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.

We took the day tour from Flagstaff north to Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend on November 3, 2017. Nine of us were comfortable in a 12-person van for the longish trip. Jennifer Barnes (Jen) was our tour guide and she was so interesting that it made the 2-hour trip north just fly by. She was full of information about the Navajo reservation we traveled through and the residents current way of life, as well as information about the geography, history, and ecology of the area. We visited Horseshoe Bend first, and it was quite a hilly trek to get to it, but it was beautiful. Some of the younger people got quite close to the unfenced edge, even laying down in Superman poses, but we stayed back a ways. Next Jen took us to the Glen Canyon Dam visitor center, where we got a view of Lake Powell and had a nice sack lunch on the lawn there. Next we drove to the nearby slot canyon area, where we were turned over to a native guide who took us through Lower Antelope Canyon. I was afraid that the lighting down in the canyon would be poor since we it was November, but it was well lit (enough that we got gorgeous photos even on our point-and-shoot cameras.) The slot canyon was the highlight of our trip and we are so glad we went at this point in our lives--I am in my late 60s and a few of the tight squeezes and ladders with no handrails were a little bit of a challenge. The guide stopped to let us take photos at spots she knew would be especially pretty and once even took our cameras and took a picture for us at a particular angle that turned out to be quite nice. Once we climbed out of the canyon, we looked back at the unremarkable little crack in the earth and couldn't believe the beauty hidden below. Wonderful! Jen was a superb guide, as her experiences all over the world made her commentary so interesting.

So glad we took this opportunity to let Drew do the planning and navigating while we got to just enjoy not only the beauty of Arizona, but also on being together as a family for the day. Highly recommend this tour!
