Get ready to discover a magical place! Antelope Canyon's sculpted sandstone walls offer memorable photo opportunities with a walkable corridor at the bottom of the canyon floor. It was formed by flash flood waters that rushed into the cracks of the Navajo sandstone along with the power of wind erosion. The daylight dancing through the narrow openings from the top provides multiple kinds of light reflections and colors.
From the canyon, you will visit an area where the Colorado River makes a 280-degree turn around the horseshoe bend shape of the rock, hence its name Horseshoe Bend. Getting there requires a 1.5-mile roundtrip (2.4 km) walk over sand and rocks. You will reach a 1000-foot canyon as you look down upon the mighty Colorado River at the bottom of Glen Canyon.
Antelope Canyon X, located southeast of the Lower Antelope 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. To access the entrance, the local Navajo guide will drive you with a jeep there as well as back to the customs booth when the tour concludes.
