#5 Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend
Northern Arizona's Best Adventure!

Departs Flagstaff, AZ – You’ll be whisked away to beautiful Antelope Canyon on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona, one of the most popular—and most beautiful—slot canyons in the American Southwest. Its walls, carved by flash floods over millennia, glow with warm hues of orange, pink, and purple. Horseshoe Bend is one of the most photographed places on earth. And with good reason: it’s stunning. At 1,000 feet deep and three-quarters of a mile wide, the Colorado River bends in a U-shape around red sandstone walls. Both destinations are highly accessible when you are visiting the Grand Canyon and are NOT to be missed. These two special places are hands-down two of the most iconic images of the Southwest. Although this adventure has a 1/4 mile hike in Antelope Canyon and a 3/4 mile hike to Horseshoe Bend, it can be done by nearly anyone.
