First stop, Antelope Canyon

For this trip, there are three Antelope Canyons to choose from:

Optional item: Upper Antelope Canyon

The Upper Antelope Canyon is called Ts bighnln, the place where water runs through rocks' by the Navajo People in that specific area. It is the most frequently visited by tourists because its entrance and entire length are at ground level. And because beams of direct sunlight radiating down from openings at the top of the canyon are much more common. Beams occur most often in summer, as they require the sun to be high in the sky.

Optional item: Lower Antelope Canyon

The Lower Antelope Canyon, called Hazdistaz, or 'spiral rock arches' by the Navajo, is located several miles from the Upper Antelope Canyon. Prior to the installation of metal stairways, visiting the canyon required climbing pre-installed ladders in certain areas. The lower canyon is in the shape of a "V" and shallower than the Upper Antelope. Lighting is better in the early hours and late morning.

Optional item: Mountain Sheep Slot Canyon

On this particular tour, we will focus on the Mountain Sheep Slot Canyon. This is an off the beaten path trail, lesser known gorge, with a slightly more strenuous hike - which leads to a more private experience than other Slot tours in the area. The canyons are known for their distinctive, undulating walls and its rich, varied colors. It is a popular destination for hikers and photographers, who come to explore its winding corridors and capture its beauty on camera.

The second stop is Horseshoe Bend.

Horseshoe Bend is a superb example of an entrenched meander. Six million years ago, the region around Horseshoe Bend was much closer to sea level, and the Colorado River was a meandering river with a nearly level floodplain. Between six and five million years ago, the region began to be uplifted. This trapped the Colorado River in its bed, and the river rapidly cut downwards to produce Horseshoe Bend as we see it today.

The last stop: Glen Canyon Dam Overlook

A short hike down a set of rock-carved stairs leads to this viewpoint on the rim of the river & dam. This short walk takes you to a viewpoint on the canyon rim high above the Colorado River. It affords an unparalleled view of the river, the canyon, and Glen Canyon Dam. This scenic view provides spectacular vistas of the Colorado River as it flows through Glen Canyon and of Glen Canyon Dam itself. From the parking area, follow the metal handrail down the uneven rock steps.

Finally, we will drive you back to your hotel to finish this pleasant half day tour.
