Two-Day Las Vegas Tour: Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon & Zion
A compact, two-day circuit from Las Vegas that hits the Grand Canyon, Lower Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Zion—desert geology and dramatic viewpoints with guided access and a hotel night in Page.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate and pace yourself
Desert stretches and canyon rims demand at least 1–2 liters of water per person; sip regularly and rest in shade during long drives.
Follow Navajo rules in Antelope Canyon
Tripods, bags and many stabilizers are prohibited inside Lower Antelope; respect guided timing and dress requirements.
Sun protection for all stops
Wide-brim hat, SPF 30+, and sunglasses are essential—Horseshoe Bend and canyon rims offer little shade.
Sturdy footwear
Closed-toe trail shoes with grippy soles are recommended for uneven rock, stairs in slot canyons, and desert sand.

Conservation Note
These landscapes are fragile—stay on designated paths, respect Navajo regulations in the slot canyon, and minimize single-use plastics to reduce impact.
