Driving to Antelope Canyon

The Antelope Canyons are located in Northern Arizona, a few miles Southeast of the town of Page, Arizona.

Driving distances from major cities and tourist destinations are as follows: 

  • Los Angeles, California – 9 hours

  • Phoenix, Arizona – 4.5 hours

  • Las Vegas, Nevada – 4.5 hours

  • Flagstaff, Arizona – 2.5 hours

  • Sedona, Arizona – 3 hours

  • St. George, Utah – 2.5 hours

  • Zion National Park, Utah – 2 hours 

  • Grand Canyon South Rim – 2.5 hours

  • Grand Canyon North Rim – 2.5 hours

  • Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah – 3 hours

  • Moab, Utah – 5 hours

  • Monument Valley, Utah – 2 hours

 

Note that the times given reflect driving directly, with minimal stops. This rarely happens since most of these drives are very scenic, and you will be stopping to take pictures, guaranteed! For planning purposes, it’s a good idea to pad these figures by 20-30%.

Upon arrival in Page, AZ, you will be required to take a guided tour to Antelope Canyon. You cannot simply drive up to the canyon’s entrance and walk in at will. Well before making the trip to Page, AZ, you should do some research on which section of Antelope Canyon you wish to tour, and make a reservation. Depending on which tour company you book with, you will be required to check in anywhere from 30-60 minutes prior to your Antelope Canyon tour. 

If you opt to visit Upper Antelope Canyon, there are 4 tour companies in all that tour this branch of Antelope Canyon: 2 that depart from the town of Page, AZ, and 2 that depart from near the Tribal Park Entrance on US98. If you choose to go to Lower Antelope Canyon, there are 2 companies that manage this section of the slot canyon, both located on the North side of US98 near the defunct Navajo Generating Station. Tour both Lower & Upper Antelope Canyons

If you would like to add an Antelope Canyon waterside boat tour onto your slot canyon tour(s), these depart from Antelope Point Marina, just a short distance down US98 from the Lower Antelope Canyon tour entrance. 

If you are staying someplace like Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon South Rim, or Las Vegas, and aren’t keen on doing all that driving, guided tours from these areas to Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend are available by bus, van, or fixed-wing airplane.

  1. Hi! your page is very informative. My husband and I are going to visit lower and upper antelope , horseshoe and Grand Canyon for two days this August 8-9th driving from Vegas. We are still confused of how to plan the trip. Planning to leave Vegas at 9am by car on the 8th. Any suggestions?

    1. Hi Mei!
      Whether you visit the Grand Canyon or Page first really doesn’t matter. Either one is ~a 5 hour drive from Las Vegas, so it’s, as we say “six of one, half a dozen of another.” How you plan your trip will depend largely on availability of lodging at the Grand Canyon, and availability of Antelope Canyon tours — or lack thereof in either case! Start by seeing when you can book a hotel at Grand Canyon South Rim. Then check Antelope Canyon tours, as well as Page, AZ, hotels. Then let the rest of your trip planning evolve, and revolve around those 3 key elements.
      Hope that helps. Please don’t hesitate to come back again if you need further guidance.

  2. Hi Alley, I am currently planning a trip with my husband and daughter for late March 21-March 31 and I am currently thinking of flying into Phoenix and driving to the South Rim for 2-3 days, then driving to Orderville for a few days to visit Bryce and Zion Parks, then driving to Page to do a few days in Antelope Canyon before driving to Las Vegas to fly home. From a driving stand point, I know it would be more efficient to do Page/Antelope before Orderville/Bryce/Zion, but I am trying to push Antelope as late as possible hoping that the chances of seeing the light beams will be better. Does this itinerary make sense, or am I adding to much driving time for an unlikely payoff?? Thank you! Bev

    1. Hi Bev and sorry for the delay in response to your question. I was actually on vacation myself!
      As you have rightfully deduced, you are “adding too much driving time for an unlikely payoff” (well-said!) concerning Antelope Canyon. The light beams in Upper Antelope Canyon technically start to appear in late March, but at that time of year, they rarely reach all the way down to the canyon floor. At that point in time, they’re just starting to bounce off the upper walls of the canyon. Peak time for the light beam phenomenon is summertime, namely, June, July, and August. Another consideration is that tour prices for mid-day departures are higher than off-peak hours, light beams or no light beams, and competition is bound to be a bit more rigorous for those time slots. Long story short, don’t fixate on the light beams, and structure your itinerary so that you’re not backtracking. Whatever you decide, book your Antelope Canyon tour well in advance.
      Another observation: Sedona is absent from your itinerary. Unless you’ve been there before, it really deserves to be worked into your itinerary, and you should allow for at least 3 days there. It’s an absolutely stunning area, just 2.5 hours from Phoenix, with a lot to see and do. VisitSedona.com If necessary, drop a day or two from Grand Canyon South Rim in order to work it in. Crazy as it may sound, you can scoot by with 1 night at Grand Canyon South Rim and still have a fulfilling visit. The primary reason for this is because you’ll do a good majority of your Grand Canyon sightseeing on the drive to Page, AZ, since the most logical route takes you along the East Rim/Desert View Drive of the park where there are over half a dozen named Grand Canyon viewpoints you can stop at. Upon exiting the park and entering the Navajo Indian Reservation, there’s even more to see. Therefore, a drive that would take 2.5 hours “wheels turning, no stops,” can easily be extended to 3.5-4 hours by taking in the sights and maybe stopping at the Cameron Trading Post for some Navajo tacos.
      Lastly, using Orderville, UT, as a “base” from which to visit Bryce Canyon and Zion is OK, just make sure that you are starting your drive “back to base” well before sunset. Make sure all your driving is done during daylight hours for that matter. Driving in the dark in this part of the U.S. is strongly discouraged due to lack of artificial lighting on local roads (a deliberate move to preserve the natural quality of the night sky), plus the tendency of deer, elk, free range cattle, and even wild horses to be nocturnal. At the time of year you’re traveling, your daylength is still going to be on the short side with sunrise occurring at ~7:15 AM and sunset taking place shortly before 8:00 PM (Utah time).
      In light of these considerations, a “restructured” itinerary would look something like this:
      March 21st: arrive in Phoenix, drive to Sedona (~2.5 hours), overnight in Sedona
      March 22nd: take Pink Jeep Broken Arrow Tour, light hiking in Sedona, spend 2nd night in Sedona
      March 23rd: take sunrise hot air balloon flight, visit Tlaquepaque, spend 3rd night in Sedona
      March 24th: drive to Grand Canyon South Rim (~3 hour drive), take free shuttles out to Hermit’s Rest/West Rim Drive overlooks, overnight in Grand Canyon
      March 25th: drive to Page, AZ (~3.5-4 hours), visit Horseshoe Bend (parking permitting), overnight in Page
      March 26th: tour Antelope Canyon, perhaps take a short boat tour on Lake Powell (Antelope Canyon + Lake Powell Boat Tour bundles), 2nd night in Page, AZ
      March 27th-March 30th: drive to Orderville, UT (~2 hour drive), spend 3 nights, explore Bryce one day, Zion 2 days
      March 31st: drive to Las Vegas (~4-4.5 hour drive due to construction project on I-15 through Virgin River Gorge), return flight home
      One more thing before I sign off: keep in mind that while the calendar may say it’s spring, winter weather has a nasty habit of making “one final stand” at the time of year you’re traveling. Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon especially are prone to snowstorms, being at higher altitudes. Start monitoring local weather ~2 weeks before you set out to get the best feel for what to expect and how to pack. In the rare event a road closure occurs due to weather, the best way to deal with it is to stay put where you’re at, then move on once the weather clears.
      Good luck and safe travels!

  3. HI Alley,
    my wife & I plan to visit the Grand Canyon, Upper/Lower Antelope Canyon, Zion National Park and finally Las Vegas from the 4th/5th of September 2019 to 12th September 2019. We will be flying in from Atlanta, Georgia. We are really confused as to how to plan a trip that would pass smoothly from one location to another. I would really appreciate if you could guide us on how many days would be ideal to spend at each location. We have no interest in gambling, but would like to see the some sights in Las Vegas, so I assume that one day in Las Vegas should be enough. Our main interests are in Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon tour , Zion National Park etc. What would you recommend should we do first? Are there any other locations around these places that we should not miss? Thanks.

    1. Hi Zafar and thank you for writing in.
      The order in which you visit the various attractions on your “wish” list will come down to two key factors:
      1. Availability of lodging at the Grand Canyon and
      2. Availability of Antelope Canyon tours
      The rest of your trip planning should revolve, and evolve, around these two elements.
      That said, a “classic” 7-day American Southwest trip itinerary using Las Vegas as a starting/ending point is as follows:
      Day 1 – Drive from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon South Rim, ~5 hour drive, optional stopovers at Hoover Dam and Seligman, AZ, overnight at Grand Canyon
      Day 2 – Drive from Grand Canyon South Rim to Page, AZ, ~4 hour drive factoring in the numerous opportunities for scenic viewpoint stops that should be taken advantage of. Lunch at Cameron Trading Post, possibly tour Antelope Canyon that afternoon, overnight in Page, AZ.
      Day 3 – Visit Horseshoe Bend , take Glen Canyon Half Day Float Trip or Rainbow Bridge Boat Tour, 2nd night in Page, AZ
      Day 4 – Drive from Page, AZ, to Bryce Canyon (~3 hour drive), optional stopover between Page, AZ, and Kanab, UT to do Paria Rimrocks/Toadstool Hoodoos hike, overnight in Bryce Canyon area
      Day 5 – More hiking in Bryce Canyon if desired, drive to Zion National Park (~2 hour drive), overnight in Springdale, UT.
      Day 6 – Hiking and exploring in Zion; popular hikes include but are definitely not limited to Angel’s Landing and The Narrows. Good day hikes in Zion 2nd night in Springdale, UT.
      Day 7 – Return to Las Vegas, ~3.5-4.5 hour drive, variance factoring in the need to pass through a construction zone in the Virgin River Gorge area of I-15.

      Naturally, if you find Grand Canyon lodging availability to be more conducive to going there at the end of your trip rather than the beginning, then you can simply do this itinerary in reverse. One more observation is that your visit is timed for just after the Labor Day holiday, so it will be very busy. Don’t be surprised to find a lot of lodging and tours sold out. You need to get on making reservations ASAP!
      Hope that helps. Good luck and safe travels,
      Alley 🙂

      1. Thank you very much for your detailed answer, Alley. I was under the impression that going to the Grand Canyon would be better if we went after Labor Day so that we may not encounter any lodging troubles. What would you recommend as a better time to visit the The Grand Canyon in September? I was hoping to go in September so that the weather would be a little more pleasant. I do see that the itinerary that you mentioned involves a lot of driving and not much time near the Grand Canyon Village. Is that OK? To enjoy the splendor of the Grand Canyon, do you think that we should take off Bryce and/or Zion off our list and concentrate only on the Grand Canyon? Or visit Grand Canyon and Zion only? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

        1. Hi again, Zafar!
          If you are able to pick and choose when to visit for better weather and thinner crowds, my recommendation would be mid-October. The weather in Northern Arizona is usually picture perfect at around that time of year, and usually quite stable. While it is still busy, it tends to be mostly adults out touring since kids are back in school.
          Good catch on noticing that our itinerary only allowed for 1 night at the Grand Canyon! If you have the time/inclination to add another night, you can certainly do so, availability permitting, but the fact of the matter is that a good majority of one’s sightseeing at the Grand Canyon occurs on the drive to/from Page. That’s because the shortest route naturally takes you along the East Rim/Desert View Drive of the park, where there are over half a dozen named viewpoints of the Grand Canyon you can stop at prior to exiting the park boundary.
          As for the long drives, that’s kind of a “fact of life” in this part of the U.S. since major cities are few and far between, and you have to get through a whole lot of “nowhere” before you get “somewhere.” That’s kind of an inside joke amongst those of us who live in these parts 😉
          Regarding whether you take Bryce and/or Zion off the itinerary and spend more time at a few select destinations, that depends on whether you anticipate being able to return to the area in the foreseeable future. I don’t recall where you were traveling from, but if you’re visiting from overseas, this trip may be a “once in a lifetime” or at least a “once in a blue moon” opportunity which you should make the most of. If making a return trip out here would be relatively feasible for you, then by all means, take a “quality over quantity” approach to your trip! If you do decide to keep the Grand Canyon and Zion on the itinerary, you should also keep Page, AZ, on the agenda since you pretty much end up passing through there anyway.
          Have a fun trip and let us know how you get on!
          Alley 🙂

          1. Hi Alley,
            I am back again and wonder if you could help me finalize an optimum itinerary now that I have set my travel dates. We will be reaching the Phoenix, AZ Airport on the 17th of September 2019 (Tuesday) at about 2 pm and will fly out back from Phoenix AZ Airport on the 25th of September 2019 (Wednesday) at 12 pm. I have booked the Upper & Lower Antelope Canyon Tour from the link on your website for the 20th of September (Friday) at 10 am. Could you advise me about how to go about preparing an itinerary for Grand Canyon South Rim, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend ( Also maybe Rainbow bridge or a boat trip etc), Zion National Park and maybe Bryce Canyon or Capitol Reef Park? We need the 24th of September to drive all the way back to Phoenix AZ where we will stay overnight and then fly back the next day (25th September) to Atlanta, GA. I must mention that bookings for lodging for Phoenix AZ, Page, AZ and Springdale, UT are available, but lodging at Grand Canyon Village is a nightmare. If we decide to stay only one night at the Grand Canyon Village, how do we go about scheduling our trip to our best possible advantage? Or if you have a better plan, please let me know. Appreciate your advice. Thanks.

          2. Hi again, Zafar!
            I am not surprised to hear that lodging at Grand Canyon Village is full at the time of year you’re visiting. Honestly, that’s the one element of your trip that should have been solidified before you booked an Antelope Canyon tour. Seeing as though you already have the latter in place, and changing your date would most likely be problematic at best, I would recommend this:
            09/17 – Arrive in Phoenix, overnight in Phoenix
            09/18 – Start early, drive from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon (~5-6 hour drive with frequent stops), sightseeing in the park, overnight in Tusayan (7 miles outside Grand Canyon Village), or Williams, AZ (60 miles South of GC Village), or Flagstaff, AZ (85 miles Southeast of the Grand Canyon) if necessary Grand Canyon South Rim lodging
            09/19 – Drive from Grand Canyon South Rim to Page, AZ (~3.5-4 hours factoring in stops), stop at Horseshoe Bend (parking permitting), take short boat tour on Lake Powell (you don’t have time for the Rainbow Bridge boat tour, but you may still be able to see it… more on that in a moment), overnight in Page, AZ
            09/20 – Take early morning fixed wing airplane flight over Rainbow Bridge (30 minute flight), check in at 9:30 AM for Antelope Canyon tour, drive from Page, AZ, to Zion National Park after lunch (~2.5 hour drive), overnight in Springdale, UT
            09/21 – Full day in Zion National Park; there are numerous hikes you can do in varying degrees of difficulty. You will need to use the Zion Canyon Shuttle to get around the park, which is free and originates in Springdale, UT. 2nd night in Zion
            09/22 – Drive to Capitol Reef National Park Bryce Canyon National Park (~4 hours from Springdale), overnight in Torrey, Utah or nearby
            09/23 – Drive from Capitol Reef to Bryce Canyon (~2.5 hours), explore Bryce area on free shuttles, drive to Kanab, UT to overnight (~1.5 hours from Bryce)
            09/24 – Drive from Kanab, UT to Phoenix, AZ (~6 hours), overnight in Phoenix
            09/25 – Fly home

            Now, if you do have the stomach for rearranging your travel plans, including re-booking your Antelope Canyon tour for a different day, you might plan your trip as follows to get the longer drive out of the way first:
            09/17 – Arrive in Phoenix, overnight in Phoenix
            09/18 – Drive from Phoenix to Capitol Reef via Monument Valley (~8 hours), overnight in Torrey, UT area
            09/19 – Explore Capitol Reef, drive to Bryce for overnight
            09/20 – Explore Bryce Canyon, drive to Springdale, UT
            09/21 – Full day in Zion, 2nd night in Springdale
            09/22 – Drive from Springdale, UT to Page, AZ (~3 hours), do Antelope Canyon and short Lake Powell Boat tour that afternoon
            09/23 – Visit Horseshoe Bend just after sunrise, drive to GC South Rim, overnight at Grand Canyon
            09/24 – Drive from GC South Rim to Phoenix, overnight in Phoenix
            09/25 – Fly home

            As you can see, the difference in total drive time is negligible, but again, plan “B” allows you to visit Capitol Reef for at least a short time.
            If you don’t fancy doing all that driving, whether on the front or back end of your trip, you might consider taking Capitol Reef off the table this time around and save it for another time when you can also visit Moab, UT for Arches and Canyonlands.
            Good luck, I know it’s a hard choice!

  4. Hi Ally,
    This post is very helpful. We are traveling this coming week to visit. We are traveling with my parents who are 69 and 70, who do have slight limitations (walking or climbing for any distance is a challenge). With this in mind what would be recommended part of the Canyon to visit.

    1. Hi Dawn, glad you’re finding our site helpful!
      For folks with any kind of mobility limitations, we recommend Upper Antelope Canyon. It’s a very easy 100 yard out-and-back walk on a mostly flat trail. The most exciting aspect of the trip will probably be the 2 mile ride out to the canyon from the highway. In the event Upper Antelope is sold out, a good alternate would be Horseshoe Bend Slot Canyon. Like Upper Antelope Canyon, it has no stairs or ladders to navigate, but at 450 yards, it is significantly longer than Upper Antelope, plus the 4WD trip out to the mouth of the canyon is longer as well, at 7-8 miles. If you take us up on that suggestion, you might consider booking the Horseshoe Bend Slot Canyon + Horseshoe Bend Overlook tour since the tour company goes to Horseshoe Bend via a private entrance, which reduces the walk to the overlook to just 200 yards (normally, it’s 1.5 miles out and back).
      Hope that helps! Good luck and safe travels,
      Alley 🙂

  5. Dear Sir,

    I plan to go Antelope Canyon on 30th June. Can I drive there by myself, not joining tour?

    1. Hi Ady,
      No, you may not enter Antelope Canyon on your own. The Antelope Canyons are on Navajo Indian Tribal Lands, therefore, an authorized tour guide is required to visit. Be sure to make a reservation ASAP!
      How To Book A Tour For Antelope Canyon
      Good luck and safe travels,
      Alley 🙂

        1. Dear Sir or Madam,
          Yes, you are perfectly welcome to drive from Las Vegas to Page, Arizona (where Antelope Canyon is located). However, depending on which branch of Antelope Canyon you want to visit, where you drive to will differ. If you wish to tour Upper Antelope Canyon, the easier of the two, you would either drive to the Antelope Canyon Tribal Park Entrance on US98, or downtown Page, AZ, depending on which tour company you book with (there are 4 total that go to Upper Antelope Canyon). If you choose to tour Lower Antelope Canyon, which is 600m long and requires descending and climbing several ladders, you would drive to the Lower Antelope Canyon parking lot, also located on US98, and enter the canyon from there. There are 2 companies that manage Lower Antelope Canyon.
          The first thing to decide is which branch of Antelope Canyon you wish to tour, then make a reservation. Advance reservations are an absolute must as this is one of Northern Arizona’s most popular attractions! Lower vs. Upper Antelope Canyon How to Book A Tour For Antelope Canyon

  6. Hi Alley,

    I would like to take my kiddos on a little road trip to see the Grand Canyon, Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe bend. Where do you suggest we start? We are coming from Southern Cali. Where do you suggest we stay? What tours should we take?
    Thank you!

    1. Hi Nancee,
      First off, it’s going to take anywhere from 8-10 hours – one way – to drive from Southern California to the Grand Canyon or Page, AZ. If your kids are young, you should consider breaking up the drive in someplace like Las Vegas, NV, or Lake Havasu City, AZ.
      After you have sorted that out, then step 1 should be to check availability of Grand Canyon lodging. That should be the “lynchpin” around which the rest of your trip planning revolves, and evolves. If possible, stay inside the park. If those hotels are full, then book something in Tusayan, AZ, which is 7 miles outside the park.
      Next, verify availability of Antelope Canyon tours. Here again, if your kids are very young, like under the age of 6, Upper Antelope Canyon would be your best option for touring the land side of Antelope Canyon. If you were wanting to get some time on the water in, you might consider bundling an Upper Antelope Canyon tour with a short boat tour from Antelope Point Marina. After you have found an Antelope Canyon tour that suits your schedule, then book a hotel in Page, AZ. For Horseshoe Bend, plan on getting the kiddos up early and hitting that just after sunrise. That’s when you’ll be able to enjoy cooler temperatures and fewer people at the overlook.
      At bare minimum, stay 1 night at Grand Canyon South Rim, and 2 nights in Page, AZ. Depending on how lodging availability and Antelope Canyon tour availability shakes out, be prepared to visit Page, AZ, and the Grand Canyon in that order, or the other direction. Drive-time wise, it doesn’t make much of a difference.
      If you have more time to work with, you might think about spending 1-2 days at Zion National Park. You’d probably end up passing that way anyway, and it has lots of family-friendly activities. The lodging area for this park is Springdale, UT.
      Hope that helps. Good luck and safe travels!

      1. Is Horseshoe Bend water boat ride different from Antelope Canyon’s Waterside? IF so which is more scenic and do they both go out of the Antelope Point Marina?

        1. Hi Shari and thank you for this excellent inquiry.
          The Glen Canyon Half Day Float Trip, which goes through Horseshoe Bend, is indeed different than the Antelope Canyon boat tour. The Glen Canyon Float takes place on the Colorado River, whereas the Antelope Canyon Boat Tour occurs on Lake Powell. The Glen Canyon Float Trip departs from the Wilderness River Adventures in Page, AZ; the Antelope Canyon Boat tour leaves out of Antelope Point Marina.
          As for which one is more scenic… *sigh* that’s a toughie! They’re both beautiful, worthwhile experiences. There is a significant difference in duration, with the Glen Canyon Float clocking in at about 4 hours round-trip. If you were pressed for time, the Antelope Canyon Boat tour, at 60+ minutes, might be the better option.
          Hope that helps. Good luck and safe travels,

  7. Hi, this page is very helpful, thank you.
    We are visiting Las Vegas in January 2020, and are considering renting a car to come see antelope canyon and horseshoe bend. What is the weather typically like in January?

    1. Hi AJ,
      Weather in January is typically cold, windy, and carries the possibility of rain or snow. That said, it’s still a good time to tour Antelope Canyon and visit Horseshoe Bend. January is considered “off-season,” meaning it’s not so crowded, which is a plus in my book! Start monitoring local weather about 2 weeks before you get set to travel, and pack accordingly. Also, advance reservations are still strongly recommended for Antelope Canyon tours.
      Good luck and safe travels,
      Alley 🙂

  8. Hey my sister and I are driving to antelope canyon from Flagstaff next weekend for the lower\boat tour. How are the roads? Do we need an all terrain vehicle? She just has a small vw golf with bad shocks. Do we need to rent a car?

    1. Hi Olivia,
      The route between Flagstaff and Page, AZ, is fully paved. An all-terrain vehicle is not necessary. To visit Antelope Canyon, you must go with a licensed tour company. Advance reservtions are strongly recommended to tour Antelope Canyon.
      Good luck and safe travels,
      Alley 🙂

  9. Hi! We are flying from the East coast on a Saturday in October 2019 to Phoenix and are returning home on Wednesday of that week. We want to see Grand Canyon and Lower Antelope. How do you suggest we plan our time? Thanks!

    1. Hi JJ!
      Using Phoenix as your starting/ending point, it’s “six of one/half a dozen of another” as to how you plan your time. You could go from Phoenix to Page, AZ (for Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend) to the Grand Canyon, then back to Phoenix, or hit the Grand Canyon first, then Page, AZ, before returning to Phoenix. Since either destination is about 5 hours drive (one way) from Phoenix, it really doesn’t matter one way or the other.
      With 3 full days to work with, I recommend planning 1 night at the Grand Canyon and 2 nights in Page. Strange as that may sound, 1 night is sufficient for most visitors who are including Page, AZ, in their itinerary because a good chunk of your Grand Canyon sightseeing will actually occur on the drive to/from Page. The route naturally, and logically takes you along the East Rim/Desert View Drive of the Grand Canyon, where there are over half a dozen named Grand Canyon viewpoints you can stop at. On Navajo Reservation lands, between the Grand Canyon and Page, there is even more to see.
      How you plan your trip in Northern Arizona, it will depend on two critical factors. In order of importance, they are:
      – Availability (or lack thereof) of Grand Canyon lodging
      – Availability (or lack thereof) of Antelope Canyon tours
      – Availability (or lack thereof) of Page, AZ, lodging
      Start by checking Grand Canyon hotels, and booking accommodations where you can find availability, then do the same for Antelope Canyon tours and Page, AZ, lodging. In Page, AZ, be sure to plan for a visit to the Horseshoe Bend overlook, preferably in the morning hours when it’s cooler and less crowded.
      Hope that helps. Feel free to hit us up again if you need to bounce any other ideas off us!
