Enjoy a scenic drive from Las Vegas to the world-famous Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. Along the journey, take in unforgettable views of the Virgin River Gorge and the Escalante/Grand Staircase National Monument, and 80-mile views across the Colorado Plateau.
Antelope Canyon offers amazing photo opportunities between sculpted sandstone walls with a walkable corridor at the bottom of the canyon floor. It was formed by flash flood waters that rushed into the cracks of the Navajo sandstone along with the power of wind erosion. With the penetration of daylight through the narrow opening at the top of the canyon, enjoy a myriad of different light reflections. Admire the amazing color which makes this area a popular location for photographers and tourists. Choose between visiting Lower Antelope Canyon or Upper Antelope.
From the canyon, visit an area where the Colorado River takes a 280 degree turn around the horseshoe-shaped rock formation which gives the location its name. Walk a total of 1.5 miles to reach an overlook that is 1000 feet above the curve of the Colorado River.
