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.

What a fabulous, albeit exhausting day! We were picked up at the Tour office in Flagstaff and were taken in a large van, first to Horseshoe Bend and then to Antelope Canyon. On the way, our guide Jason provided narrative about the land, early settlers, the tribal history of the area and how the area evolved geologically. He was SO knowledgeable, but not in a know-it-all way. During the tour we stopped at a Navajo trading post where we bought unique handmade Navajo souvenirs and we also had lunch at Lake Powell - beautiful. Antelope Slot Canyon had been closed the day before our tour due to flash floods, so there were a lot more people at the canyon than expected (who had tickets from the day before). Once we got to the slot canyon, Jason turned us over to a Navajo guide who taught us so much about the Navajo tribe and the area while walking us through the canyon. The drive from Flagstaff to the Slot Canyon was quite long (about 2 hrs?) but well worth the trip. Warning - there is a lot of walking involved and if we had gone in June, July or August we would not have been able to complete the tour due to the intense heat. Luckily, the weather was absolutely fantastic in late September, 2022.

Great tour, so glad we took it. We’d recommend it to everyone. Tony was a great guide, we had a lot of personalized recommendations from him for our trip. The views were amazing and we were able to leave with some wonderful pictures to cherish forever.

Scott was the Tour Guide and he was very informative. He was a good and safe driver and filled us in on so much information along the drive. He also told us what to expect at each stop so we were able to get the most out of the stop. Great tour....I used Flagstaff as a base for 6 nights and I LOVED Antelope Canyon better than anything else I saw, including the Grand Canyon.
