One of the best things about this tour is the privacy. Our tour guide was fantastic! Your tour guide will talk as much or as little as you’d like, explaining what’s next, giving you history on what you’re exploring, or answering all your questions. No one is rushing you as you stroll at a leisurely pace and take all the pictures you want. You get plenty of time to walk through the Slot Canyon. It’s an easy walk, but I recommend wearing tennis shoes or closed-toes shoes, because that sand can get hot. Once you arrive, you’ll park about 1/4 mile away from the entrance to the Slot Canyon. You’ll do some off-roading which is a fun adventure and get some extraordinary views. This is a protected Slot Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Tours is the only company allowed at this particular Slot Canyon.

You’ll ride in this open-air vehicle (which was a real crowd pleaser for the younger ones) from Page to Horseshoe Bend Slot Canyon which is on Navajo land. With extended family, we had 15 people on our tour ranging from grandparents to 4-year-olds. What to Expect With Horseshoe Bend Slot Canyon Tours So we decided to go with Horseshoe Bend Tours to visit the exclusive Horseshoe Bend Slot Canyon. There are usually a lot of people waiting. Plus you don’t really have the time to take pictures, even with the private tours there, because you’re rushed.

I’ve heard of hour waits and in the hot Arizona sun, that is no fun, especially with families with small children. The most popular tourist destination are the Antelope Slot Canyon Tours, but they are also a lot more crowded. We were spending some time at Lake Powell, and my husband wanted to show us some of his favorite spots. My husband grew up in Page, so he’s been everywhere in the area. One thing they (and I) especially loved was our Slot Canyon Tour (with no crowds). Here’s how you can visit the Slot Canyons in Page, AZ with no wait and get all the pictures you want! It was the first time we took all of our children, and I was worried they may not enjoy it since there were no theme park rides or shiny castles.

My family and I recently traveled to Lake Powell in Page, AZ.
