From Las Vegas, explore the unique and magnificent landscape of Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend! You will depart from Las Vegas in the morning and arrive at Antelope Canyon during its prime time. Antelope Canyon is located at northern Arizona and is one of the world’s most well-known slot canyons. Through millions of years of natural weathering, the soft sandstones are chiseled into the unique visual marvel it is today. After you bid your farewell to Antelope Canyon, hop back on the bus for a short 10 minute ride. Arrive at the beautiful Horseshoe bend, yet another fantastic sight of nature to behold. Near the edge of the cliff at 4,200 ft above sea level is where the entire panoramic view of the bend can be seen. Finally, you will then be returned to Las Vegas with your sensory intake already maxed out for the night and left with an unforgettable journey.
Itinerary
Located southeast of Lower Antelope canyon by the gateway town of Page, AZ. This part of the canyon is chiseled out by millions of years’ worth of flood erosion and impactful winds on its sandstone, enough to sculpt out the iconic "X" shape that aptly named the canyon. Canyon X is a nice mixture of the characteristics of both Upper and Lower canyon, with the Upper’s feature of pillars of light and the Lower’s steepness. Canyon X is also deeper than the other two by comparison, and with it brings ample photo opportunities. It truly is a great vacation spot for photography as well as in-depth exploration of a slot canyon.
Our day tour also include a visit to breathtaking Horseshoe Bend Overlook. You will thrill to see a view from 1000 feet above the Colorado River as you look down upon the mighty river at the bottom of Glen Canyon. Horseshoe Bend is an area where the Colorado River makes a 280-degree turn, providing almost unreal views of desert, river, cliffs and canyon. This spectacular view point will surprise and delight travelers and add to a memorable day.
