12/10/2023 0 Comments Horseshoe bend hike vs tour![]() ![]() ![]() It was so beautiful we all just sat there staring at it not able to get enough. There’s a 1.25 mile (round-trip) easy hike to Horseshoe Bend where you can look down at the Colorado River 1100 feet below. We loved Horseshoe Bend so much that we visited twice- Once during the day and the other at sunset. It was both dangerous, but also angelic as the sun rays streamed through the top casting light over the floating sand. This canyon was twisted in more than one way. The group had not listened (or perhaps didn’t understand English very well) to the guide when he was telling them to get out of the canyon and the water had come through quick enough to cut limbs. Apparently a tour had been in the canyon when a flash flood swept through and killed them all- except the guide. Meanwhile, the tour guides could constantly be heard saying, “don’t stop to take pictures on the stairs!” Or “Keep moving down, don’t stop on the stairs!” Yeah it was annoying.Ĭomplaining aside, it was a breathtaking view to walk through the canyon of red waves. We were surprised at how crowded Antelope Canyon was and the limited ability to enjoy it at our own pace and with our own space.Īfter waiting as a big group under the sun in the afternoon of July we slowly made our way down the staircases. You have to reserve a tour to visit Antelope Canyon, they will not allow you in on your own. It’s nice to change things up and visit somewhere close to home! We drove in our fun little mini coop to Arizona to visit the long awaited Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. ![]()
