re: Lower antelope canyon

You need to be part of a tour group with a Navajo guide so book in advance. You can’t enter the canyons on your own.

We stopped in Page for an overnight after Bryce and did Lower Antelope the next morning before heading to the Grand Canyon South Rim that afternoon. Delicious casual BBQ at Big John’s in Page.

For Upper Antelope I understand they take you out there in Jeeps. For Lower Antelope you walk to it from the tour company office and it’s not that far. For Lower, you do have to climb up and down some metal ladders, most are short 4-6 step ladders except for the initial decent ladders, and go through some narrow passageways. Being in my late 50’s but otherwise in ok shape, I fretted over this beforehand, but it was no big deal and there were people way older than me doing it.

It’s a great experience that you will never forget.
