Wildlife

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.

Adventure Tips

Time your visit

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.

Footwear and footing

Wear sturdy closed‑toe shoes — sand, slick rock and ladders make trail shoes or light hikers the smart choice.

Pack light, hydrate

Bring a refillable water bottle and sun protection; note that small bags and backpacks are restricted in Lower Antelope.

Camera rules

Compact cameras and phones are fine, but tripods, monopods, GoPros and stabilizers are prohibited inside the canyons.
