Full description

Antelope Canyon X shows you the quieter, more intimate side of Antelope Canyon. This guided visit takes you through two slot canyons on Navajo land, away from the large crowds often found at other Antelope Canyon locations.

The canyon gets its name from the distinctive "X" shapes carved into the sandstone by millions of years of wind and water erosion. The result is a hidden gem full of breathtaking rock formations, vibrant colors, and photo opportunities around every turn.

Your Navajo guide leads you through the canyon's winding corridors, sharing stories, history, and cultural insights that bring the landscape to life. Because groups are smaller and there are fewer visitors, you'll have more time to admire the canyon, take photographs, and enjoy a relaxed, personal experience.
