Antelope Canyon X Hiking Tour (with Option Upgrade to Photo Tour)
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Antelope Canyon X, located southeast of Lower Antelope canyon by the gateway town of Page, Arizona, is named after the Xs carved into the Navajo Sandstone created by millions of years of rainfall and wind. This part of the canyon is chiseled out by millions of years’ worth of flood erosion and impactful winds on its sandstone, enough to sculpt out the iconic "X" shape that aptly named the canyon.
Canyon X is a relatively new scenic tour and the lesser-known cousin of Upper/Lower Antelope Canyon, which results in fewer visitors by comparison to the other two.
Canyon X is a mixture of the characteristics of both the Upper and Lower canyon, with the Upper’s feature of pillars of light and the Lower’s steepness. Canyon X is also deeper than the other two and brings ample photo opportunities. It truly is a great vacation spot for photography as well.

What To Expect
The 1.5-hour Antelope Canyon X hiking tour begins at the Navajo Nation Reservation. After parking and payment, you are transported in a 4×4 transport vehicle 3 miles to the mouth of Antelope Canyon X, where you then hike 100 meters into Antelope Canyon X. At the bottom, tour guides assist you through a tour of the first slot canyon. After the first slot canyon is complete, guides accompany you on the 200-meter walk to the second slot canyon. If you are choosing the photography tour, you will have 2.5 hours in canyon. This tour is for photography hobbyists, people looking to spend more time in the canyon and make use of a tripod.

5.00The description is very accurate. The staff were all very nice and informative. Our guide Thomas was awesome-fun, knowledgeable, and kind. He brought his drum (he made it from Mule deer hide) and played and sang about wishes for safe travels and positivity. It’s a steep, but short downhill walk to get to the slot canyons, but you do have to go back up. I believe special assistance can be arranged, if needed.
Highly recommended

5.00This was a great tour overall. The guides were extremely helpful and shared useful tips for getting the best photos. The tour started and ended right on time, and you get about 1.5 hours in the slot canyon, which goes by quickly. Dress appropriately, as the canyon can feel cool at times. Hiking boots are not necessary, but a good pair of sneakers is important. I wore trail running shoes and they were perfect. There are no restrooms inside the slot canyon, so be sure to use the porta potties at the check-in area beforehand.
Highlight of our trip!
