9Hike In Waterholes Canyon

If you’re having a hard time getting in to explore Antelope Canyon, or just really have a big thing for slot canyons, then you really need to visit Waterholes Canyon! This is a technical slot canyon found south of Page. The upper section of Waterholes Canyon is located above Glen Canyon’s rim on the Navajo Reservation and thus a guide is required.

The lower portions empty into the canyon to the river, which is part of the gorgeous Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Within a distance of four miles, Waterholes Canyon drops 1,500 feet. It is similar to Antelope Canyon, just eight miles away, but it draws a lot fewer visitors, which means there’s less of a wait time for the tour, and it is less crowded.
