The Experience
Before You Go
Book Antelope Canyon in advance
Antelope Canyon requires a guided entry or ticket on Navajo land—secure your slot before flying to Page to make full use of the four-hour layover.
Hydrate and sun-protect
Desert sun and canyon reflections intensify heat—carry at least 1L of water, sunscreen, and a brimmed hat for the ground portion.
Bring a wide-angle lens
Slot canyons are tight and dramatic—use a wide-angle lens (10–24mm) and bring a small tripod if allowed by your guide.
Weigh-in and luggage limits
Flights are private with an 850 lb group limit—declare weights on booking and leave large checked bags behind for safety and balance.

Conservation Note

The slot canyons cut into Navajo Sandstone are products of erosion and flash floods; much of the area lies within Navajo Nation territory with deep cultural significance.
