Full description
Lower Antelope Canyon is a popular natural landmark in Page, and this guided hike lets you explore it with a local Navajo guide. As you walk, you'll admire the slot canyon's colorful walls and its fascinating forms and textures.
After you check in at the meeting point, you'll meet your guide and set out on the trek into the canyon.
Along the way, your guide shares interesting facts, such as where the canyon's English name comes from and how the views keep changing as the sun moves. Guides are trained to help visitors take photos and to share the cultural history of the land and how the canyon was formed.
The canyon's structures were created over millions of years by the relentless forces of water and wind, which slowly carved and sculpted the sandstone into the forms, textures, and shapes you'll see on your hike.
At the end of the hike, you'll return to the meeting point.
