Boy, do we have good news for you: now, it’s possible to book your Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon Tour in one single reservation! On the Upper + Lower Antelope Canyon Tour, your adventure will begin at Chief Tsosie’s Antelope Slot Canyon Tours in downtown Page, AZ. You’ll board custom-built safari trucks and take an exciting off-road ride to the mouth of Upper Antelope Canyon. As you leave the hot desert air behind, and enter the cool confines of this hallowed hall sculpted by rushing waters and blowing sand, you’ll understand why photos of this slot canyon landscape have fetched millions of dollars on the fine art market. As sunbeams play on the sandstone walls, the chambers of the canyon are illuminated in soft hues of brown, ochre, maroon, beige, mauve, pink, and coral, contrasting beautifully against a clear blue sky above. This place is truly magical, and best of all, requires very little physical exertion to visit.

After spending approximately one hour enjoying this branch of Antelope Canyon, you’ll head back to Page, AZ, and receive directions to Ken’s Lower Antelope Canyon Tours for the second phase of your tour! In Lower Antelope Canyon, an intermittent flash-flooding creek has carved yet another exquisite slot canyon formation, this time burrowing deep within the sandstone bedrock beneath the sand. This branch of the canyon is every bit as beautiful as Upper, but a bit more labor-intensive, requiring you to walk for about 10 minutes from the check-in pavilion to the canyon’s entrance, descend a series of ladders to enter the slot canyon, navigate a few ladders, stairs, and boulders as you hike through the canyon, then ascend a final series of ladders to exit. Throughout both phases of your Antelope Canyon tour, your Navajo Indian guides will give you hints on where the best photo opportunities are, and even offer guidance on how to set up your camera. All this, and you were able to arrange both experiences, seamlessly, in one easy step.

Upper Slot Canyon Tours By Chief Tsosie

People who are in reasonably good health are usually able to manage Lower Antelope Canyon. Parties with babies or pre-K children, or members with compromised mobility, should reconsider this activity, and probably stick with Upper Antelope Canyon, or an Upper Antelope Canyon + Boat Combo Tour.

Upper Antelope Canyon is an above-ground slot canyon. It’s an easy, flat 100 yard walk, following a 2-mile off-road ride from the Navajo Tribal Park Gate on US98 to the canyon’s entrance. Upper Antelope Canyon is also where you can catch those world-famous sunbeams between the spring and fall months, but only during peak time tours. Discover the natural beauty of Lower Antelope Canyon, a slot canyon located in northern Arizona in Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park. Lower Antelope Canyon is shallower than Upper Antelope Canyon, both of which are part of the Navajo Nation and require a guided tour; advanced reservations are highly recommended to check out this popular spot in Page.

Once your Lower Antelope tour is complete, you might head over to nearby Antelope Point Marina to have lunch at the Sandbar Restaurant, take in the views of Lake Powell, stroll amongst the houseboats moored at the floating dock, or pick up a gift for loved ones back home.

Upper Slot Canyon Tours

A few lesser known slot canyons have opened up to the public over the years, that is, with the permitted access of a tour guide company. Most of these slot canyons are on Navajo land and are a very important part of their culture and heritage. It's a priviledge that these canyons are being shared with us. Some of these other slot canyons are Cardiac Canyon, Secret Canyon, Rams Head, Ligai Si Anii and Wind Pebble Canyons. Most of these tours, if not all, are operated by Navajo tour companies and require paying an $8 Navajo Permit Fee in addition to the tour package price. Going on one of these slot canyon tours is a fantastic way to avoid the crowds and have a more relaxed experience in these truly magnificant canyons.
