Antelope Canyon

Post by Borknagar »

Has anyone been to Antelope Canyon recently? My brother and I are thinking about taking a trip up there. If anyone has been some details/Pics or anything really would be helpful.

Thanks

Do you have to have a guide when visiting?

It was a few years back for me and I dont remember having a guide in the canyon itself just to get out to the canyon, but I was coming from Page

Yes, it is a tribal park with controlled entrance. One of the conditions for entry is the use of a guide.

@Outdoor Lover
This place is not high on my list during the monsooners.

Official site....Both the upper and lower levels of Antelope Canyon can be visited only through guided tours by Navajo approved tour guides. In 1997 eleven tourists were killed in Lower Antelope Canyon by a flash flood. Very little rain had fallen in the canyon area, but an earlier thunderstorm had dumped a large amount of water seven miles upstream. That is why it is important to have an experienced guide and never try to take a tour when there is heavy rain, even miles away.

Uh, yeah, I was going to bring my freediving gear.
