It was the best...
It was the best experience ever. We learned so much and beautiful landscaping. I’m glad we did comfort stops as it was very thoughtful.

Description
Hidden for centuries beneath Native soil, nature has built a cathedral for herself: a slot canyon still unsurpassed in its beauty, the perfect symphony of sand, stone and light, layered marble colored rock that is distinctly unique. In additional exploring Antelope Canyon with a Navajo guide, you will continue on your journey and visit Horseshoe Bend. A short hike takes you to the most captivating curve the Colorado River has carved out on his 1400 mile journey from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California. At this sheer 1000ft drop, framed by massive canyon walls, the emerald green sparkly reflections of this ancient stream will surely take your breath away. Enjoy a local eatery in Page as well as a Navajo Trading Post along the day's route!

Itinerary
From the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, our route takes us through the Sonoran Desert up into the picturesque mountain town of Flagstaff. This historic Route 66 town lies at the base of the largest mountain range in Arizona, the San Francisco Peaks, which we will be able to gaze upon as we continue to travel north to the Lake Powell region. Please note, Flagstaff has an elevation of 7,000 feet so take note if you have concerns about altitude.
Navajo Trail Trading Post
Along our way, we will enjoy a visit to a Navajo Trading Post and explore Navajo culture and their intricate crafts.
Lower Antelope Canyon
Upon arrival to Page, Arizona, we will begin our tour of spectacular Lower Antelope Canyon. Here we will tour Lower Antelope Canyon with a local Navajo guide who will lead you through the amazing natural formations of this world-famous slot canyon. The photo opportunities will be second to none! In addition to touring Lower Antelope Canyon, we also include photo stops of Lake Powell before stopping for a group lunch in Page at one of their unique eateries.
See views of Lake Powell and then spend time in Page for lunch.
Horseshoe Bend
After our time in Antelope Canyon and Page, we will embark upon a scenic one-mile walk to Horseshoe Bend Overlook which is highlighted by awe-inspiring views into this deeply carved channel and the Colorado River below. Photos from the edge of this natural beauty are widespread across the world and are nothing short of amazing.

An amazing country
It’s very beautiful! . You must do this. The horseshoe bend is so massive it doesn’t look real. And lower antelope canyon is absolutely incredible. The ride there is long but you see so many types of landscapes along the way. it’s definitely worth it, and makes the time go by fast. Mark was a great tour guide, and is very knowledgeable. It was a great experience for my team, here for a business conference.

Amazing tour!
This tour was beyond anything I imagined! Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend are absolutely breathtaking on their own, but what truly made the day unforgettable was our tour guide, Mark. From the moment we hopped on the bus, he set the tone with his warm personality, fun sense of humour, and genuinely impressive knowledge of the area. Highly recommend this tour!
