If you’re hoping for a specific tour time, I would recommend booking farther out in advance. To book the Lower Antelope Canyon, you need to make a reservation online as late as the same week.

I didn’t see the beams of light in the Lower Canyon but was still blown away. Some photographers go to the Upper Canyon specifically for beams of light. This is one of the most sought-after tour times, so if you reaaaally want this one then you will need to plan. The best time to see this canyon is around noon or when the sun is the highest. Photography tours are over $100 and get you two hours. The Upper Antelope Canyon is $48 per person, compared to the $25 of Lower Antelope Canyon. You can only see the canyon if you book a tour because it’s within Navajo Nation. Summer is a prime time to see the canyon, and weekends sell out far before the summer begins. To book the Upper Antelope Canyon, you should look into doing so at least five months in advance. Here are a few photos the clear turquoise waters. The lake has a $25 entrance fee and since our trip was cut short, we decided to save the lake visit for another day. The day was pretty long, especially since we only had two hours of sleep, but both sights are 100% worth witnessing at least once in your lifetime.īefore I go into the tips and several photos, I also want to note we planned on visiting Lake Powell but were only able to grab some photos in the distance. If you live in the Phoenix area, it is completely possible to drive up at 4:00am and then leave Page after sunset. While the trip was originally suppose to have an overnight stay, we unfortunately had issues with our hotel and decided to drive back the same day.

In this post, I broke up Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon (upper and lower), and even touch base on Lake Powell. The start of this summer, my friend, Victoria, and I ventured off to Page to see these phenomenons located in Najavo Nation. The beauty of these canyons are best enjoyed in person because it’s so raw and real. But after seeing both places, I am happy to report that I was wrong.

The natural phenomenons are something I thought the painted-like canyons were overly edited in photos. Northern Arizona contains the beautiful, highly-visited Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend.
