navajo-guided walk through Lower Antelope Canyon, the cliff-top panorama at Horseshoe Bend, then a sweep through Zion and Bryce on the return route — but it’s the small moments that stick: the sudden quiet on a rim trail, the warm glow inside a slot canyon, wind working at millennia of sandstone.

Carry 1–2 liters of water and refill at hotels — desert dehydration happens fast during walks and while waiting at viewpoints.
Wide-brim hat, SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV sunglasses are essential for exposed viewpoints and canyon tops.
Choose shoes with good traction for sandy, uneven trails at Horseshoe Bend and the rim overlooks.
Follow your Navajo guide’s instructions in Antelope Canyon; flash photography and touching formations are restricted to protect the site.
The region is part of ancestral Navajo and Hopi lands; many slot canyon tours operate under Navajo Nation permissions and are led by Navajo guides.
Antelope Canyon and the national parks limit group sizes and enforce no-touch rules to protect fragile sandstone; stay on trails and pack out waste to minimize impact.
Good traction and ankle support for sandy approaches and uneven rim paths.
Keeps you hydrated through long drives and desert walks; refill at lodgings.
