Know before you go

Controlled Lots

Horseshoe Bend uses a city-managed paid parking system that often reaches capacity by midday. Canyon tours have dedicated staging lots; arrive 30 minutes early as required by operators.

Navajo Land Coverage

Cell service is consistent in the town of Page but can be non-existent inside the slot canyons and remote lake areas. Always keep a hard copy of your tour confirmation.

Desert Distance

Page is the primary hub for fuel and water; supplies become very sparse once you head toward Kanab or the Kaibab Plateau. Do not depart town with less than half a tank.

Tour Duration

Standard tours last approximately 90 minutes; however, weather-related flash flood warnings can cause immediate cancellations. Lighting for photography changes by the minute.

Mobility and Gear

Lower Antelope involves steep metal ladders and narrow squeezes; Upper is generally level but involves soft sand. Most operators prohibit backpacks and tripods inside the canyons.
