Traveling in Antelope Canyon, I seemed to have walked into a dreamy natural art gallery. The magnificent geological landscape here is amazing. The rock walls are like surging sculptures, with layered wave textures and delicate interweaving of colors, forming a unique and beautiful landscape. Under the guidance of the tour guide, I walked leisurely through the corridors of Antelope Canyon, and every step brought new shocks. The sun shines through the cracks between the channels, casting mottled light and shadow, reflecting the rock wall dazzlingly. In these wonderful natural lights and shadows, I found fascinating scenery one after another, and it seemed that every moment was worth staring at and recording. However, I also deeply appreciate the fragility and preciousness of the Antelope Canyon. The tour guide warned us to keep quiet and protect this precious natural heritage. Not far away, I saw tourists getting too close despite warnings, which made me worried. The beauty of the Antelope Canyon should coexist in its pristine state, and we must work together to protect this natural treasure so that future generations can have the opportunity to appreciate its spectacular beauty. This trip to Antelope Canyon was a precious harvest in my journey. This place not only allows me to appreciate the wonders of nature, but also allows me to reflect on our responsibility to the environment.

About the landscape of Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon: I think they all have their own merits. I asked local tour guides and some tourists who have been here several times, and they told me different things. They are all worth going. (Btw: I went to Lower...
Read moreIf you’re planning a trip near the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon should be at the top of your list. Located about 2–2.5 hours from the Grand Canyon, this breathtaking destination is especially enjoyable in mid-December, when the weather is cool and comfortable. A light jacket is recommended, but the temperature is perfect for walking without feeling too hot or cold.
When to Visit I suggest booking a tour in the morning or early afternoon for the best experience. The lighting is optimal during these times, enhancing the canyon’s natural beauty.
Tour Experience We toured with Ken’s Tours, which offered a fantastic 1–1.5-hour walking adventure through Lower Antelope Canyon. The tour covers a round trip of approximately 1,800 meters (1.1 miles) and begins with a descent down five flights of stairs (35 meters) into the largest cavern of the canyon. From there, visitors ascend through the mesmerizing kaleidoscope of colors formed by the Navajo sandstone, a stunning result of rain, wind, and erosion.
The tour includes navigating several levels of the canyon using eight ladders equipped with handrails, ensuring both safety and accessibility. Before entering the canyon, there’s a short 10-minute walk from the check-in booth. The path is rocky and sandy, so appropriate footwear is highly recommended for safety and comfort and costs approx 80-90 dollars a person.
Tips and Photography The staff were exceptionally friendly and even helped take stunning photos during the tour. While they do appreciate tips at the end, it’s well worth it for the high-quality photos they capture.
Overall, Antelope Canyon offers an unforgettable experience, combining natural beauty with a well-organized tour. I highly...
Read moreThis was expensive compared to lower canyon but worth it for a once in a lifetime experience. It was marvelous. This is a 1 and half hour tour where 1 hour will be gone in driving back and forth the canyon. There are different tours available. The one we booked was very good. The ride experience was also good. There will be half an hour walking inside the canyon. The canyon is wide down and narrow on the top which makes it a little darker inside the canyon and when the sun rays entering from the top will be amazing. The beauty of this place can't be expressed just by words. This is the great place for photographers as they can capture beautiful pictures of this place in different angles. It is amazing to see how the flash floods have created this beautiful canyon.
The best time to visit this place is in the morning around 11 am. This place is also suitable for old age people as there is no climbing like a lower canyon. Avoid visiting canyon during rainy as there will be chance of cancellations if it rains because during raining the flash floods is observed which is not safe for people. As a result the tour guide will...
