Hidden for centuries beneath Native soil, nature has built a cathedral for herself: a slot canyon still unsurpassed in its beauty, the perfect symphony of sand, stone and light, layered marble colored rock that is distinctly unique. After exploring Antelope Canyon you will continue on your journey and visit Horseshoe Bend. A short hike takes you to the most captivating curve the Colorado River has carved out on his 1400 mile journey from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California. At this sheer 1000ft drop, framed by massive canyon walls, the emerald green sparkly reflections of this ancient stream will surely take your breath away.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
From the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, our route takes us through the Sonoran Desert up into the picturesque mountain town of Flagstaff. This historic Route 66 town lies at the base of the largest mountain range in Arizona, the San Francisco Peaks, which we will be able to gaze upon as we continue to travel north to the Lake Powell region. Please note, Flagstaff has an elevation of 7,000 feet so take note if you have concerns about altitude.
2. Navajo Trail Trading Post
Along our way, we will enjoy a visit to a Navajo Trading Post and explore Navajo culture and their intricate crafts.
3. Lower Antelope Canyon
Upon arrival to Page, Arizona, we will begin our tour of spectacular Lower Antelope Canyon. Here we will tour Lower Antelope Canyon with a local Navajo guide who will lead you through the amazing natural formations of this world-famous slot canyon. The photo opportunities will be second to none! In addition to touring Lower Antelope Canyon, we also include photo stops along the majestic Lake Powell shoreline before stopping for a group lunch in Page at one of their unique eateries.
4.
See views of Lake Powell and then spend time in Page for opportunities to buy lunch.
5. Horseshoe Bend
After our time in Antelope Canyon and Page, we will embark upon a scenic one-mile walk to Horseshoe Bend Overlook which is highlighted by awe-inspiring views into this deeply carved channel and the Colorado River below. Photos from the edge of this natural beauty are widespread across the world and are nothing short of amazing.

This tour was one of the best we’ve been on. It was well worth the money. Horseshoe Bend views were incredible; antelope canyon is beyond amazing and truly unbelievable what the power of water can do and Lake Powell also had amazing views . Our tour guide Shannon made this a day to remember for years to come.

This tour was fantastic from beginning to end. I was picked up promptly from my hotel at 4:15 a.m. We quickly picked up 11 other passengers from other locations and made the long drive from Phoenix to Page. Our tour guide, Shannon, was excellent! She was informative, interesting, funny at times, and super nice. She shared interesting information about the area around Page and the Navajo tribe that live there. We toured the Lower Canyon of Antelope Canyon, and it was spectacular! Incredibly beautiful and just stunning! A definite must-see!
As part of our day, we made breakfast and lunch stops, and we also visited Horseshoe Bend and Glen Canyon Dam, both of which were very worthy stops.

The day was long, and I didn’t get dropped off at my hotel until 7:30 p.m., but it was well worth it. It was an incredible day led by one super tour guide who made sure we had a fabulous time. I highly recommend Detours if you are looking for a professional and really excellent tour operator.

It was a great experience! The views were amazing. The walk wasn’t bad at all. Our captured some great photos for us and of us to creat lasting memories. Tips for others: wear a hat, wear a hoodie or something with a hood to protect you from the sand fall ( especially a poc you will want to wear something to keep the sand out your hair).

John was an excellent driver and guide. He is passionate about AZ, the desert, and extremely knowledgeable. We learned a lot during the trip. Lower Antelope Canyon is spectacular and our Navajo guide Carmelita was interesting and helpful guiding us how to take the best pictures.

Well worth it! Our tour guide Shannon was awesome. We saw so much in one day. The van was comfortable and there were enough stops during the day to break it up. Highly recommend this tour! I'm still in awe of the hospitality from Detours West and the sights that we saw.

The scenery exceeded any expectations I had. I went on a no-so-busy day but the company decided to make it happen and they did the tour for just 5 people out of 13. I highly appreciate they contributed to this lifetime experience of mine. The guide was good, I would personally recommend to stay more on the subject and not prologue the narrative with personal (too personal) stories. This distracted me and I mostly went online in order to match what I was seeing with relevant information on local history, facts, economy, etc. But I guess people without too much enthusiasm on social data they get excited by the small talk. Overall I have to admit the service was excellent, our guide drove for almost 9 hours to make that possible, the vehicle was confortable and he was driving really well (i generally have an issue with dangerous driving, this one made me feel reaaaally safe without being too slow), we all fell safe for the entire trip. I would highly recommend this company

This is a must see place! If you don't go anywhere else i Arizona, go and see Antelope Canyon. Words can't describe the beauty of what nature created.
Excellent tour guides who share their knowledge and love of this beautiful place.
I will never forget this once in a lifetime place.
