The Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend are pretty far away from Flagstaff. (About 2.5 hour's drive) But with adequate stops at some view spots or shops for us to stretch our legs, and a really friendly and interesting guide, Brad, it was never boring. He talked about some history and mythical stories of the tribal people (hopi and navajo), which really gives depth to the tour. Of course, the antelope canyon and horseshoe bend are marvelous art works of the nature.
