THE ANSWER: Book a tour in advance for first thing in the morning (7am) so you can enjoy the canyon without the riff raff or the heat! Oh, and of course, don't go when it's raining to avoid flash floods. We asked the tour guides and they suggested we reschedule for first thing tomorrow morning. Tim and I booked at tour at 3pm, showed up next to loads of buses and were told tours were running late and we wouldn’t get getting into the canyon for 2 hours. Also, tour buses have found the canyon and drop off several loads of buses during peek hours. It’s insanely hot in the summer, especially mid afternoon and you have to wait outside for your tour time to be called. When to go: This being said, here’s the MOST important information. The lower canyon is better in the morning when the sun is just coming in and the upper canyon is better mid afternoon to get the bright rays of sun. We chose the classic Lower Antelope Canyon Tours because they had availability.Ĭanyon Options: There are 2 options, lower and upper. If you have a fancy camera you can book a photography tour, but everyone has to have a camera and a tripod. There are a bunch of different companies, which all pretty much do the same 1-hour tour. We stayed at the Motel 6, the cheapest option around, which was still $180!Īccess: Because the Canyon is on an Indian reserve, the only way to see it is though a “guided tour”. Lodging: There are no campground close by, and if it’s summer time, it’s blazing hot so opt for lodging with AC. Although not nearly as grand as the park in CO, it was still pretty awesome to take in a canyon filled with loads of bright pink sand! Imagine all of the sand that the wind whips off of Zion and Bryce, and put it here!Ī couple of tips we learned about Antelope Canyon that are important to share, should you ever make the trek: Super intrigued after seeing the National Sand Dunes parks in Colorado, we decided to take the almost dirt road 15 miles off our route to check it out. Having seen the incredible photos, we were super pumped to take a tour ourselves and enjoy the sights of the crazy cool shapes and colors inside the canyon.Įnroute to Arizona, we spotted a small sign on the side of the road that read “ Coral Sand Dunes”. This small crack in the earth, known as a slot canyon, was super under wraps to tourists until the late 90's, when National Geographic published a photo of the canyon on the cover of their magazine and figured out that the famouS desktop wallpaper was not from the Grand Canyon. The canyon is located just over the Arizona state line, near the city of Page, on Navajo Indian land. My brother suggested Lake Powell and after investigating a bit further, I realized that although we wouldn’t have time to actually enjoy the lake, but we would have time to check out Antelope Canyon! You may remember a photo of this piece of rock from the now "vintage" Microsoft desktop wallpaper. Tim and I were initially at a loss of where to stop to break up our 10-hour drive to Telluride.
