Hi Regina,
It is not possible to “book a time” to see The Wave, with one exception… more on that in a minute.
To get a hiking permit for The Wave, go to Recreation.gov four (4) months in advance of your desired hike date and submit an application for a Coyote Buttes North permit. You would be informed by email the first day of the subsequent month as to whether your application was successful.
Since chances are statistically poor that you’ll be chosen for a Wave permit in the advance lottery, you also have the opportunity to apply for a permit via an in-person lottery, held two (2) days prior to your desired hike date. To take part in this, you will need to be within a prescribed area (aka a “geofence”) of the towns of Page, AZ, or Kanab, UT. Applications are only accepted via smartphone, on the Recreation.gov app. If you are chosen, you would be informed by the evening of the day you applied, and would be required to attend a safety briefing the following morning. The next day, enjoy the hike.
In the likely event you are unsuccessful in obtaining a Wave permit via the advance (four months prior) or in-person (two days prior) lotteries, the only other option you would have for seeing the Wave is to fly over it. Fixed-wing airplanes and helicopters depart from the Page Municipal Airport daily, weather permitting. Although theoretically you could book a particular departure time, air tour operators ask that you be prepared to get to the airport first thing in the morning so your flight is less likely to disturb hikers on the trail, who come here for peace and solitude this coveted hiking permit promises. At the present time, the majority of air tour operators at the Page airport fly over the Wave on a charter basis, but Antelope Air (fixed-wing airplane operator), advertises flights over The Wave as a regular feature of their tour offerings.

Good luck and safe travels,

Hi Jenifer,
Apologies for the delay in response to your inquiry.
There are two companies who offer Lower Antelope Canyon tours:
– Dixie Ellis’ Antelope Lower Canyon Tours www.antelopelowercanyon.com 928-640-1761
– Ken’s Lower Antelope Canyon Tours www.lowerantelope.com 928-645-6997

– Antelope Canyon X, a very scenic two-part slot canyon bearing similarities to both Upper AND Lower https://bit.ly/Antelope-Canyon-X
– Waterholes Canyon, located approximately 8 miles South of Page, AZ https://waterholecanyonexperience.com/
– Antelope Valley Canyons, including Ligai Si Anii, Wind Pebble, Ram’s Head, and Deer Canyons, located in LeChee, AZ, approximately 30 minutes Southeast of Page, AZ https://antelopecanyon.az/antelope-canyon-valley-tours/

Hi Meredith,
Total honesty here? You’re kind of late in planning for the Christmas-New Year’s holiday. Many hotels, tours, etc., have been booked up for that timeframe for months now, so don’t be surprised if you have to resort to “plan B” or even “plan C” to make things work. Another potential issue is weather. Christmas-New Year’s is wintertime, which means colder weather and the possibility of snow, especially in the higher elevations such as Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, etc. Heavy snowstorms can sometimes result in road closures as well. Start monitoring local weather about 2 weeks out, be prepared to pack warmer clothing, and shift plans on short notice should you get delayed or detoured by severe weather.
Using Las Vegas, NV, as your staging city, you could do something like this:
Day 1 – Early flight to Las Vegas, drive to St. George, UT (~2.5 hours), with a stop at Valley of Fire State Park (stunning area!), optional hike to the Fire Wave, overnight in St. George, UT.
Day 2 – Visit Johnson Farm Dinosaur Discovery Site, where thousands of fossilized dinosaur prints are in an excellent state of preservation plus an excellent on-site museum. Drive on to Springdale, UT, (~45 minutes), check into hotel, utilize Zion Canyon Shuttle to access the main scenic area of Zion National Park. Possible hikes, time/desire/weather conditions permitting: Emerald Pools, Riverside Walk, Scouts Lookout. Overnight in Springdale, UT (or Hurricane, UT, if Springdale is sold out and/or too pricey during the holidays).
Day 3 – Drive to Bryce Canyon National Park (~2 hours), sightseeing on the Scenic Loop Drive, optional hikes to Mossy Cave or the Bristlecone Loop, overnight in Bryce Canyon area (or Kanab, UT, if lodging in that area is already sold out).
Day 4 – Drive to Page, AZ (~2.5 hours), optional hike to Paria Rimrocks/Toadstool Hoodoos, stop at Big Water Visitors Center & Dinosaur Museum, where you can see some impressive displays of fossils and other geological discoveries from the local area. Overnight in Page, AZ (1st of 2)
Day 5 – Page, AZ: Tour Antelope Canyon, visit Horseshoe Bend, hike to the Shell Cave aka the Antelope Cavern aka the Wave Chamber (it hasn’t been officially named yet LOL), the Hanging Garden, the New Wave, 2nd night in Page **Note that reservations are required to visit Antelope Canyon and tours of the Upper and Lower branch may be sold out. If you find that to be the case, consider alternatives such as Antelope Canyon X, Waterholes Canyon, or the Antelope Valley Canyons by Ligai Si Anii Tours***
Day 6 – Drive to Grand Canyon South Rim (~2.5+ hours), optional detour to Moenkopi/Moenave Dinosaur Track Site near Tuba City, breakfast/brunch at Cameron Trading Post, stop at Grand Canyon overlooks between Desert View and Grand Canyon Village, overnight in Grand Canyon area
Day 7 – Drive back to Las Vegas (~5 hours), optional stop at Hoover Dam, overnight in Las Vegas or fly home.
Custom Trip Map
A couple of pointers: drive times given are direct drive, meaning wheels turning, no stops. That rarely happens because all drives are very scenic and you will be stopping to take pictures more often than you realize. A good rule of thumb would be to pad drive time estimates by 25-40%, perhaps even doubling them. On the trip leg between Page, AZ, and the Grand Canyon, for example, the section of the Desert View/East Rim Drive from Desert View Point to Grand Canyon Village alone could take you about 2.5 hours to fully explore as there are over half a dozen named viewpoints of the Grand Canyon in this area. They all offer differing perspectives and dominant features, so they’re all worth a stop.
Also, at the time of year you’re visiting, it’s very important to be aware of when the sun rises and sets. Driving in the dark is strongly discouraged in this part of the US due to local roads being very dimly lit, and the possibility of encountering deer, elk, and even livestock animals. A collision with a large animal is not something you want to experience in an unfamiliar area that’s pitch black, freezing cold, where cell service is spotty (IF you can get any bars at all), and help will be a long time coming, not to mention VERY expensive. In late December, sunrise occurs at approximately 7:40 am and sunset takes place at 5:20 pm Arizona/Utah time. Las Vegas will be one hour “behind”. Point being is to keep an eye on the time and make sure that you arrive at your destination for the evening well before nightfall.
Hope that helps! Please contact us at reservations@antelopecanyon.az if you have further questions.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂

Hello may I be added to this list as well? For 2025 bookings?

Hi Gerry,
Sorry, but that’s a hard no, not just in Lower, but in all of the Antelope Canyons.
Lower Antelope Canyon requires descending the equivalent of 5 flights of stairs to enter, and a similar incline for egress. Plus there’s also some light boulder scrambling and a few smaller ladders to manage once you are within the canyon. Watch this full walk-through video to see what I’m referring to.
Other branches of Antelope Canyon, such as Upper, may offer up flatter terrain, but mobility aids such as wheelchairs, strollers, scooters, etc., remain forbidden due to sand and other obstacles which may hinder operation of your device.
If a walking tour is out of the question, consider an Antelope Canyon Boat Tour on Lake Powell. For more information on these, contact Antelope Point Marina at 928-645-5900 or visit www.AntelopePointLakePowell.com
Good luck and safe travels,

Hi Michelle,
December definitely has the possibility of wintry weather, most likely rain, but snow is known to occur.
Should weather render conditions in Lower Antelope Canyon dangerous in any way, your tour may be cancelled. Should that happen, you would be given the option of rescheduling your tour or receiving a refund of your tickets.
In any case, conditions will be cold at that time of year, so be prepared by packing a jacket, gloves, hat, and other warmer items of clothing. Dress in layers that you can easily take off and stash in a backpack if weather is fair.
Hope that helps! Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂

November 12, 2024 at 2:26 PM

Hi Jenifer,
Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon tours must be booked and paid for separately at this time.
The key to making both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon tours work on the same day is having at least a 60-90 minute “buffer” between the conclusion of one tour, and the check-in time for the other.
For example, the 8.15 AM Upper Antelope Canyon tour (check-in 7.30 am) would conclude at around 9.45 AM. That would give you only 15 minutes to transition to the 10.45 AM Lower Antelope Canyon tour, which would require check-in at 10.00 AM. That’s not much time, and should the Upper tour run late for any reason, you would risk being late for the check-in for Lower and forfeiting your spot on the tour, not to mention what you paid for your tickets. A better choice would be the 11.45 AM Lower Antelope Canyon tour, which requires that you check-in at 11:00 AM. That gives you 1 hour and 15 minutes from when the 8.15 am tour of Upper Antelope wraps up, during which you could grab a bite to eat, freshen up a bit, or do a little shopping.
Another option would be to take the 10.45 Lower Canyon tour, which requires check-in at 10.00 AM, and would conclude at approximately 12:15 PM. The 2:30 PM Upper Antelope Canyon would require you to check-in at 1:45 PM, which would give you 90 minutes to transition from the Lower Antelope Canyon site to downtown Page, AZ.
Check-in for the Upper Antelope Canyon tour takes place at Chief Tsosie’s storefront at 55 S. Lake Powell Boulevard in downtown Page, AZ. Dixie’s Lower Antelope Canyon Tours check-in is at the Lower Antelope Canyon site itself, which is about 20 minutes Southeast of the town of Page, AZ. To compare side-by-side availability on your desired date, visit AntelopeCanyon.AZ: Upper & Lower Antelope Canyons
Hope that helps! Please contact us directly at reservations@antelopecanyon.az if you have further questions.

**The following SHOULD NOT be interpreted in any way as medical advice. Any questions or concerns about the feasibility of any of the activities mentioned during pregnancy should be discussed with a medical professional.**

Hi Wil!
Congratulations on your coming bundle of joy 🥰
Pregnant women are discouraged from touring Lower Antelope Canyon due to its physical requirements (equivalent of 5 flights of stairs for entry and egress, mild boulder scrambling, etc.)
Though Upper Antelope Canyon itself is a relatively easy walk, there is now a 1/2 mile long series of steps and walkways one must navigate from the exit of the canyon, over a ridge, and back to the tour vehicle parking area. Everyone must be able to manage this walk; no exceptions. Another aspect that could render this activity potentially unsafe for pregnant women is the rather bumpy ride from the Tribal Park entrance back to the canyon itself.
Women in the later stages of pregnancy are encouraged NOT to take part in this activity. The Antelope Canyon tour companies also go so far as to discourage pregnant women from participating, and reserve the right to forbid anyone from taking part in a tour if they feel it could jeopardize their safety.
I encourage you to discuss this matter with your OB/GYN. You might show them this video of the Upper Antelope Canyon walkway you would have to manage at the conclusion of the tour.
If you and your physician decide you must not take part in the Upper Antelope Canyon tour due to the physical requirements, you might consider approaching the task from another angle, and that’s taking a boat tour of the waterside of Antelope Canyon. Boat tours are offered by Antelope Point Marina. Though these do not involve any physical exertion, there is the issue of seasickness which can be exacerbated during pregnancy. If you wish to explore this option – again, with your doctor’s approval – try for a morning tour as that is when the waters of Lake Powell tend to be less choppy. For more information, click on the link above. FYI, there is a long, steep path from the parking lot to the boat ramp of Antelope Point Marina, but personnel in golf carts may be engaged to give you a ride there and back; gratuities are appreciated for this service.
Hope that helps! Please feel free to contact us at reservations@antelopecanyon.az if we can answer any other questions for you.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂

Hi Judy,
Thank you for visiting our site.
The good news is that there is no such thing as a bad time to tour the canyon! Spring in Northern Arizona is typically nice, but the occasional “last gasp” of winter weather does manage to sneak through from time to time. Personally, my favorite time of year is late September through early October. Temperatures are cooling, crowds are thinning, but all popular activities are still running.

Hi Jennifer,
Inventory for 2025 Antelope Canyon tours is expected to be available for booking in a few weeks. In the meantime, we will place your name on our priority contact list so you will be notified as soon as you can make reservations!
As to whether you can tour both Upper and Lower depends on what dates in January you are planning to visit. Lower Antelope Canyon closes for two weeks’ time in January for annual maintenance and cleaning. In 2025, the closure dates will be Monday, January 13 through Sunday, January 26. Should your visit occur outside those dates, The key to making both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon tours work on the same day is having at least a 60-90 minute “buffer” between the conclusion of one tour, and the check-in time for the other.

Hi Susan,
Thank you so much for your inquiry. I do apologize for the delay in reply.
It sounds as though you know a lot about the area already, so that puts you at an advantage from the get!
If, as you say, you are “free to fly out anytime after August,” I would suggest scheduling your visit for mid-October. That time of year offers wonderful hiking weather, which you’ll definitely appreciate should you be successful in obtaining permits for The Wave.
In the likely event you strike out on Wave permits (gotta be honest, the odds are pretty slim, but there might still be a way for you to see it; more on that in a minute) and you are wanting to find some alternative hikes that feature similar scenery to The Wave without the permit requirement, here’s what I would suggest:
Day 1: Fly to Las Vegas, overnight in Las Vegas
Day 2: Drive to St. George, UT (~2.5 hours), detour through Valley of Fire State Park (stunning area!) to hike the easy Fire Wave Trail, overnight in St. George
Day 3: 2nd day/night in St. George, UT to hike Yant Flat aka the Candy Cliffs, ~1 hour drive from St. George, another area with beautiful Wave-like rock formations, but no permit required. Should you get done exploring that area early enough, you might also visit Snow Canyon State Park, Red Cliffs Reserve, Petroglyph Park, just to name a few. If either of you are into vintage airplanes, the Western Sky Warbird Museum is an unexpected pleasure!
Day 4: Drive to Zion National Park, ~1 hour from St. George, UT. Overnight at the Zion Lodge if you can get reservations; if not, then overnight in Springdale or Hurricane. Springdale is the hub for the Zion Canyon Shuttle, which you would be required to utilize if you do not stay in the park. Hike Emerald Pools, Riverside Walk, the Grotto, or if you want something a little more challenging, try Scout’s Lookout or go a short ways into the Narrows (water levels permitting). 10 Best Hikes in Zion
Day 5: 2nd day/night in Zion, hit trails you may have missed on Day 1 there, or take a day trip to the Kolob Canyon section of the park.
Day 6: Drive to Bryce Canyon (~3 hours from Springdale), hike Mossy Cave, Bristlecone Loop Trails, or one of many other beautiful trails in the park; or take the scenic drive or free shuttle to various canyon viewpoints, overnight in Bryce Canyon area.
Day 7: Drive to Kanab, UT early (~1 hour from Bryce Canyon), take a guided tour of White Pocket. White Pocket is another one of those areas that’s amazingly beautiful and (knock on wood) doesn’t require permits to visit – YET. The hiking involved is not very difficult, it’s the drive to the trailhead that has left many visitors stranded with a very expensive tow and/or repair bill. Hiring a guide to White Pocket is strongly recommended. Overnight in Kanab, UT.
Day 8: Drive to Page, AZ, optional stop to hike the Paria Rimrocks/Toadstool Hoodoos. Tour Antelope Canyon in the afternoon (we will put your name on the 2025 priority contact list and notify you as soon as 2025 booking inventory opens up), overnight in Page, AZ.
Day 9: Fixed wing airplane flight over the Wave from the Page Municipal Airport. Afterwards, head to Grand Canyon South Rim, stopping at Horseshoe Bend on the way out of town (allow 60-90 minutes to park, walk to the rim, take photos, walk back to parking lot). Total drive time factoring in stops such as Horseshoe Bend, Cameron Trading Post, Grand Canyon viewpoints between Desert View and Grand Canyon Village: ~4.5-6 hours. Overnight at Grand Canyon South Rim.
Day 10: return to Las Vegas (~5 hour drive), fly home
Custom Trip Map
If you luck out on getting a Wave permit, then your itinerary would need to revolve and evolve around the day your are granted for the hike. The application for October hiking permits is the month of June. It is also possible to apply for a walk-in permit 2 days before your desired hike date, but you would have to physically be within a certain radius of Kanab, UT, or Page, AZ. For more information on Wave permits, visit our partner site, www.TheWaveAZ.com
As for where to book hotels, staying inside the parks is always most desirable, especially at Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon. However, these are always the first hotels to fill once inventory is made available for booking. Fortunately, there are gateway communities (small cities or towns located within close proximity to the park(s)) where you might find prices more reasonable, availability more flexible, and more amenities to your liking. For Zion, the gateway communities on the Western border of the park are Springdale and Hurricane. On the Eastern side, Kanab, UT, is a conveniently located not only for Zion, but Bryce Canyon. For Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, Page, AZ, has over 2 dozen hotels in varying price points and amenity classes, from Motel 6 to Marriott and pretty much everything in between. Tusayan, AZ, is the closest gateway community to Grand Canyon South Rim (~7 miles from the park entrance) and has 5 hotels to choose from.
Hope that helps! If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me directly at reservations@antelopecanyon.az
Good luck and safe travels,

**The following SHOULD NOT be interpreted in any way as medical advice. Any questions or concerns about the feasibility of any of the activities mentioned during pregnancy should be discussed with a medical professional.**

Hi Jessica!
Congratulations on your coming bundle of joy 🥰
Though Upper Antelope Canyon itself is a relatively easy walk, there is now a 1/2 mile long series of steps and walkways one must navigate from the exit of the canyon, over a ridge, and back to the tour vehicle parking area. Everyone must be able to manage this walk; no exceptions. Another aspect that could render this activity potentially unsafe for pregnant women is the rather bumpy ride from the Tribal Park entrance back to the canyon itself.
Women in the later stages of pregnancy are encouraged NOT to take part in this activity. The Antelope Canyon tour companies also go so far as to discourage pregnant women from participating, and reserve the right to forbid anyone from taking part in a tour if they feel it could jeopardize their safety.
I encourage you to discuss this matter with your OB/GYN. You might show them this video of the Upper Antelope Canyon walkway you would have to manage at the conclusion of the tour.
If you and your physician decide you must not take part in the Upper Antelope Canyon tour due to the physical requirements, you might consider approaching the task from another angle, and that’s taking a boat tour of the waterside of Antelope Canyon. Boat tours are offered by Antelope Point Marina. Though these do not involve any physical exertion, there is the issue of seasickness which can be exacerbated during pregnancy. If you wish to explore this option – again, with your doctor’s approval – try for a morning tour as that is when the waters of Lake Powell tend to be less choppy. For more information, click on the link above. FYI, there is a long, steep path from the parking lot to the boat ramp of Antelope Point Marina, but personnel in golf carts may be engaged to give you a ride there and back; gratuities are appreciated for this service.
Hope that helps! Please feel free to contact us at reservations@antelopecanyon.az if we can answer any other questions for you.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂

Hi Zheng,
It depends on which branch of the Antelope Canyons you tour, and the tour company. It also matters whether you intend to tour this year, or in 2025.
Lower Antelope Canyon, for example, charges the same price for both adults and children over the age of 4. For pricing of Lower Antelope Canyon tours, click here
Our preferred partner for Upper Antelope Canyon tours does not permit children under 6, but three (3) of the five Upper Antelope Canyon tour providers do allow younger children and offer a small reduction in price. Ekis Antelope Canyon Tours
If you were to tour one of the alternate segments of Antelope Canyon, prices vary widely, as do their policies on admitting children. For more information, visit Antelope Canyon Alternative Tours
Good luck and safe travels,

Hi Cha David,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but payment at the gate is no longer allowed.
All Antelope Canyon Tour tickets must be paid for at the time of reservation. Even though your credit card is issued by a Korean bank, it should be OK for paying for your tickets. Check your statement to see if the charges were processed correctly. If you have any doubts, please contact the tour company you made your reservations with to discuss what options might be available.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂

October 03, 2024 at 12:25 PM

Hi Chris,
If everything runs on time, that will give you 45 minutes to drive from the Lower Antelope Canyon site to Chief Tsosie’s Antelope Slot Canyon Tours for a 2:00 pm check-in. That should be OK.
If you wanted to play it extra safe, you could look into moving your Lower Antelope tour to an earlier time, or your Upper tour to a later time. At the present time, the only earlier time slot available for Lower Antelope on Monday, October 14, would be 7.45 am (7.00 am check-in). If you wanted to move your Upper tour, you would need to contact Chief Tsosie’s Antelope Slot Canyon Tours at 928-645-5594 or by email at chieftsosie@yahoo.com
If you have any questions for me, please contact me at reservations@antelopecanyon.az

How wide are the slots in lower canyon? Are they easy to walk through?

November 25, 2024 at 10:39 PM

Hi Chris,
Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon are the most popular segments of Antelope Canyon for tourists, so they are busy during peak travel season (March through October). If you wish to avoid the crowds, your options are to a. visit during the off-season, which runs between November and February, with the exception of holiday periods, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Martin Luther King and Presidents’ Day; or b. visit one of the alternate slot canyons in Page, AZ, that are just as beautiful as Upper and Lower Antelope, but less crowded. For more information on these, check out Antelope Canyon Alternative Tours.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂

September 30, 2024 at 12:05 PM

Hi Tuhina,
Any time slot between 11 am and 3 pm would offer good lighting in Lower Antelope Canyon. Your tour guide will help with tips for photography throughout the tour. Our 11.45 am time slot is our most popular. We also have a block at 2.15 pm that is well-attended.
Whatever you decide, you must make reservations for a tour ASAP. Mid-October is a great time to be here, and it’s no secret any longer!

Hey Charlie,
Fall break is a great time to be here. And you’ll be happy to know that lots of ladies like yourself visit Page, AZ, solo and have a perfectly wonderful time!
If you’re in good shape, you should be able to handle Lower Antelope Canyon. To be certain, you might take a look at this full walk-through video of the canyon. Note that the people in the video are carrying purses, backpacks, etc., but that is no longer allowed. Also, disregard any pricing information; the video is a few years old. To check availability for both Upper & Lower Antelope Canyon, click here. Do make reservations soon, you are visiting at a very popular time of year.
For horseback riding in the area, visit Horseshoe Bend Trail Rides or Tower Butte Trail Rides.
As for where to stay, there are many choices available in the town of Page, AZ, the closest town to Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. As for quality and price points, they run the gamut from Motel 6 to Marriott and everything in between. Whatever you choose, you’ll be just minutes away by car from both Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon, as well as other popular attractions in the area.
If you need further guidance, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at reservations@antelopecanyon.az I’m happy to help answer any questions you might have, and if I can’t answer them, I’ll steer you to someone who can.
Good luck and safe travels,

Hi Terrie,
If you’re referring to the Antelope Canyons, yes, they are open year-round, even on the holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc.
The only instance in which they would not be open is if hazardous weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow or abnormally strong winds occurred.
If you have any other questions about Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, or other attractions in the Southwest US, please contact us directly at reservations@antelopecanyon.az

Hi Tenzin,
Any package tour that goes to these sites typically includes all park entrance fees, which are Navajo Tribal Park for Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley, and the City of Page, AZ, for Horseshoe Bend. Some companies may require that these fees be paid in cash on the day of the tour, but if so, that should be specified in any confirmation email or other literature you receive.
No additional “permits” or permissions are required, but tours should be booked well in advance of your arrival.
Hope that helps. Please contact us at reservations@antelopecanyon.az if you have further questions.

August 20, 2024 at 8:38 PM

Hi VP,
Thank you for contacting us!
Using Flagstaff as a base for visiting Grand Canyon South Rim, I recommend taking the “long way in” to the park so you can get the most out of your sightseeing time. Proceed North on US89 to the town of Cameron, AZ. Stop at the Cameron Trading Post for breakfast/brunch, the breakfast Navajo Taco must be seen (and eaten) to be believed! Or save that time by pre-packing some provisions in your cooler the night prior or grabbing some fruit, pastries, etc., at your hotel breakfast bar. Even if you take me up on the latter option, at least stop at the Cameron Trading Post for a bathroom break/leg stretch or to top off your gas tank. It’s a historic place and something of a regional institution. From Cameron, proceed West on AZ64. Time/desire permitting, stops you might make before entering the park are the Little Colorado River Overlook and Chief Yellowhorse’s souvenir stands. Enter Grand Canyon National Park at Desert View Point and get your first look at the Grand Canyon “proper” from the Desert View Watchtower. Continuing West toward Grand Canyon Village (the main sightseeing and commerce area of the park), there are over half a dozen named Grand Canyon viewpoints you can stop at, all with varying perspectives and dominant features. Stop at as many as you wish. When you get to Grand Canyon Village, park your vehicle wherever you find space available and utilize the Village Loop Shuttle to get to the hotels, restaurants, and retail shops in the area. Or, you can drive your vehicle out to the overlooks on the West Rim Drive, aka the Hermit’s Rest Road.
The key to making that plan work at the time of year you’re visiting is to be aware of when sunrise and sunset are. On December 19, sunrise takes place at around 7:30 am and sunset occurs just before 5:15 pm. Leaving the park via the South gate, the drive to Flag (that’s what we call it around here) takes approximately 90 minutes, which means you’ll want to be on the road out of the park at approximately 3:45 pm, 4:00 pm at the latest. The reason this is so important is because nighttime driving is strongly discouraged in this part of the US. This is partly due to local roads being very dimly lit, but also the possibility of encountering deer, elk, livestock, and other animals which elevates your risk of a car accident. That’s definitely not something you want to experience in an unfamiliar area that’s pitch black, freezing cold, where help will be a long time coming, not to mention VERY expensive. Another factor that could affect your travel plans is winter weather. It’s not uncommon for it to be snowing at that time of year, so much so that it could result in road closures. Although that’s relatively rare, you should still keep an eye on local road conditions when you get here. Visit www.az511.gov or download the app on your phone before you make your trip.
In Page, AZ, winter is off-season, which definitely has its advantages, but one drawback is that water-based activities will be on seasonal hiatus, so those are effectively ruled out. Still, you’ll find lots of scenic, family-friendly hikes you can take part in, time and inclination permitting. These include, but are not limited to the Big Lake Sand Cave (aka the Wave Chamber), the New Wave, the Hanging Gardens, the Page Rim View Trail, and the Red Mesa Rim Trail.
On the drive to Las Vegas from Page, stops you can make along the way are the Big Water Visitors Center and Dinosaur Museum, ~20 minutes West of Page on US89, the Paria Rimrocks/Toadstool Hoodoos between Page, AZ, and Kanab, UT, and Valley of Fire State Park (stunning area!).
As for kid-friendly activities in Las Vegas, you’ll find a surprisingly large number of them! The Downtown Container Park in the Arts District, the arcades at Excalibur and Circus Circus, rollercoasters at the STRAT, and the Bellagio Fountains, all are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Note that some attractions may also be on seasonal hiatus at the time of your visit. For more suggestions check out VisitLasVegas.com: 26 Things To Do With Kids in Las Vegas
Hope that helps! Please contact us directly at reservations@antelopecanyon.az if you have further questions.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂

August 21, 2024 at 12:10 PM

Hi Trace,
If you’re referring to The Wave, then no, your tour guide would not need a permit.
Representatives of authorized tour companies are automatically “grandfathered” into the permit quota. However, you and your hiking party would still need to secure Coyote Buttes North permits for yourselves.
For more information, visit our partner site, www.TheWaveAZ.com!
Good luck and safe travels,

Hi John,
Mid-October is a great time to be here, and you should be able to visit Lower Antelope Canyon, Antelope Canyon X, and do a short boat tour on Lake Powell, however, doing all 3 activities may be pushing it in terms of time. Also, there is no single company that does all 3 of those exact tours, but there Dixie’s Lower Antelope Canyon Tours does offer a “trilogy” tour that includes Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon, plus an Antelope Canyon Boat Tour.
The specific Antelope Canyon tours you mention (Lower Antelope & Antelope X) are approximately 90 minutes in duration, but you also have to factor in advance check-in time of 30-45 minutes (per tour), transition time between meeting locations, and other logistics. Still, it’s not necessary to do more than one slot canyon tour in order to have a satisfying visit to Page, AZ. Another popular attraction you have not mentioned is Horseshoe Bend, which is a definite must. For Horseshoe Bend, you simply go at your leisure during regular operating hours of the parking lot, which are sunrise to sunset. We recommend allowing 60-90 minutes to park your vehicle, walk to the rim, take photos, then walk back to your vehicle.
For Lake Powell, you’ll want to keep any activity there on the shorter side, such as an Antelope Canyon Boat Tour, which typically lasts about 90 minutes.
The key to making this all work, especially if you’re driving to another location that same evening, is to know exactly when sunrise and sunset occur. In mid-October, the sun rises at ~6:30 am and sunset takes place just after 5:45 pm. If you’re driving to Flagstaff for the night, for example, that drive takes about 2.5-3 hours. This means you’ll want to be leaving Page, AZ, no later than 2.45 pm, 3:00 pm at the latest. The reason this is so important is because nighttime driving is strongly discouraged in this part of the US. This is partly due to local roads being very dimly lit, but also the possibility of encountering deer, elk, livestock, and other animals elevates your risk of a car accident. That’s definitely not something you want to experience in an unfamiliar area that’s pitch black, freezing cold (nighttime temps are starting to dip down around freezing at that time of year), where help will be a long time coming, not to mention VERY expensive.
Hope that helps! If you have further questions about Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, or general trip planning, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly at reservations@antelopecanyon.az
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂

Hi James,
Late September and early October will be similar in terms of weather, so “six of one, half a dozen of another” on that.
As for touring Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon, Antelope Canyon X, and Horseshoe Bend, yes, that would probably be a little much for one day. Besides, it’s not necessary to do all that in order to have a fulfilling visit to Page, AZ.
The afore-mentioned Antelope Canyon tours are approximately 90 minutes in duration, but you also have to factor in advance check-in time of 30-45 minutes (per tour), transition time between meeting locations, and other logistics. For Horseshoe Bend, you simply go at your leisure during regular operating hours of the parking lot, which are sunrise to sunset. We recommend allowing 60-90 minutes to park your vehicle, walk to the rim, take photos, then walk back to your vehicle.
Considering the time you are planning to visit, and the fact that daylength is reducing, you would probably be OK to tour both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend in the same day. The key to making both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon tours work on the same day is having at least a 60-90 minute “buffer” between the conclusion of one tour, and the check-in time for the other.
For example, the 8.15 AM Upper Antelope Canyon tour (check-in 7.30 am) would conclude at around 9.45 AM. That would give you only 15 minutes to transition to the 10.45 AM Lower Antelope Canyon tour, which would require check-in at 10.00 AM. That’s not much time, and should the Upper tour run late for any reason, you would risk being late for the check-in for Lower and forfeiting your spot on the tour, not to mention what you paid for your tickets. A better choice would be the 11.45 AM Lower Antelope Canyon tour, which requires that you check-in at 11:00 AM. That gives you 1 hour and 15 minutes from when the 8.15 am tour of Upper Antelope wraps up, during which you could grab a bite to eat, freshen up a bit, or do a little shopping.
Another option would be to take the 10.45 Lower Canyon tour, which requires check-in at 10.00 AM, and would conclude at approximately 12:15 PM. The 2:30 PM Upper Antelope Canyon would require you to check-in at 1:45 PM, which would give you 90 minutes to transition from the Lower Antelope Canyon site to downtown Page, AZ.
Check-in for the Upper Antelope Canyon tour is required 30 minutes prior to departure and takes place at our preferred tour partner’s location, Chief Tsosie’s storefront at 55 S. Lake Powell Boulevard in downtown Page, AZ. Dixie’s Lower Antelope Canyon Tours requires that guests check-in 45 minutes prior to tour at the Lower Antelope Canyon site itself, which is about 20 minutes Southeast of the town of Page, AZ.
To compare side-by-side availability on your desired date, visit AntelopeCanyon.AZ: Upper & Lower Antelope Canyons
Hope that helps!

August 05, 2024 at 1:39 PM

Hi Mei,
The quick answer to that is “no.”
Antelope Canyon tours require that you meet at a designated location: either a storefront in the town of Page, AZ, or the Navajo Tribal Park Entrance on highway US98, approximately 20 minutes Southeast of the town of Page, AZ.
Page, AZ, is a very small town, so there is no bus service, and rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft have yet to make their way here with any degree of reliability. If you are unable to drive to the pick-up point, your best bet is Buggy Taxi, who can be reached at 928-645-6664. I’m unaware as to whether they accept reservations in advance, but it wouldn’t hurt to check on that.
Good luck and safe travels,
Alley 🙂

Hi Yuku,
Group size on Antelope Canyon tours is allowed to exceed 20 people.
Assuming you are trying to book Upper Antelope Canyon at 8.15 on July 28, only being able to book 20 means that time slot only has that many seats left.
You might look at another day or time slot to see if they can accommodate all 21 of you.
Another option would be to check with a different tour company. There are 5 tour companies that go to Upper Antelope Canyon. Our preferred partner is Tsosie’s Upper Antelope Canyon Tours, who can be reached by email at chieftsosie@yahoo.com or by phone at 928-645-5594.
Other companies that offer Upper Antelope Canyon tours are:
– Ekis’ Antelope Canyon Tours, 928-645-9102, www.antelopecanyon.com, tours@antelopecanyon.com
– Antelope Canyon Navajo Tours, 928-698-3384, www.navajotours.com

Hi Gail,
Your concerns about flash flooding are justified, especially considering that you’re traveling during Arizona’s monsoon season.
Since it is located below ground, Lower Antelope Canyon, as in the 1997 incident, tends to bear the brunt of most flash flood damage by virtue of gravity. In such instances, other slot canyons located above ground, such as Upper Antelope, Antelope Canyon X, Secret Antelope Canyon, etc., are able to remain open to tours.
In the event your tour is cancelled due to flash flooding or unsafe weather conditions, your tickets would be refunded.
Another way you can lessen the chance of encountering flash flood conditions is to take your tour in the morning. The majority of monsoon storm activity tends to occur in the afternoon.
Regarding Deer Canyon, that slot canyon is managed by Ligai Si’Anii Tours. It is more difficult in comparison to Lower Antelope, so be sure you are able to handle its physical challenges before committing to it. For more information, visit www.hikingslotcanyons.com or phone 928-640-2594.
Hope that helps. Please contact us directly if we can be of further assistance at reservations@antelopecanyon.az
