The Upper Antelope Canyon tour is the more popular route because more sunlight enters the canyon and the walls reach up to 120 feet. Shaped by millions of years of water and wind erosion, the magnificent canyon was named for the herds of pronghorn antelope that once roamed the area.
Several authorized tour operators in the area lead groups to the canyon and impart their knowledge about the area’s history and geology.
Guided tours are required to visit Antelope Canyon, located on private land within the Navajo Nation.
