Website Directions 928-698-2808

Located near Page, Arizona—about two and a half hours from the Grand Canyon—Antelope Canyon is a world-renowned slot canyon on Navajo Nation land. Carved by flash flooding, its swirling red sandstone walls create a mesmerizing landscape for travelers. The canyon consists of Upper and Lower sections, both accessible strictly via licensed guided tours.

Quick tip: Book your guided tour well in advance, as entry without an authorized Navajo guide is prohibited and spots fill quickly.
