Sedona to Antelope Canyon Tour with Horseshoe Bend

What the Sedona to Antelope Canyon tour covers

The day runs 11.5 hours from $312, rated 4.9 ★ (1191 reviews), with groups of up to 12 people. Pick-up is from hotels and addresses inside the city limits of Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek at roughly 6 to 6:30 a.m., and the driving north follows Oak Creek Canyon and the high country before dropping towards Page. The timed parts of the day are 90 minutes for the Upper Antelope Canyon scenic tour, 30 minutes at Horseshoe Bend, 20 minutes at the Glen Canyon Dam overlook and a 15-minute break at the Cameron Trading Post.

Upper Antelope can only be entered on a guided tour with a Navajo guide. There is no self-guided option and no walk-in access at any Antelope Canyon location, which is why the canyon portion of this day is a fixed, escorted block rather than free time. The walkable section is about 660 feet (200 m) long, roughly 120 feet (37 m) deep, walked one way, and subject to a two-hour limit on time inside that has applied since 1 May 2011.

Pack light for the canyon itself. Clear bags only are allowed at Upper Antelope, tripods and monopods are banned, and cameras and phones are fine. Closed-toe walking shoes and a light layer make sense because the sandstone interior stays cool even when Page is hitting an average daily maximum near 96.0 °F in July. Navajo Parks also prohibits drones, dogs, rock climbing and littering, and alcohol is prohibited across the Navajo Nation.

Light beams in Upper Antelope show up mainly from April through September, and only on clear, sunny days. Your canyon slot here is set by the operator's schedule rather than by you, so treat beams as luck and the sculpted walls as the reason to go. Every time around Page runs on Arizona time, Mountain Standard with no daylight saving, so check the clock in your phone against local time before pick-up morning.

The day step by step

1. Oak Creek Canyon
   The first stretch out of Sedona runs through a 16-mile gorge of red rock walls, streams and waterfalls. Scenic driving, seen from the vehicle in the early light.
2. Horseshoe Bend 30 min
   Thirty minutes at the bend in the Colorado River just outside Page, reached by a 3/4 mile hike from the trailhead. The viewpoint sits 4 miles south of Glen Canyon Dam and 7 miles north of mile zero of the Grand Canyon.
3. Antelope Canyon 90 min
   Ninety minutes for the Upper Antelope Canyon scenic tour, walked with a Navajo guide on a one-way route through the slot.
4. Glen Canyon Dam Overlook 20 min
   Twenty minutes above the dam, with Lake Powell on one side and the canyon downstream on the other.
5. Cameron Trading Post 15 min
   A 15-minute break at the historic trading post on the drive back south.
6. San Francisco Peaks
   The peaks above Flagstaff fill the windscreen on the last stretch towards Sedona. Scenic driving, no stop.
