Lower antelope canyon

I’ve only been to Upper Antelope Canyon. Worth seeing at least once.

Only way you can get there is with a tour.

And there are no actual bathrooms when you get to the canyon (FYI). There are some at the entrance to the area....but then it’s another I think 5-10 minute drive from there to actual entrance of canyon.

It’s become very popular in recent years so tours sell out quickly. And there are multiple tour companies so it can get crowded from all the tours.

If you go you should also check out Horseshoe Bend. Just know....Page is a tiny town with not much to do there. Breakfast options are either Denny’s or the breakfast menu at the fast food places. If you go in the warmer months you could explore Lake Powell though. In the winter months....dress warmly...it snowed when we went Feb 2019.

Eta: they watch the weather conditions closely so if there is rain....your tour may be canceled/rescheduled. They have had people on tours get trapped and died in flash floods in the canyons so they are very careful now. If you go on a tour they can show you evidence of what the flash floods have done (ex: in the upper canyon we saw a massive log wedged at the top of one section....way high over our heads....that was left over from a flash flood that had filled the entire canyon)

You need to be part of a tour group with a Navajo guide so book in advance. You can’t enter the canyons on your own.

We stopped in Page for an overnight after Bryce and did Lower Antelope the next morning before heading to the Grand Canyon South Rim that afternoon. Delicious casual BBQ at Big John’s in Page.

For Upper Antelope I understand they take you out there in Jeeps. For Lower Antelope you walk to it from the tour company office and it’s not that far. For Lower, you do have to climb up and down some metal ladders, most are short 4-6 step ladders except for the initial decent ladders, and go through some narrow passageways. Being in my late 50’s but otherwise in ok shape, I fretted over this beforehand, but it was no big deal and there were people way older than me doing it.

It’s a great experience that you will never forget.

Went to the upper. Rode out on some kind of ATV/bus vehicle. When we had just gotten out of the slot canyon and loaded back onto the vehicle, an incoming flash flood was radio'd in to the driver and he floored it through the entire washout basin back to the road

I went to Upper last summer. The place is amazing. Are you a photographer? If so, take the photography tour. It’s triple the cost but well worth it.
Horseshoe Bend is amazing as well.

Damn, glad I went last year
