Route map + Trailhead

I haven't added a map for this hike yet, but I hope to soon!

Trailhead Coordinates

36.902474, -111.411019

The directions link below drops a pin on the trailhead coordinates and lets Google Maps pick the route. If the drive has rough roads or access issues that GPS nav might get wrong, I cover that in my trip report.

Outdated information

This report is from before I put more time into writing and taking route photos, so it may not be very helpful. I'm keeping it up for the memories, and will one day hopefully return to better document. Find other reports in this region.

Nov 9, 2012 — Antelope Canyon has been photographed countless times, and the colors and light is unmistakeably inspiring for photographers and tourists alike. However! It's probably the most well-known slot canyon, and with its proximity being so close to Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon, makes for an easy destination. Plus, the Navajo market the crap out of it. Though I only saw a few people I feel like this is uncommon. If you go without a guide, the solitude can be rewarding, but I believe lately the canyon requires a guide. In 2012 when I checked out the canyon, if you have a camera and tripod, you can get a "photographer" permit and enter the canyon without a guide. Not sure this is the case anymore.
