The Experience
Before You Go
Start early for light
Most viewpoints are best at sunrise or early morning — aim to be at Bryce Sunrise Point or Horseshoe Bend before mid-morning to avoid crowds and harsh light.
Hydrate and layer
Desert days can be hot and mornings cold; carry at least 1–2 liters of water and a light insulating layer for dawn and dusk.
Respect Navajo rules
Antelope Canyon is on Navajo land and has strict rules (no tripods, stay with your guide); follow permit requirements and local signage.
Footwear matters
Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes for slickrock and uneven trails — sandals are not recommended for most viewpoints.
