Description

Added by Kenny Nguyễn

These rock formations are amazing! The first time I saw these was one of the default wallpapers on Windows/Mac operating systems. From what was described to me, these formations are possible due to water ( flash flooding ) for millions of years.

This is the Lower Antelope Canyon Tour, which is about an hour and a half up to two hours based on how many stops your tour guide stopping for photo opportunities. It is a narrow cave, that gradually ascend with a few ladders to climb as well. The tour guide is very knowledgeable in photography and will help you take the best photos possible! I would recommend a DSLR or a camera with ISO settings, due to the lack of light. There were overcast and some snow around the canyon that afternoon so the colors of the rocks didn't pop as i would imagined.

Antelope Canyon

Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona, and requires you to book a tour guide. But don’t let that dissuade you – this natural marvel is well worth it, and this is a must-do for amateur and professional photographers alike. The canyon is divided into two primary areas: Upper Antelope Canyo...

Photograph Rattlesnake Canyon

Rattlesnake Canyon is an add-on to the ever-popular Antelope Canyon photography tour. Both canyons are on Navajo land and only accessible by guided tour.The advantage to Rattlesnake Canyon is that only one tour company is allowed to operate there and they only take one group at a time. Our group had nine people, so the nine of us had the canyon to ourselves.You access the entrance to the cany...

Hike through Mountain Sheep Canyon

As its name suggests, Mountain Sheep Canyon offers a rugged feel and more strenuous hike than the other slot canyons in the neighborhood (Antelope Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon). The trek is longer than it is for the other canyons (about three-quarters of a mile), and there is quite a bit of scaling ladders along the way. The ladders are all secured to the rock, but a few of the climbs might be...

Hike Cathedral Canyon

Cathedral Canyon is located just south of Page, Arizona and west of Coppermine Road and is entirely on Navajo Land, so access is possible only by permission from a local or with a permit from one of the licensed tour companies, of which Chief Tsosi is currently the only one permitted to give permits. The Canyon itself is accessible by numerous 4WD and high-clearance 2WD roads off Coppermine Roa...

Hike the Page Mesa Trail

The best way to loop is counter-clockwise, to avoid unnecessary uphill distance. The trail features wonderful wildflowers in the spring, and is open year round. The Page Mesa Trail typically takes between 1 and 3 hours to hike. The trail is also a fabulous location for mountain biking and is dog friendly! Maps are available at the Page Chamber of Commerce.

Horseshoe Bend

Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona is classic bucket list material and for good reason. Even if they don’t know what it’s called or where it is, everyone has seen this famous spot somewhere. Rest assured; pictures cannot convey the massive scale of this place. From your vantage point 1,000 feet above the Colorado River, the deep blue of the water starkly contrasts with the carved sandstone walls m...
