6Day 5. See Antelope Canyon And Horseshoe Bend
Horseshoe Bend is just 123 miles from Monument Valley. This is a great place to take a break. If you don’t like hiking, you can go kayaking on lovely Lake Powell. You will find alluring Antelope Canyon about 10 minutes away.
It is a stunning slot canyon that is highlighted by the wave-like effect the sunlight has on the canyon’s narrow sandstone walls. You can access it from either Upper Antelope Canyon or Lower Antelope Canyon. The former is more popular with those who prefer less challenging hikes.
Hiking the narrower Lower Antelope Canyon is actually fun even though the above-mentioned sunlight effect is not as impressive here. Keep in mind that you can only hike here with a guide. Additionally, you will want to get a permit well in advance to access Antelope Canyon as well.
If you have some time before you check out of your room in Page, visit the friendly Carl Hayden Visitor Center. You can learn a bit about the engineering and history of the local Glen Canyon Dam through several interpretive exhibits. Book a jeep tour and go stargazing as well.

Hi!
Your trip sounds good too but we had to cover a lot of area in 10 days. We all have our own opinions and favorites. I just think it’s great we have so many options!
