Chiseled out by millions of years’ worth of flood erosion and impactful winds on its Navajo sandstone walls, this section of the canyon has been sculpted into the iconic "X" shape that aptly gives it its name. And on this all-day tour, you’ll venture into this fascinating landscape for an incredible encounter with nature!
Your journey begins when you meet your local expert Navajo guide, who will lead you on a short walk to the canyon’s entrance. Descend into the canyon, where you will find yourself in a world made of rocks and sand.
Take advantage of the many photo opportunities to capture the colors and textures. Admire the way the daylight slants in from the narrow openings overhead, dancing off the sandstone and changing colors with every turn. Fuel your adventure with a delicious box lunch that includes a deli-style sandwich and side.
Next, you’ll hike over rocks and sandstone to reach the pinnacle of Horseshoe Bend Overlook. Gaze down into the bottom of Glen Canyon to see where the mighty Colorado River makes a 280 degree turn around the rocks, forming the shape of a horseshoe. Take a moment to contemplate the power of nature’s wind and water before you leave.
Experience these stunning natural wonders up close and personal on this awe-inspiring Antelope Canyon X and Horseshoe Bend Adventure!
