Details

Located in Page, Arizona, the Antelope Hogan Bed and Breakfast offers a distinctive gateway to some of the Southwest’s most iconic slot canyons. This region is carved by eons of wind and water, yielding narrow, twisting passages with dramatic light beams that paint the sandstone walls in vibrant hues. The highlight is the Upper Antelope Canyon, known for its soaring, smooth curves and ethereal shafts of sunlight, which photographers prize for their visual impact.

Antelope Hogan goes beyond typical day tours by offering comprehensive packages, including an all-inclusive stay in a Hogan-style accommodation—an immersive Native American-inspired lodging experience that enriches the visit. Their suite of trips includes multiple variations of slot canyon tours such as the popular Upper Antelope Canyon Tour and the more adventurous Rattlesnake and Hidden Canyon excursions, well-suited for those wanting to venture beyond the well-trodden paths.

Visitors frequently commend guides like Richardson and Sean for their deep knowledge of geology and local lore, guiding guests at a measured pace that balances marveling at the delicate rock formations with capturing perfect photographs. The small-group sizes and comfortable transportation options provide a more intimate and less rushed experience compared to larger tour trucks common in the area.

Located on Navajo land, these canyons hold cultural significance to the Navajo people, reflected in respectful guiding practices that emphasize preservation. The region’s sandstone walls form unique wave-like patterns created by flash flood erosion—a raw display of nature’s power. While the terrain is accessible for most fitness levels, thoughtful preparation is encouraged for navigating sandy, uneven paths.

Antelope Hogan’s offerings stand out in Page’s already crowded adventure scene by combining comfortable lodging with personalized canyon trips, allowing visitors not only to witness but to truly connect with one of Arizona’s most compelling natural wonders.
