Today we will take a guided tour to Horseshoe Bend and Lower Antelope Canyon. We’ll see the Painted Desert and Navajo Nation, and enjoy lunch at Glen Canyon Dam and shop at Cameron Trading Post.
Antelope Canyon is the most visited, most photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It’s one of the most famous in the world, known for light beams peering down through walls of Navajo Sandstone.
Along our drive through Oak Creek Canyon, we'll see the San Francisco Peaks overlooking Flagstaff and the Painted Desert, a colorful landscape of every hue.
Our experienced local guide will share insights about the ancient cultures, geology, flora and fauna along the way. We'll see the Navajo Nation, the largest Indian reservation in the United States, and learn about its people.
At Horseshoe Bend, we’ll take a 1.5-mile round-trip hike to the Overlook for a spectacular view. The mighty Colorado River cuts through Glen Canyon 1,100 feet below and unveils how the bend got its name. We'll have lunch at Glen Canyon Dam and see Lake Powell, America’s second-largest, man-made lake.
In Page, Arizona we’ll meet our Navajo Guide for a 60- to 90-minute tour of Lower Antelope Canyon. We’ll descend into an amazing slot canyon carved by flash floods and eroding winds and learn about the many colors of Navajo Sandstone and why the canyon is sacred. Our Navajo Guide will offer tips for taking dazzling images of the narrow passages.
On the way back to Sedona, we’ll stop at Cameron Trading Post to shop for authentic Native American art and souvenirs.
After returning to Sedona, we will enjoy a group dinner.
