Today take an amazing day tour to “Secret Antelope” Canyon and the breath-taking Horseshoe Bend Overlook. Secret Antelope Canyon is part of the Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon system and is still an undiscovered gem with group sizes that are limited to just a fraction of Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons.
It begins with boarding a shaded, open-air, 4x4 tour truck and taking a short 3 mile drive from Page, AZ on Highway 89. From here, you will exit the highway and enjoy a thrilling six mile off-road adventure drive through sandy washes, rolling hills to arrive south of Lake Powell in Secret Antelope Canyon. There you will enjoy a 300 meter nature walk to the entrance of one of the longest slot canyons to be toured on the Navajo Nation. You will have up to an hour to photograph and meander through the slot canyon and back out to the vehicle for the return ride back to the Horseshoe Bend Overlook on Navajo land.
We will avoid the congested public parking lot for Horseshoe Bend Overlook, and will take a private dirt road which leads to within 100 meters of the edge of the canyon. From here, you will have a much shorter walk to the rim and from there be able to stroll along the side of a 1000 foot drop. The undulating sandstone provides various angles and views of the Colorado River as it meanders around a rock promontory, creating the horseshoe-shaped loop beloved by visitors and photographers from around the world. This portion of the tour lasts approximately an hour and allows for phenomenal picture taking. From here, we will return to our office near Antelope slot canyon in Page, Arizona.
