Suitable for most fitness levels; participants should be comfortable with short hikes of up to 1.2 miles roundtrip and standing on viewpoints.
A fast-paced, four-day loop from Los Angeles that pairs Las Vegas spectacle with the geological drama of the Grand Canyon and the slot-canyon light shows at Antelope Canyon. Ideal for travelers who want big vistas, photo-ready stops, and a handful of optional add-ons like helicopter flights and Lake Powell kayaking.
The highway unfurls like a promise: neon-lit Las Vegas receding in the rearview, red rock horizons swelling on the hood. On day two the bus eases to a stop at the South Rim and the canyon arrives not as a photo but as a physical demand — a vast, sun-etched wound in the earth that makes conversation small and careful. Later, the Colorado River will seem to dare you from below, an unseen engine that carved cliffs and sent ancient sediments tumbling into layers of time.

Helicopter rides, Lower Antelope Canyon slots and Lake Powell kayaking sell out—reserve add-ons when you book the tour.
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water and plan for brief, strenuous bursts at overlooks and on the Horseshoe Bend approach.
High desert sun can be intense; wear a wide-brim hat, SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV sunglasses.
Follow your Navajo guide’s directions: photography rules, group sizes and site closures are enforced locally.
This route crosses lands long inhabited by Native American peoples; Page and Antelope Canyon lie on Navajo Nation land, and Lake Powell flooded Glen Canyon after Glen Canyon Dam was completed in the 1960s.
Antelope Canyon access is managed by Navajo guides to protect fragile sandstone; travelers should follow Leave No Trace principles and minimize water use in this arid region.
Support and traction for uneven rim overlooks and the sandy walk to Horseshoe Bend.
Keeps you hydrated across desert stretches and reduces single-use plastic.
