There are so many things to do in Las Vegas—from trying your luck in the casinos to watching concerts by the notable resident musical acts in the area. However, not a lot of people are into the city’s vibrant nightlife. Some people would rather go on fun-filled activities available in the area, while some would rather explore nature’s wonders.
If you’re one of the latter, head over to Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park in Page, Arizona, where you can go on an exciting trek in the Antelope Canyon!

What is the Antelope Canyon?
We know, there are lots of exciting things to do in Las Vegas itself, but, trust us when we say that the Antelope Canyon is one of the most highly sought-after destinations! Its surreal beauty which can be seen in its vast orange and gold sandstone walls has been a hotspot for photographers who visit here.
In case you don’t know, the canyon has two parts: the Upper Antelope Canyon and the Lower Antelope Canyon. The difference between the two is that the Upper Antelope is at ground level so it’s easier to access. Meanwhile, the Lower Antelope requires you to walk up and down on several flights of stairs and ladders.

Did you know? The Lower Antelope Canyon’s name in Navajo is Hasdeztwazi, meaning “Spiral Rock Arches” in English.
Compared to the Upper Antelope, the Lower Antelope is definitely overwhelming for a newcomer. This is why there are tours provided in the canyon to help them have a fun experience.

While the Antelope Canyon is open year-round, maximize your visit to the Lower Antelope Canyon by booking from March through October. This is when the light hits the right spot for you to take beautiful Instagrammable photos of you and the area itself. The Lower Antelope Canyon’s best time to visit, though? Definitely during the mid-day. If you’re looking for better rates, go during the off-season from November through February. January is the best month during the off-season to visit the canyon.
Going to the Antelope Canyon won’t be easy. You would need to drive to get there since the area is remote. Make sure to have ample plans on how to navigate your way there. For a fuss-free experience, Klook’s got you covered!

The Canyon Isn’t the Only Attraction in Arizona—the Horseshoe Bend Is Also There!
The Horseshoe Bend, as its name suggests, is a horseshoe-shaped landmark formed by the Colorado River. It is also located in Page, Arizona.
Similar to the Lower Antelope Canyon, it’s also a popular destination within the Glen Canyon as it features a beautiful warm red and orange-colored rock formation. Tourists can walk through this as well! What makes this landmark special is that around the horseshoe rock formation, there is a small river stream that flows around it.
The Horseshoe Bend definitely makes a perfect ending to the Antelope Canyon tours if you want to just relax and enjoy the scenery of the river encapsulating the horseshoe.

What Can You Expect While Touring the Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend?
Arizona is a desert territory, meaning it gets hot in the area. Unfortunately, the heat is not humid—it’s dry so you need to keep yourself hydrated and moisturized when you’re there. Bring a water bottle with you and even some lotion if your skin dries up easily.
Again, since the Lower Antelope Canyon is lower than ground level, the hike can be a bit more hectic. The journey is longer than usual since you'll encounter some steep ladders and narrow passageways along the way. To be as comfy as possible, don’t forget to bring proper hiking footwear that provides good support. We also recommend you pack light and make sure to not bring bags that are too heavy for lifting.
However, please exercise caution in going to the canyons if you experience health problems like breathing problems, hip/joint problems, or heart problems. Don’t forget to consult with your doctor first before booking a trip to the canyons!
