What To Expect

Navajo Nation

Travel through one of the most biodiverse stretch of highway from Flagstaff at 7000 feet, the Navajo Nation, and the red rocks of Glen Canyon before arriving at Horseshoe Bend

Horseshoe Bend

Next, it's off to Horseshoe Bend. Take an approximate 0.75-mile (1.2-km) hike that brings you to one of the best overlooks. At a point not far downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam, the Colorado River meanders around a rock promontory, creating the horseshoe-shaped loop beloved by visitors and photographers from around the world. As you approach the edge, take in the wonderful view. Please note: You'll hike a total of 2 miles (3.2 km); comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended.

Glen Canyon Dam Overlook

Enjoy amazing views as you enjoy a picnic lunch at Glen Canyon Dam Overlook.

Antelope Canyon

At Antelope Canyon, follow your Navajo guide through a narrow slit in the earth where you’ll see the sculpted sandstone cliff. Sunlight from overhead creates shafts of light that pass into the canyon, making it even more beautiful. Descend ladders into the depths of the canyon to discover more of this serene place, and take photos with help from your guide about using the right settings on your camera for the light and the best angles for taking interesting shots. Antelope Canyon is a photographers dream.

My husband and I had an amazing experience visiting Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend through Grand Canyon Adventures! Matt was extremely knowledgeable, interesting and personable. He was an incredible guide! He was also kind enough to offer advice when we asked for information to help us plan our visit to the Grand Canyon the following day. Drew was a phenomenal administrator; he was timely, professional and knowledgeable when helping us choose and coordinate the tour prior to our trip, making it an easy and excellent choice for us. We had a good amount of time at both Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, and Matt ensured that our 2 hour drive each way from Flagstaff was full of interesting historical facts and anecdotes. It was great to have lunch outside and enjoy the views of Glen Canyon. A wonderful day, we highly recommend it!

I took a tour recently (Jan) and this must've been the perfect time to go! During this time there wasn't any traffic and not as many tourists going to the Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. This left me with amazing opportunities to take photos without having to wait to get that perfect picture spot. Our tour guide Marcia Burns was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and also provided some recommendations for good eats and other places to visit in Flagstaff. She made the drive to the destinations very educational and left me learning a lot about the region. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit these incredible destinations!

Rob was an exceptional and knowledgeable tour guide. He also was a safe and cautious driver. The tour started off with a 3 hour drive to Page, AZ. Rob was giving us a history about the Navajo owned land. Very informative. When we got the upper canyon of the antelope, we waited for our permits. We then embarked on a truck with Nina, our tour guide. Make sure to bring a buff or handkerchief as you will need it for the 3 mile drive in the sand. Once we got to the antelope canyon, it was pretty crowded for December 30. Rob did state it is their busiest time of the year as tourists flock during the new year. Once we got in, Nina and the rest of the tour guides would give tips how to take pictures in the canyon. Very helpful as my pictures turned out pretty amazing. The whole experience was great, if only we got the sunlight, but we were told it only comes out during March-September. We headed back to the bus to have lunch at Glen Canyon Dam with sandwiches, pasta salad, chips, water and soda. You can walk the bridge less than a mile to get a view of the dam and Colorado river. Lastly, was the hike to Horseshoe bend. Bring good walking shoes as it is a hike, but doable. Its about a mile walk. The Horseshoe Bend was breathtaking. Again, it was crowded but you can still take great pictures minus the people in it. Rob drove us all back to our designated hotels and ended the trip on a great note.
