Day 3 - Antelope Canyon
Tour Antelope Canyon and Hike to Horseshoe Bend
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.

Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Activity: Approximately 2.5 miles of hiking in Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. You must be able to climb up and down several steep, ladder-like staircases.

This was one of my hiking trips of a lifetime! Peru is absolutely beautiful and Melanie with ChicasAbroad made sure everything was taken care of for a stupendous experience! The hiking was phenomenal albeit challenging. Just proved that you can do difficult things, especially with the support of Melanie and all the Chicas hiking with me. Daniel, our guide that Melanie found was THE BEST guide I have ever had on any previous trips on my own. Melanie does not miss a beat and I rest assured knowing that she takes care of everything. The hotels and lodges we stayed in were wonderful! If you are thinking about traveling to a destination, utilize ChicasAbroad to join a trip or plan a trip of your own! Top of the line service and experience!!!! Can't wait to go on another one. This was my third trip with ChicasAbroad!

By Patricia M for Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, & Inca Trail Adventure on Aug 25, 2025

Wow, thank you so much for this incredible review, Pat! 🌟 It means the world to know that your Peru adventure felt like a trip of a lifetime. The hiking there is definitely challenging, but you showed so much strength and determination—and I’m so glad you felt supported by me, our wonderful group of Chicas, and of course, Daniel (we agree, he’s truly the best!). It’s always my goal to make sure every detail is taken care of so you can focus on the experience itself, and I’m so happy that came through. Knowing this was your third trip with Chicas Abroad makes it even more special—we absolutely can’t wait to share another adventure with you soon! 💛✨ - Melanie

What an incredible amazing time I had with the women who guided and attended the San Juan Islands August 2025 trip. It was challenging to kayak and camp the way I did but I have immense gratitude for that experience. The women were all so wonderful and the trip was so well-organized. I 100% recommend Chicas Abroad plus also I will be looking at future trips. Thank you so much!

By Teresa (Terry) F for San Juan Islands Sea Kayaking Adventure on Aug 25, 2025

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful feedback, Terry! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the San Juan Islands adventure and embraced both the challenge and the joy of kayaking and camping. The community of amazing women is truly what makes these trips so special, and we’re grateful you were part of it. We can’t wait to welcome you on another Chicas Abroad journey soon!

The Apostle Islands Kayak Camping trip is definitely for folks who can appreciate a physical/ mental challenge in the outdoors and are prepared to expect the unexpected from Mother Nature. I am new to camping and had limited paddling experience, but found my stride while experiencing an epic adventure with a great group of friendly and supportive woman, all unknown to me prior to enrolling. The trip was enhanced by the excellent , professional and experienced guides who prioritized the group’s safety and well-being, prepared delish snacks and meals, and taught many newbies like myself how to navigate a persnickety but beautiful Lake Superior. I learned quite a lot about backcountry camping fundamentals that I will carry with me on my next outing, and I returned home feeling so much gratitude and respect for these women, the water, and the wilds of this rotating rock we call Earth. Thank you Maddy, Abby, Gitchie Gumee, and the Chicas Team, for the opportunity to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience and education.

An amazing trip with amazing women! Melanie and Tygra provided us with a great experience, taking care of the details so we could absorb and enjoy the wonderful scenery. This trip has been on my bucket list and thanks to Chicas Abroad, I can now cross it off! So glad I did it!

What a treat to just show up and enjoy a fun filled weekend in Walla Walla! This was my first trip with Chicas Abroad and it did not disappoint. Melanie created an itinerary that provided opportunities to be active as well as some down time. We rode bikes to the wineries with a guide, attended the balloon stampede, hiked, ate delicious meals, and enjoyed each other's company. I am already looking forward to my next Chicas Abroad trip.
