Located near the vibrant town of Page, Arizona, the Lower Antelope Canyon Tour combined with a visit to the Horseshoe Bend Overlook delivers an unforgettable Southwest experience. This excursion draws visitors into some of the most iconic natural formations in the American Southwest, set against the striking red sandstone landscapes carved over millennia. Both locations provide dramatically different but equally stunning geological spectacles within a short distance, making this combo tour a standout adventure.
