We'll board at your booked departure time and set off on an unforgettable adventure. Our journey begins with a 25-30 minute drive along private dirt roads in the Navajo Nation, where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the picturesque Vermillion Cliffs and sandstone mesas. Though the distance is not far, we drive at a leisurely pace to let you take in the beauty of the surroundings.
Upon arriving at the Secret Antelope Canyon parking area, your guide will provide a brief introduction covering the dos and don’ts of the canyon. From there, enjoy a short 0.3-mile nature walk into the canyon. You'll be amazed by the stunning striations, curves, and colors carved into the sandstone walls. Your guide will share fascinating insights about the canyon and point out the best spots for capturing incredible photos. After exploring the canyon, we’ll return to the parking area to board the vehicle.
Next, we’ll take a 20-minute drive to an exclusive viewing spot of Horseshoe Bend, located on the Navajo Nation, bypassing the congested public access trail. Here, you’ll have a shorter and more intimate walk to the rim, where you can soak in panoramic views of the Colorado River winding around the iconic bend. Your guide will provide interesting information about the area and ensure everyone has ample opportunities for photos.
