Day 5 (July 15): Sightseeing around Page - Antelope Canyon and Big Waters - Part 1
Today both the places turned out to be an amazing experience. So splitting this into two parts. Part 1 - Antelope Canyon tour (less driving) and Part 2 - Big Waters (all driving)
1) Antelope Canyon
We had booked our tour for Antelope Canyon (upper) at 1:20pm and should report at the tours before 30mins from the tour time. It was a lazy morning, had our breakfast at the hotel relaxed for the day. We started 12:35pm and reached on time. The tour costs $90 per person and in that cost $8 dollars should be in cash. The entire tour is for 90mins, 30mins for drive to and fro and 60mins in the Canyon.
Open ground parking:
It was super hot when we started so had sunscreen applied. Its mask mandatory, so all were wearing mask. The tour started promptly in a 4x4, due to covid restrictions, only 6 can be in a vehicle and per tour guide, so we and another couple were in one vehicle. It didn’t feel hot once the vehicle started.
It was a 3 mile ridge (approximately 15mins) to reach the Antelope Canyon entrance.
Drive to the entrance
Entrance to the Canyon:
Our tour guide looked very knowledgeable in photo spots. And helped in taking and teaching us to take photos inside. The place was very cool inside and views very breath taking. We are amateur photographers and it didn’t do justice to what we say, it was simple amazing.

Our tour guide Sherry, very helpful and patient while we were taking pictures
Antelope Canyon is a nice place and should be in all our list to visit.
Next, in the evening we are planning to go to Glen Canyon- Big waters to check if it offers something better... that would be part 2
