Program details
Jump on board our premium WiFi-enabled bus in Las Vegas and we will transport you to a magical place!The original Navajo name "Tsé bighánílíní" means “the place where water runs through rocks”. Antelope Canyon’s sculpted sandstone walls offer memorable photo opportunities with a walkable corridor at the bottom of the canyon floor. It was formed by flash flood waters that rushed into the cracks of the Navajo sandstone along with the power of wind erosion. With the daylight dancing through the narrow openings from the top, provides multiple kinds of light reflections and colors.
This amazing changing color show makes this area a popular destination for photographers and tourists. Your Lower Antelope Canyon walking tour begins just outside of the town of Page, overlooking magnificent Lake Powell.
After meeting your Navajo guide, you walk approximately 1/4 mile to the lower end of the canyon, where you will enter by a staircase with support railings. Once in the canyon, you will walk through a narrow sandstone canyon with a few ascents of staircases, moving toward the upper end of the canyon.
There are multiple photo opportunities and your experienced guides will share the history and culture of the area.
From Antelope Canyon, you will visit an area where the Colorado River makes a 280-degree turn around the Horseshoe bend shape of the rock, hence its name Horseshoe Bend. Horseshoe Bend Overlook requires a 1.5-mile roundtrip (2.4 km) walk over sand and rocks. You will reach a 1000-foot-deep canyon as you look down upon the mighty Colorado River at the bottom of Glen Canyon.
