Good to know
Know before you go
Deer Canyon requires moderate fitness for a 135-foot stairway. Children younger than 6 can't join. The hike isn't recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor heart health.
Wear closed shoes for the trail and steep steps. Your own water is recommended. Hiking sticks can be requested from Antelope Valley Canyon Tours, but availability isn't guaranteed for your departure.
Bad weather can cancel this canyon outing. The canyon can flood when rain falls upstream. Your visit depends on safe conditions across the drainage, even when it isn't raining where you're standing.
Check-in is 30 minutes early on Page's year-round Mountain Standard Time. Navajo Nation clocks run an hour ahead from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. They match otherwise, so use Phoenix time on your phone.
You can reserve places for 1 to 30 travelers at once. The tour maximum is 50, which doesn't establish the walking-group size per guide. Your booking reserves places on a shared outing.
You receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure. Later voluntary cancellations don't qualify for a refund. The cutoff is tied to the tour's scheduled start.
