There was no more space in the next tour going to the canyon but there were spots open in the following one.

We came here and bought our tickets at the counter and without reservation. You can make a reservation for the tours in advance or buy your tickets at the booth right outside of the main building of Ken’s Tours. I toured the canyon with a new friend I just met the day before also at Horseshoe Bend. For the upper canyon, you have to hop on board some kind of transportation to get to it in the first place. This is mainly because you can walk basically from the parking lot directly down to the canyon. The advantage of the lower canyon tours is the cheaper price, compared for the upper canyon. Ken’s Tour is one of two tour companies offering tours into the lower canyon. Otherwise, you have to pay the entrance fee again for the upper canyon in addition to the tour guide. If you are planning on visiting the upper canyon, save your receipt. Besides the tour guide fee, there is an entrance fee to enter the tribal lands. A young couple I met at Horseshoe Bend recommended to see the lower Antelope Canyon and go with Ken’s Tour. The upper canyon tours were fully booked for that day.

Because the canyons are located on the Navajo Tribal Park grounds, you can only access them with a tour guide. Water eroded through the softer layers of the Navajo Sandstone and formed this narrow canyon. It was formed the same way as Horseshoe Bend. Antelope Canyon is a so-called slot canyon. You probably have seen pictures of Antelope Canyon without even noticing where they were taken. On my way to the power plant I passed signs for Antelope Canyon and I did some research on it to find out what it actually is. I drove there to check it out and see if it would be a great spot to take a photo of. Near Page is a coal power plant and I saw it already on my drive towards Page. I mainly came to Page for the Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado River and to explore Lake Powell. During my weekend out in Page, AZ I also visited the Lower Antelope Canyon.
