Amazing. Total time in canyon is approx 90 min to walk thru the crack in the earth. There are lots of steps and ladders and they are narrow and steep. We saw one pretty big guy coming back up as we were starting our way down the first set of ladders, he decided he'd never be able to come back up if he went down. Know your limits. At the narrowest parts at the bottom I could just fit thru, so it's not for everyone. Make sure you know the rules. No bags allowed. Just your camera and a small water bottle. No videos at all. No pictures on the ladders. Keep it moving. Stay with your tour group. To enter you must be with a Navajo escort from one of the 2 companies and stay with them the entire way. Make res ahead of time to make sure there's spots for your group before you get there. Only porta potties available at the meeting place, and foot pump your water to wash hands. There was no soap. Pictures and words don't describe how amazing it was. I was glad it didn't rain because if it's flash flooding they'll close the slot canyons. Although not a national park, I enjoyed it more than Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion.

I visited this wonder in December of last year with Things while on a vacation. This place has been on my bucket list for years, and I am so glad I got to see it with my kiddos. I booked this tour months in advance due to its popularity via Pink Jeep Tours in Sedona. Facts: Antelope Canyon is one of the most photographed destinations in the Southwest. Guided tours are offered year-round, but photographers time their visits to arrive at the canyon midday March through October. That's when the position of the sun creates light shafts that reach the canyon floor and illuminates pink, orange, and gold patterns on the canyon walls. A permit and a tour guide are required to explore this special place. Several authorized tour operators lead small groups to the canyons and share their knowledge about the area's history and geology. Most visitors choose the Upper Antelope Canyon tours to see taller canyon walls streaked with sunlight. The Lower Antelope Canyon tours are equally impressive, immersing visitors in the swirling embrace of sandstone walls. Our Experience Our Navajo Guide was well versed in the history of the canyon as well as ensured the safety of all guests. Further, our guide adjusted the filters on guests' cell phones in order for them to get the best photos possible on the tour (wow)! Everyone who goes on this tour will have a unique experience as each guide is different, as is each tour group one is part of. #thankyounavajonation

it's amazing how nature just does: that! i loved everything about this place -- from the science to the culture to the artistic aspects truly a sight better to see in person and even in photos it's so pretty... but does not capture what the human eye sees

A true 6-star experience. Antelope Canyon is a bucket list item that I truly believe everyone should experience. It left me speechless but if I try my best to put feelings into words, it felt like an embrace- a hug. The lower Antelope Canyon is said to be a little bit harder to access as you have to go deeper into the canyon, descending stairs (a few a bit steep) where the Upper Antelope Canyon is a bit more accessible- so accessible that sometimes wildlife can creep into the canyons, from what our Navajo guide told us. I would say, if you or anyone you're with has difficulty walking or descending down stairs or ladders, I would recommend the Upper Antelope Canyon over the Lower. I came with my parents, ages 67 & 75, who were both able to do this tour but did have some difficulties on the hike over to the canyon entrance, as well as descending. Even so, they were able to make it and said it was well worth it while they still could do treks like these. Now onto the canyon experience itself- there are truly no bad views or photos taken within this treasure. They do let you know that videos are no longer allowed here and if you are caught taking any, you'd be escorted off the tour. Our guide was great, guiding us through the canyon at a good pace where we could take pictures and our time to marvel at the canyon formations. He gave the tip that most great views are missed because some people forget to take a second & stop to look back at the views behind you. The canyon has many faces and, if you let your imagination run wild, you can see many things across the canyon walls. Truly beautiful, in its shapes and color. Definitely recommend making your way to Page, AZ to this breathtaking place.

Booked our tickets online the night before, finding the location was very easy. They had a bunch of tour guides that took us in groups. When we walked into it, it was amazing. The cost was high but very worth it.

Awesome guided tour of the lower antelope canyon. Leisurely stroll through a beautiful slot canyon with views unlike any other. Our guide Aaron was super friendly, very knowledgeable about the land and evolution of the landscape and kept everyone involved for the tour. If you're in the vicinity you should check it out.

Just amazing. The Steve's so amazing and beautiful. Definitely worth the trek out there. You will not be disappointed.

10stars for the Navajo Guides who travel deep into the slot canyon with the guests! They are knowledgeable, informative, friendly and experts with the camera! No video allowed, Navajo own copyrights for all video. Absolutely stunning slot canyon. It's a trek down 1 mile into the canyon. Lots of dips and do. Not for the faint at heart. Navajo mostly friendly at visitor center. My only concern is that they are not organized with the big groups and separating into their tours. Only 15 at a time and sometimes there is an odd number which they don't accommodate. Located Page AZ on Navajo Reservation.

Absolutely Amazing. If you haven't been out here you absolutely need to see the Antelope Canyons. They have both the Lower & Upper Antelope Canyons in Page AZ, both are absolutely gorgeous. I would highly recommend going to see these natural wonders. I would also suggest booking months in advance as they fill up very quickly. I tried booking about 1 1/2 months before we went and found that they were booked for the day we wanted. We were fortunate that someone in Flagstaff AZ told us to go to the Lower Antelope Canyon as it was more likely that we could possibly still get in. There is so much to see in Arizona. The Grand Canyon is massive & something that you must see to fill appreciate the magnitude of this magnificent natural wonder but to me the Antelope Canyons are absolutely magnificent. The canyons are these incredible undulating canyon walls that tower above you as you meander through. They were carved out over millions of years by erosion of the water, wind & rain. We were fortunate that we were able to walk through and see this. Each step is more remarkable than the step before. We witnessed where there had been steel stairs anchored to the canyon wall torn out by the force of the flash flood that passed through. The only evidence was the holes in the red rock where the steel anchors were ripped out by the sheer force of natures flash flood. No words or pictures can adequately describe the beauty of this canyon that only nature & God could create. If you have a chance to see the Antelope Canyons I'm sure you will be in awe. It's definitely worth your time

Super cool - although pretty pricey. I was surprised that kids 8+ are the same price as adults. Mine enjoyed it but definitely did not get the same value out of it as an adult. They do give discounts for military, but only for the ID holder. The ladders were pretty cool and added a little more adventure to the experience. We went on the 10:15 tour and the lighting was perfect but started to be a little too bright to see all the colors towards the end. Our guide, Orlando, was awesome and pointed out different shapes in the canyons and photo ops. He also played the wooden flute in the canyon which was very cool. Loved the tribal hoop dance before the tour. I was worried about the crowds in the canyon but there's plenty of bends and turns to allow you to get a photo without others in the background.

Wow!!! Just incredible. I beauty is wasted on pictures. Our guide was knowledgeable and took great care of us. I highly recommend visiting Lower Antelope Canyon!

Oh. Em. Gee. See my review of of Ken's Tours for something more in-depth.... My understanding is that you must do an organized tour to see Antelope Canyon, and I would whole-heartedly encourage you to do a tour with Ken's Tours. These slot canyons are spectacular (as are just about every other slot canyon I have had the pleasure to explore) and the way light and dust hit the formations is just breathtaking. Page and the Lake Powell area have more to offer than just Antelope Canyon....but it is absolutely worth a visit to the area JUST for the canyon. Like Nike tells us...just do it! Go here and feast your eyes.

See all

The Wave at Coyote Buttes

(31 reviews)

After years of trying to apply for a permit, our group finally got picked! Highly recommend hiking…read moreat least once. I wouldn't do it again though, mainly because of how hard it was to get a permit. We visited in April and the weather was fantastic. It was actually freezing in the morning but as the sun rose, it warmed up to the point where we would sweat a little when hiking. I can't even imagine doing this in the summer but if you win the lottery then, make sure everyone brings plenty of water. To get to the trailhead, I'd recommend having a high-clearance vehicle, especially if it just recently rained. The road off of the freeway becomes unpaved and there are some ditches that can be flooded. Download an offline map of the trail and area for when you lose service. It gets spotty but you'll find reception every now and then. At the beginning, there are a couple of vault toilets. The trail itself is difficult to follow without an offline map. There's only a handful of signs pointing in a general direction. And until the Wave, we were pretty much the only people around. Considering only about 60 people are approved each day, it wasn't surprising, and honestly, kind of nice to be alone in nature. The Wave was everything we hoped for. We had clear, blue skies and that contrast with the red and orange rocks was beautiful. It looked exactly like the Windows background! There was even a pond further up with a ton of tadpoles. Besides the Wave, there's other neat waypoints to stop by but because we were tired, we didn't try for many of them. The only one we went out of our way for was the dinosaur tracks but it was anti-climatic. They just looked like larger chicken feet prints. Despite this hike being only about 6 miles round trip, it took pretty much the entire day. We stopped a lot to take pictures but also the landscape was difficult to hike. Lots of sand to walk through and lots of weird inclines to walk across, which kept our feet, knees, and legs at weird angles. There might have been easier pathways but as I said earlier, there's no clear indications of a trail. There was also a BLM worker at the Wave asking for the permit holders. If you hike without one and get caught, you'll get slapped with some steep fines. Drones are also not allowed!

My friend won the online lottery for the permit 4 months in advance but after talking to the…read moreranger, it seems that there's a good chance you can win the daily lottery since a lot of people cancel every day. It's easier if you have less people (like two people). Anyways, the orientation the day before was useful for weather and road conditions. The hike wasn't too bad, can be a bit steep in some parts but for the most part, not too much incline. It's moderate for the novice hiker but easy for an experienced hiker. For experienced hikers, probably can get to the Wave in 1 to 1.5 hours. For the inexperienced, it might take 2.5 to 3 hours. Either way, if you're planning to spend a lot of time at the Wave (some people take 2-3 hours for their extensive Instagram photoshoots haha), definitely go there early and spend all day there. I would definitely come back if I win the lottery!

Upper Antelope Canyon - The Candle

Navajo scared ground. Hence our mandatory guide Rick who was so knowledgeable, warm, engaging and…read morefun. This in my humble opinion is and has become the top, must visit and see destination in Arizona. Let me try and explain why it surpasses the Grand Canyon. These gorgeous canyons were naturally carved over thousands of years by the combined forces of the eroding water via flash floods and the strong winds interacting with the sandstone. Hence behold these spectacular smooth natural flowing, swirling and narrow rock formations as our stellar guide and the others educated us via words, music and lyrics. The 70 minute tour in the afternoon( & earlier one around 10 am) is timed perfectly to coincide with the proper angles and intensity of the sun's rays as we made our way down to this wonderland. It was a lovely and breezy 80 degrees and maybe 70 ish when we got to the bottom. Please wear comfy sneakers. This beauty is in Page, Arizona just 271 miles north of Phoenix. I emphasis again this is a once in a lifetime event.

Our tour guide was a Navajo older and very friendly lady that did an excellent job, she not only gave a good explanation on the history of the Canyon and took some great pictures of us but also gave me a lecture on photography. It was a 10 minute ride from the place where you buy the tickets to where you meet your guide and from there the whole adventure is under a mile at an elevation of about 4K feet. Natural wonder not to be missed when in the area. Tickets were 55 per person and the whole tour took about 90 minutes. The place is managed by TAADIDIIN TOURS Internet is very spotty throughout Arizona, Utah and Colorado.

Absolutely worth the stop when visiting Horseshoe Bend! This place is such an incredible photo spot…read moreand truly one of those must-see locations when you're in the area. The views are unreal in person, and we took so many amazing pictures here. I came with a group of about 15-20 girls and we all had such a fun experience. The walk over was manageable, and once you get to the overlook, it's definitely one of those "wow" moments. It was $10 per car to enter, and unfortunately the America the Beautiful pass doesn't work here since it's separate from the national park system. Still, totally worth the fee for the experience and views. The only thing I wasn't too crazy about were the bathrooms -- definitely different from what I'm used to at California national parks. I was very glad I brought my own flushable wipes just in case. But honestly, that didn't take away from the experience at all. If you're anywhere near Page or the Grand Canyon area, this is absolutely a must-stop destination!

He had been here many…read moreyears ago and mentioned that the area has changed quite a bit since then--there's now an updated parking lot, an admission fee, and a paved trail leading to the overlook. He also noticed that the shape of Horseshoe Bend itself looks different compared to before, likely due to erosion over time. It feels like the landscape is slowly changing, and eventually it may not look the same as it once did. I'd say it's worth visiting if you have the chance--otherwise, you might miss seeing it as it is today before time continues to reshape it.
