Route
How does the day work?
Your chosen option reaches Upper by shuttle or on foot before the guided canyon walk.
- pass by
1. Upper Antelope Canyon entrance
Shuttle options use an off-road vehicle along the unpaved approach. You meet your Navajo guide at Upper's entrance.
- 110 min
2. Upper Antelope Canyon approach
The hiking option reaches the entrance on foot. Your guide shares Navajo stories along the way, with a walk back after the canyon visit.
- 50 min
3. Upper Antelope Canyon
Light shifts across Upper's sandstone walls as the sun moves. The Navajo guide leads your walk through the canyon.
Your guided walk inside Upper lasts 50 minutes. Hiking adds an approach and return on foot, while shuttle options use an off-road vehicle. Each option ends at its assigned meeting point.
Pickup and meeting point
- Meeting details: Your meeting point arrives by email in the 3 days before departure, or earlier. Page time is Mountain Standard Time year-round. Use Phoenix time on your phone.

- What to wear: Comfortable outdoor shoes are recommended for the walk. Wear clothes for the season, and bring water for the desert.

Good to know
Know before you go
Shuttle options accept ages 8 and up, while Hiking starts at 9. Strollers and walkers aren't permitted on these routes. The hiking approach is intended for experienced walkers.
Wear comfortable outdoor shoes and clothing suited to the weather. Water matters on the dry desert walk, and bags aren't allowed inside Upper. Camera supports and selfie sticks must stay behind.
Unsafe conditions can shut the canyon. Local canyon operators or Navajo Parks make that decision, so a booking doesn't guarantee access in bad weather.
Hiking check-in is 80 minutes early, and late arrival loses your place without a refund. Navajo Nation time runs one hour ahead of Page from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. The clocks match the rest of the year.
Customer cancellations receive no refund on this booking. That applies to the shuttle options as well as Hiking. A change to your travel plans doesn't create a free cancellation window.
A single booking and the tour group each have a limit of 14 travelers. Booking is immediate, but the operator's separate check-in number follows. Bring that number and valid photo ID when you arrive.
