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.

The changing scenery and wondrous terrains on the way to Antelope Canyon and back to Flagstaff were well worth it alone, with Ryan's enthusiastically shared wealth of information about history, ecosystems, water and many of the complex interrelationships. For me, a big treat was gazing out the van windows for hours in air-conditioned comfort because I didn't have to drive--plus pickup and drop-off at our Flagstaff hotel happened hassle-free. The picnic lunch at Glen Canyon Dam overlooking Lake Powell was delicious and refreshing--snacks and chilled water and soda along the way to the other destinations kept us alert too. My friend snapped many great pictures everywhere. He said the Navajo guide did a great job showing Antelope Canyon. Because the tour was a surprise for me, booked from a brochure my traveling pal had found in our hotel lobby, I found I didn't have proper shoes packed for the short hikes uphill and downhill over hot sand and uneven stones between the parking lots and the canyons, so I chose to sit out the two main attractions! The best I could do was "walking sandals" when athletic shoes or hiking boots would have been more or most appropriate and I was still recovering from a recent knee injury besides. Despite my wimping out of the main events, I thoroughly enjoyed myself on this day-tour and greatly appreciated Ryan's flexibility. This marvelous jaunt was great fun, start to finish--now it's on my list of musts.

Who knew that Arizona was the land of dormant volcanoes! Not me! As you are driving through Arizona, the first thing that seemed out of place was the lava field on both sides of the road? Lava? It reminded me a lot of the Big Island in Hawaii. As I observed the landscape I realized that we were surrounded by cinder cones from volcanic activity. This was very interesting as we approached Horseshoe Bend. Now, I have reviewed the tour, but I wanted to touch on Horseshoe Bend. Again, mobbed with tourists, just like me. People were laying all over the rocks taking selfies, posing, and tempting me to push them over the edge (sorry -- it's true). The only way to catch a view such as the one in this photograph is from a helicopter. There are river tours where you can paddle around the bend. That will be my next stop. I would recommend this tour if you have no transportation and are just in the area for a short time. The area is remarkable and well worth seeing. Next time, I will go during the off season.

On the last day of our trip we did the Antelope Canyon/Horseshoe Bend tour from Flagstaff. It was a bit of drive but the scenery is absolutely gorgeous along the way. There were ample potty breaks and the tour van was stocked with unlimited drinks and snacks (which was wonderful for this pregnant lady). Horseshoe bend was beautiful. It's a little bit of a hike (made a little hard by walking in sand) but the views were completely worth it. We had a wonderful lunch at lake Powell complete with the BEST pasta salad I've ever tasted. We were then off to Antelope Canyon and it was absolutely breathtaking. This was one of the biggest highlights of our whole trip. Big shout out to our tour guide Marcia Burns who was not only extremely friendly but had a vast knowledge of all things Arizona. I highly recommend this tour, this company, and if you can swing it having Marcia as your guide!
