Bring warm layers
Desert nights drop quickly—pack a warm jacket and hat even after hot days.
Carry 1L+ water
Hydrate before and after the hike; there’s no water source at the canyon.
Watch for weather
Avoid tours during monsoon storms; slot canyons can flood rapidly—follow guide instructions.
Respect cultural guidance
Follow the Navajo guide’s rules about where to walk and photograph out of respect for tribal land.
Headlamp or compact flashlight
Even with provided headlamps, a personal light helps for footing and photography prep.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Sandy, uneven surfaces and low ledges require good tread and ankle support.
Insulating jacket
Night temperatures fall sharply—a warm layer keeps evenings comfortable.
