• Antelope Canyon

Located in northern Arizona, Antelope Canyon was formed over millions of years by the erosion of soft sandstone by various forces, including flash floods during the monsoon season. The rapid surge of water, combined with the canyon's narrow passageways, causes significant vertical erosion, resulting in the corridors at the canyon's base and the smooth, flowing edges along its walls. Though it is a slot canyon, when you descend to the bottom, it feels like a magnificent natural palace. The canyon walls appear soft but are solid rock, with surfaces that seem carefully polished. When sunlight enters the serene canyon, the dance of light and shadow creates a mesmerizing spectacle.

• Horseshoe Bend

Named one of National Geographic's top seven photography spots in the U.S., Horseshoe Bend features the Colorado River, which glows a fluorescent green under the sunlight, winding in a 360-degree curve through the red-brown canyon. This meander creates a stunning horseshoe-shaped bend, giving the site its name. Standing on the cliff's edge, you'll be captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the blue sky, green water, and red rocks.

Tour Duration:

Antelope Canyon: Approximately 70 minutes

Horseshoe Bend: 1 hour
