Located near the city of Page, Arizona, Horseshoe Bend is, as the moniker itself suggests, a horseshoe-shaped meander sculpted by the glorious Colorado River. Upon hiking to an overlook sitting at 1,200 ft above the river, you’ll get to soak in the most spectacular vistas that no photo can do justice to. However, this area has a lot more to offer! The American Southwest houses a plethora of amazing canyons, one of which is the awe-inspiring Antelope Canyon. This serene slot canyon situated on Navajo land and formed by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone offers the most breathtaking and unique passageways rife with striations simply begging to be seen.

What’s not included:
The best thing about hiking Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon is that it is beginner-friendly and everyone can participate, even children! Walking to Horseshoe Bend Overlook is an easy short walk with a small incline. When it comes to walking to Antelope Canyon, it is half a mile long and flat and it entails walking down a series of stairs with handrails. Keep in mind, the weather in summer can be very hot and you’ll also be packing a daypack filled with water and other things you’ll need throughout the day. In wintertime, the weather is unlikely to include snow, so you don’t need to worry about it.

We did a full day tour of Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon Dam and Antelope Canyon. Excellent experience. We had glorious blue skies all day while we were personally driven and accompanied by our gracious, polite, knowledgeable and very accommodating guide, Jonathan. I am NOT one to hike or even enjoy the out of doors… but he was so patient with me and made it all so do-able, that I enjoyed myself! He brought plenty of water and was mindful of our need to hydrate which I needed! I thoroughly enjoyed hearing facts & folklore of the region as he drove. (He was a good listener too!) Having a driver just makes it all so relaxing, and allowed for us to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
All 3 sites were FABULOUS, MUST SEE locations. So I am grateful to RED ROCK TREKS & Jonathan, for helping me do just that.
