Chiseled out by millions of years’ worth of flood erosion and impactful winds on its Navajo sandstone walls, the Upper Antelope Canyon, also known as “The Crack,” has been sculpted into a solemn place of wonder. And on this all-day tour, you’ll venture into its otherworldly landscape for an incredible encounter with nature!
Your journey begins when you meet your local expert Navajo guide, who will lead you to the entrance and onto the floor of the canyon. With walls reaching up to 120 feet high, you will find yourself surrounded by a fantastical world made of rocks and sand.
Take advantage of the many photo opportunities to capture the colors and textures. The wider openings at the top of Upper Antelope Canyon allow in stunning beams of sunlight that dance off the sandstone, causing the colors to change moment by moment. Be sure to explore different vantage points as you will find that even small angle changes make a huge difference in perception. Fuel your adventure with a delicious box lunch that includes a deli-style sandwich and side.
After the canyon tour, 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 Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Adventure!
