Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend from Sedona

The crown of the day is a visit to Lower Antelope Canyon with a 1 mile hike with a Native American guide. This lower section of this corkscrew canyon requires a bit more effort but the reward is fewer visitors and a more intimate experience. The unique water and wind carved sandstone walls change color as the angle of light changes throughout the day. This portion of the canyon has a north/south orientation so light strikes some portion of the walls during most of the day. Your guide will talk about the formation of the slot canyon and offer suggestions for taking the best photos along the way.

Grand Canyon with Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon Van Tour

Mary_C, May 2026

Fun..felt little rushed

The van ac didn't work...the trip back we switched to a better van 1/2 way back which helped. Driver (Jeff) was knowledgeable and engaging. Would have liked a little more time at canyon but understand to stay on schedule the timeliness was needed. Overall only gave a 4 instead of 5 due to van issue, not fault of driver. Would do again.

Know before you go

Oak Creek Canyon is a must-see for outdoor enthusiasts, adventure travelers, and photographers.
Plan ahead: The drive is lovely but there aren’t many places to pull off and enjoy the scenery.
Be sure to bring along sun protection and plenty of drinking water, as it’s easy to get dehydrated in the arid climate.
Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking over uneven surfaces if you plan to get out of the car and explore.
