Detailed itinerary

From the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, our route takes us through the Sonoran Desert up past the picturesque mountain town of Flagstaff. This historic Route 66 town lies at the base of the largest mountain range in Arizona, the San Francisco Peaks, which we will be able to gaze upon as we continue to travel north to the Lake Powell region.

Along our way, we will enjoy a visit to a Navajo Trading Post and explore the Navajo culture and their intricate crafts.

Stop 3

Upon arrival to Page, Arizona, we will begin our tour of spectacular Lower Antelope Canyon. Here we will tour Lower Antelope Canyon with a local Navajo guide who will lead you through the amazing natural formations of this world-famous slot canyon. The photo opportunities will be second to none! This tour requires steady footing, balance, agility and grip. Walking in loose sand and navigating stairs and ladders is required.

We can also include a photo stop of Lake Powell or Glen Canyon Dam an addition to stopping for lunch in Page (own expense)

Stop 5

After our time in Antelope Canyon and Page, we will embark upon a scenic one-mile walk to Horseshoe Bend Overlook which is highlighted by awe-inspiring views into this deeply carved channel and the Colorado River below. Photos from the edge of this natural beauty are widespread across the world and are nothing short of amazing. This requires a 1.5 mile round trip easy walk on a hardened path with no shade.
