About
Your day begins with a scenic drive up Oak Creek Canyon (Sedona departures only) and views of Arizona’s highest mountains, the San Francisco Peaks. Next, we leave tall pine forests and travel onto the Navajo Nation for a stop at historic Cameron Trading Post with its impressive collection of souvenirs and Native American arts and crafts. Along the way, you’ll have views of the colorful Painted Desert cliffs in the distance as well as the Little Colorado River. Your guide will share information about the surrounding scenery, the Navajo people and their culture as you travel.
The day continues with a 1.5 mile round trip hike to Horseshoe Bend where you can view a unique meander of the Colorado River far below. Afterward, enjoy a delicious lunch and a view of the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. With over 1,200 miles of shoreline, the lake is a spectacular site.
The crown of the day is a visit to Lower Antelope Canyon with a 1 mile hike with a Native American guide. This lower section of this corkscrew canyon requires a bit more effort but the reward is fewer visitors and a more intimate experience. The unique water and wind carved sandstone walls change color as the angle of light changes throughout the day. This portion of the canyon has a north/south orientation so light strikes some portion of the walls during most of the day. Your guide will talk about the formation of the slot canyon and offer suggestions for taking the best photos along the way.
Highlights include visiting two of the most stunning Southwest vistas, both Horseshoe Bend and Lower Antelope Canyon. You will walk out to Horseshoe Bend, which sits above the winding Colorado River, to get amazing photos and see why this vista got its name. In the afternoon, you will be astounded by the views in Lower Antelope Canyon, which change constantly as the sun moves across the sky, filtering lights softly across the stone walls. You will experience the beautiful color palette on the sandstone walls at the best time of day. Complimentary lunch included.
