The experience

The van picks you up from your Las Vegas hotel before dawn and drives toward Page, Arizona. A four-hour run that gets you to Lower Antelope Canyon when the light is right for photography. A Navajo guide leads you through the slot canyon's narrow passages and colorful rock formations, explaining the geology and the Navajo history tied to the place. The canyon floor is tight enough that you'll be moving through shafts of natural light, and the guide points out the details most visitors miss. Wear closed-toe shoes and pants or shorts. Bags and tripods stay outside.

After the canyon, you stop at Horseshoe Bend, where the Colorado River makes a dramatic U-turn below a high overlook. The vantage point gives you the full curve of the river in one view. Then comes a photo stop at Lake Powell before lunch: a sandwich (beef, turkey, or veggie), chips, and water. You'll tell your guide your sandwich choice the day before the tour, or turkey comes by default.

The return to Las Vegas takes the afternoon and evening. The whole day runs fourteen hours door to door. The air-conditioned van, all entry fees, lunch, bottled water, and snacks are included. Some options include a Navajo permit fee that you pay the guide when you arrive at the canyon.
