Suitable for most people who can manage short hikes, stairs and ladders; not ideal for those with serious mobility issues.
A Navajo‑owned, half‑day tour that threads Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon with a visit to Horseshoe Bend. This guided outing combines cultural insight, geology, and practical logistics — ideal for travelers wanting three Page, AZ, highlights in one efficient trip.
You step off the air-conditioned van into sun-scorched air and the landscape immediately changes: the desert pushes you toward a narrow mouth in the red rock where light becomes a thing you can walk into. In the space of one half-day this Navajo‑owned tour threads you through two very different slot canyons and drops you at the rim of the Colorado River where the river bends into a perfect horseshoe. It feels cinematic and pragmatic at once — a rapid sequence of textures, steps and views that reward the patient and the curious.

Schedule the Upper Antelope stop near mid‑day for the best chance of overhead light shafts; early morning is cooler and less crowded at Horseshoe Bend.
Wear sturdy closed‑toe shoes — sand, slick rock and ladders make trail shoes or light hikers the smart choice.
Bring a refillable water bottle and sun protection; note that small bags and backpacks are restricted in Lower Antelope.
Compact cameras and phones are fine, but tripods, monopods, GoPros and stabilizers are prohibited inside the canyons.
Antelope Canyon sits on Navajo Nation land and is guided and managed by Diné people; tours include cultural interpretation about the canyon's significance and local traditions.
Visitor caps, guided access and gear restrictions are in place to protect fragile sandstone and respect Navajo land stewardship; follow Leave No Trace and your guide's instructions.
Grip and support for sand, uneven rock and short ladder sections.
Protects against intense desert sun between stops and at overlooks.
