So you’ve decided to tour both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon on your upcoming vacation to Northern Arizona. Great! Let us help you book your perfect day. Each Canyon has very distinct properties that make it worth seeing. For example Upper Antelope is known for its incredible light beams and wide passages. Where as Lower Antelope is know more for its Vivid Colors and incredible textures.
Your day of discovery gets off and rolling from Chief Tsosie’s Antelope Slot Canyon Tours in downtown Page, AZ. Aboard super-comfortable luxury touring vehicles, specially modified to handle off-road trekking, you’ll travel down the edge of Manson Mesa to the Navajo Indian Reservation. After a 2-mile trip down a remote dirt road, you arrive at the mouth of Upper Antelope Canyon.
As you walk into the chambers of this world-famous slot canyon, you leave behind the noise and heat of the man-made world, and enter the cool, surreal confines of a masterpiece of nature. Formed over aeons by churning flash flood waters and fine grains of sand buffeted by gale force winds, the interior of Upper Antelope Canyon is a kaleidoscope of subtle earth tones, constantly changing in depth and intensity as the sun moves overhead. But at a mere 100 yards in length, Upper Antelope Canyon represents only a small fraction of this complex, multi-faceted geological curiosity. To get a true sense of the powerful and miraculous forces responsible for Antelope Canyon’s formation, you literally have to go deeper, and that’s what you’re about to do next!

Following a short walk to the canyon’s entrance, it’s time to get a bit more physical. A climb down a series of ladders takes you to an underground wonderland of spirals, ledges, arches, and bas relief-like formations that will paint pictures in your imagination. The entire hike comes in at just one mile with the most strenuous portion being the descent into the canyon via 5 ladders that will take you to the beginning of your Adventure.
At 600m in length, and with several ladders and small boulders to navigate, Lower Antelope Canyon requires a little more effort to enjoy, but millions of people annually find the experience to be well worth the exercise.
