Explore Lower Antelope Canyon to have the opportunity to hike through a slot canyon that is more than 100 feet deep. Definitely a bucketlist item to check off your list.

The Lower Antelope Canyon is only explored with a guided tour. However, while this might feel like bad news, this helps control the traffic of people throughout the canyon. Also, the guides leading you through the canyon are very laid back and relaxed. When you drive to the pin you have two options of guide services that you can use. Prices are the same for both and range from the regular $20 tour to the $42 photographers tour. Tickets do not include the $8 Navajo Nation Permit fee.

Lower Antelope Canyon seems to be the least popular of the two slot canyons. Lower Antelope Canyon is underground and twice as long as Upper Antelope Canyon. The entrance to Lower Antelope Canyon requires you to take a steep staircase to the floor of the canyon and gets you more than 100 feet below the surface. The canyon is 1,335 feet long. The first room is the best spot for photographing a light beam (Tip: Throwing up sand in the air allows the light beam to show up better).

One of the coolest places on Earth. Sometimes the crowds can get large, but the trick is to take it slow and hold to the very back of your group if you don't want to listen to your guide. It gives you a bit more time to explore without feeling rushed. Wouldn't recommend this place if you're claustrophobic though!

This is one of the coolest places I've ever been! Amazing colors when the sun is shining down into the canyon. This is definitely a must see if your visiting in Page or nearby.

Hike through Mountain Sheep Canyon

As its name suggests, Mountain Sheep Canyon offers a rugged feel and more strenuous hike than the other slot canyons in the neighborhood (Antelope Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon). The trek is longer than it is for the other canyons (about three-quarters of a mile), and there is quite a bit of scaling ladders along the way. The ladders are all secured to the rock, but a few of the climbs might be...

Photograph Rattlesnake Canyon

Rattlesnake Canyon is an add-on to the ever-popular Antelope Canyon photography tour. Both canyons are on Navajo land and only accessible by guided tour.The advantage to Rattlesnake Canyon is that only one tour company is allowed to operate there and they only take one group at a time. Our group had nine people, so the nine of us had the canyon to ourselves.You access the entrance to the cany...

Antelope Canyon

Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona, and requires you to book a tour guide. But don’t let that dissuade you – this natural marvel is well worth it, and this is a must-do for amateur and professional photographers alike. The canyon is divided into two primary areas: Upper Antelope Canyo...

Hike the Page Mesa Trail

The best way to loop is counter-clockwise, to avoid unnecessary uphill distance. The trail features wonderful wildflowers in the spring, and is open year round. The Page Mesa Trail typically takes between 1 and 3 hours to hike. The trail is also a fabulous location for mountain biking and is dog friendly! Maps are available at the Page Chamber of Commerce.

Hike Cathedral Canyon

Cathedral Canyon is located just south of Page, Arizona and west of Coppermine Road and is entirely on Navajo Land, so access is possible only by permission from a local or with a permit from one of the licensed tour companies, of which Chief Tsosi is currently the only one permitted to give permits. The Canyon itself is accessible by numerous 4WD and high-clearance 2WD roads off Coppermine Roa...

Kayak Antelope Canyon

Antelope Canyon is perhaps the most well-known and most photographed slot canyon in the United States. But many people probably don’t realize that you can also kayak a portion of the canyon. Just five miles north of Lower Antelope Canyon on BIA Highway N22B is access to Lake Powell. From here, you can kayak the 2.5 miles from Antelope Point through Antelope Canyon. The water in the canyon e...
