- A trip to Lower Antelope Canyon. You do not need to reserve a spot, and it's cheaper than Upper Antelope Canyon. It also looks incredible throughout the entire day.
I just went here a few months ago, while you do not NEED reservations, I would highly recommend it. My tour was at 11am and the place was packed with people. Plus there was a chance of rain and my tour group was the last to go before they canceled them for the day. If you plan on going here, the tour guide said the best time to go is around 3. During mid-day the sun is directly above you and the light coming in makes it hard to take pictures above you without them being over or under exposed. The tour guides are awesome though and will help you take pictures. Remember to bring water because you will be down there a while. Also, don't worry about being over weight, there were bigger people in my group that did just fine. If you plan on spending the night, try to book early since they seem to fill up pretty quickly. I stayed out of town at the Marble Canyon lodge (45 mins away), which was cheaper, and you had BEAUTIFUL scenery during the ride there. While you're in the area, check out horseshoe bend on your way back.
+Julie N The reservations are a new addition. During the time of our visit, there were no reservations available. Only Upper Antelope Canyon provided this at the time. It sounds like you enjoyed your time there!
Antelope Canyon is a graveyard for the 11 people who drown there during a flash flood. Check the weather BEFORE going ... no one else will do it for you. If there's rain anywhere north of this place, postpone your tour.
Thanks! I'm a pure fat fuck like. Was well worried I'd need fished out.
The reservation is fully booked.
Really planning to go there in april.
Would we still be able to see some of it without reservations?

Perfect to watch while we are quarantined! Will watch again! Thanks for posting this
I'm finally getting around to watching this after forgetting that I put it on my watch later list. Lovely timing with the pareidolia definition.
+DesertZero I didn't even notice there are two distinct faces until after rendering the video. I only noticed the one in the foreground!
thanks so much for this video, i feel like i just did the tour myself
+potatothorn You're welcome!
Fantastic video! We'll be visiting in Nov & your video has given me a fabulous preview. The lower AC appears to be the more interesting canyon..
This was a great video! Thank you for creating it! It brought back so many memories. It was so peaceful when you were there, not so when we were there!
Nice! I've saved this to my large Arizona playlist, to the Antelope Canyon section, to share this with others. Thank you for posting!
Thank you for sharing. Absolutely breathtaking!
great video! thanks for sharing. We are going there Sept 2015 after Zion National Park. Glad to see this preview
dougsfield You'll love it! Will it be your first time to Zion as well? We visit Zion every year. It's our favorite place to hike!
*****
Been to Zion once before so this is a return trip. We are going to try the Hidden Canyon trail this time among others. Just have one full day there this time.
dougsfield
We are going to visit Lower Antelope Canyon the day we leave Zion (on our way to Bryce Canyon)
dougsfield We did the same thing. We left early in the morning and went to Lower Antelope Canyon. Don't forget to stop at Horseshoe Bend! It's right on the 89 near Antelope Canyon. It would be a shame to miss it! As for Zion, we have done Upper/Lower Emerald Pools, Riverside Walk, Weeping Rock, Angel's Landing, and Observation Point. This year we are going to attempt The Narrows(if we make it). I remember seeing the trailhead for Hidden Canyon on our way to Observation Point.
Nice vid. Thanks. Quick question im getting mixed info re what you can and cannot bring. I read somewhere that you cant bring backpack. But i see the woman in front of you has one. So can you? When did you go there? Is this the special photographer's tour where you pay more? Thanks!!
Great video!!
I am planning to go next year, and this video makes me feel sure about it.
Thanks! :)
Edgar Chavez Enjoy the trip! It's a beautiful place.
Great walkthrough, it’s like you’ve been there as well!
omg...this place looks so beautiful!!!!
Красота неземеая!Спасибо
Very detailed and helpful. Thank for sharing. I am going to visit there next week.
Amy Dai I'm glad you found in informative. Have fun on your trip. It will be very busy for Memorial Day/week.
Great video! I can't wait to visit here in October 2017!
We are looking to book a tour in the lower canyon.
You've metioned in the vidoe the "Phtography tour"
1. Which company is offering it in the Lower Antelope Canyoun?
2. Is it wort of the standard 1 hour tour is sufficient.
As for my understanding this is a 600 yards walk in 1 hr.
Does the guide push you through the canyon?
beautiful ..amazing ..love watching it sitting on my chair ..i am very afraid of high place even in a car ,,
what time of day is best to go to the lower antelope canyon?
Thank you it was beautiful.
Thank you for doing this video because I treally needed to know how tight and narrow it is my anxitiey would go through the roof great job
Is it dark in the lower antelope canyon? My mother has some vision problem in dark place.
Could you also please let me know if the GPS Nav works to this place to get help with directions?
I have asthma and was wondering if at all during the tour you found yourself out of breath? Thanks in advance
Patrick Sarandi if you go there while it's completely packed you seem to stop around and very 30-45 seconds so it shouldn't be a issue
I weigh 230 and have asthma and was able to make it all the way through. There are a few places you have to go back up stairs but it's gradual. the worst is at the end when you go up about 20 stairs but you have to watch your head. I didn't, and almost knocked myself out. LOL
This was during summer? I see everyone wearing jackets. Is it cold inside? We chose summer around 11, us that a good time?
It's way over 110 degrees in Arizona during the summer so it's scorching hot. The canyon is underground so it is cooler. Wear light clothing if you plan to see the canyon during summer.
Did anyone have mini tripods, and were you able to take nonshaky shots without a tripod? Also, I've reading reviews about how dark it is in there. In the video it looks very light.
omg u so lucky i am going on a tour it will be the second day of my tour i have to wake up at 4-5 oclock am my mom says goin to lasvegas on august 2 love ur videos
I'm planning on going here next month, and everyone in my group decided to go to lower canyon. Can you still take good shots of people and if the canyon itself in the lower canyon?
I know this is a really old video but you may see this comment. If you buy the photographer pass and get 2 hours in the canyon alone, and they are bringing new groups through on tours every 15 minutes, how is that possible?
Do I have to book the visit in advance? How long can I stay ?
I'm going to Sedona and want to hike this, can you provide a link as to where I can get this photography permit from!?
glad I went in the 80's.
good video. going down stairs with rails I have no problem. are there a lot of going up stairs? how many stairs without rails? thank you nice video
This was great. Thank you
Hi, thank you for this great video, I'm a little claustrophobic , I've been trying to watch videos so i exactly know how is it inside the canyon . Since Antelope Canyon is a dream for me so I know i must overcome with my fear. I have one more question you mentioned the cost is $28 but i cannot find that price at any website. I was wondering how you got your ticket. thanks again for this video. it sure helped a lot.
I'm headed there in a few days and am debating between taking the regular vs photograph tour. I have a Canon xti that would fit the dslr bill but feel I would be more comfortable with my point and shoot. (I just got the Canon). ALSO I'm afraid the tripod requirement would be a hindrance. Would a monopod be accepted? I'm so EXCITED to see this marvel.
Hard to imagine anyone out of shape (overweight and weak) making it though places like at 7:45 in the video. I'm curious about how they keep this place free of the urban scrawl that blights outdoor city walls. Is this place locked up at night to keep out taggers?
Noe Berengena You would be surprised. You would have to be overly obese to encounter problems. There are gates at the entrance, and past tagging is what caused the solution of charging an entrance fee, as it used to be free.
***** It's good to know that there are precautionary measures to keep this natural area free of mindless defacements. I have a really low regard for taggers.
Noe Berengena I share the same sentiments. I see tagging and littering everywhere I go. It doesn't matter what country, and it doesn't matter how rural the area. I'll never understand the mentality of either.
what tour agency did you take? how many minutes to see the entire Lower Antelope?
It was Ken's Tour, and it was over an hour long.
What time did u go?
Thanks for the video and the info
No problem!
how much is the tour
how much is the tourl
I thought you had to reserve to go down the stairs into the lower? Awww man we just booked reservations for 5pm whenjts cooler a bit and last tour so less crowd :) ahhhh! Didn’t know we could just go without reservations?????
You don’t have to book a tour for the lower?
do you think a fat person can make it through the lower canyon? I'm fat but I can move around, I'm just claustrophobia... because I read that lower is narrow compare to the upper canyon? I wanted to do both upper and lower this weekend. thanks.
nkaujhmoobvwj Sorry for the late reply. Were you able to do the lower? It is pretty narrow in quite a few spots, so it could be tough for larger fellows.
Hi. Np. We did both..we did good. Love lower canyon better. Thnx.
Amazing !! Thanks a lot! You have taken my decision-
+Gerald Weber Yes, you must go! Enjoy your trip.
We went through the canyon yesterday. Just got home to Phoenix..
WILDLY beautiful, but I'm jealous that yours was so empty.
The group right before us was a group of at least 50 (from Asia, God bless em) with other people behind us.
Not sure what we got extra for the "deluxe" tour that was TWICE as expensive. Well, we DID get a goodie bag!
Amazing and breathtaking!
Is it too cold out there?
Hi there! we will go there next week. Are 7 and 5 yrs old allowed to go in there?
Yes Irene, children are allowed. It can be dangerous for the younger ones, so don't let them get rowdy within the close quarters and crowds of people.
I went here today and it was amazing! The guides were so nice especially Roe. Would highly recommend. Cost came out to about $50/pp. Per their instructions, please do not film and be respectful of the rules. They do not allow videos!!
Do you still need reservation? we are going there next week
I'll be traveling to Phoenix next week and driving to the Grand Canyon (either the west or south rim) and I'd like to go to this spot for a tour also! I tried looking up Lower Antelope Canyon but I'm getting multiple spots - some in AZ and some in CA. Would you be able to let me know exactly where you took this tour at? Thank you!!!
It's in Arizona, just off of Route 89, south of Page and north of Horseshoe Bend overlook.
Planning antelope valley and grand canyon trip as well. How did it go? Any suggestions?
We were just there last week. They were totally sold out at 9 in the morning for the rest of the day. GET RESERVATIONS AHEAD OF TIME! We had reservations made 3 months prior to arrival.
question do u need a hiking permit?
+leslie cruz No, you go with a tour guide
Antelope Canyon is expensive, Escalante is just as good/free. There is a video on my channel if your curious
Hi Russell, nice vids, you are talented!
There web site says admission is $8 per person, then something about a fee for a tour guide, is that in addition to the $8?
Did you make reservations for a tour guide? Did you have to make it in advance or when you arrived that day?
Then they say you need a $50 photographers permit to take photos, is that for someone on vacation taking regular photos, not a commercial photographer. I plan on making the trip next spring (maybe May like you did), and I have a a D800, would like to take some nice photos for myself, and maybe some video.
However I'm confused about the fees at Lower Antelope Canyon, did you get a Photographers permit (how much)?
As mentioned, I'm a bit confused, any clarification and details would be appreciated.
Thanks
***** Hi Jon, I think you confused the commenter, Russell, with me. The pop-up windows throughout this video answer all of your questions! You do not need a photographer permit unless you intend on taking a tripod (not needed for most cases) and want 2 hours to yourself. There are no reservations, and you must be escorted down. There are more detailed answers throughout the video.
photograph tour: kens tour or dixie elli?
any recommendations? anyone?
+Mr. Andric This was Ken's, and I was happy with it.
+Prouisorsapientiae ok thx
Magnificent!
This is really helpful! Planning to do this on Jan 15th, 2017. Any idea how doable this should be weather wise then? I plan to drive to this place from Grand Canyon in the morning and do the 10am tour and then drive back to Vegas.
I hope you don't plan on going to the North Rim, because it's closed in the winter. If you plan on going north on I-15 through Kanab and south on the 89, you risk going through a snow storm due to higher elevations. Even taking the south route on I-40 to Flagstaff and north on the 89 poses a risk that time of the year. It should be doable as long as there isn't a big storm in the area. GPS works fine, but make sure it's an actual GPS unit, not a phone GPS which relies on a phone network to work properly.
Prouisorsapientiae yes plan to do the south rim on 14th stay overnight in Grand Canyon national park, see the sunrise next morning (15th Jan) and then start off for the lower antelope canyon ....finish off by 12pm and then right after that ...drive back to Vegas n be back in Vegas by evening ...sounds good you think?
Prouisorsapientiae so basically I will be driving from south rim to lower antelope canyon in the morning and then from lower AC to Vegas in the noon/ evening
That's doable for sure!
Prouisorsapientiae thanks so much!! I just needed some validation for my plans ... I have been told that the route I am planning to use, usually doesn't get snowstorms as Page is at a lower elevation compared to Sedona or Flagstaff...hopefully the weather stays okay ...fingers crossed!
Can I bring my bose and listen to Phish for 13 hours for a certain price 🤔🤔
Thank you for the awesome video!
lol!
Or info on how to do a 2 hour photo walkthrough alone. I do not want to go on a regular tour.
+Christina Luciano You purchase your passes when you show up. You can make a reservation if you want. lowerantelope.com/?page_id=53
Thank you so much for the info and link!!! helps a lot
Crazy there is a photographer who caught one of the same angles you did....
I think most people who have visited capture the same angles, honestly. You can only take so many different pictures, especially in such a popular place like this.
if the tour last an hour or so then to be a complete walkthrough in twenty minutes is a bit of a stretch
i am having a claustrophobia attack just watching this video... and what if it rains? even 5 miles away... yer toast!
was this shot with the d5100??
Russell V Yes, it was!
*****
thanks you have motivated me to start using my d5100 again... i am a amatuer at video
*****
what do you shoot in...raw ??? or jpeg ????
Russell V With video there is only the standard .MOV file on this camera. Watch my D5100 video settings video on how I set the camera to get good results!
*****
thank you !!!
the best looking place to break your ankle
Can I bring my 6 year old child in there?
Edwin Edw Of course, when I went there everyone had their children there.
those stairs days are #. ha.
THIS IS WHERE THE BRITNEY SPEARS SONG WAS RECORDED!!!!!
Also, great video this totally helped me get a positive mindset of this trail
👍
Dang is it a tour thing I hate tours
Tim Batchelor More or less. I just went ahead of the guide a little ways and it was pleasant.
I just hate how you have to pay to see nature like come on!!!
Tim Batchelor Yeah, I know what you mean. Apparently it use to be open land, until graffiti became a problem. I've seen similar things happen in other places in this country, and abroad. Have you heard of "The Wave" in Coyote Buttes, Arizona? You have to play a non-refundable lottery just to get a chance to pay for a single day permit to see it. It irritates me to no end. I can understand both sides of the argument, but where do you draw the line? It's a slippery slope. Give an inch, take a mile.
7 people don't like nature.
OK I see my bad
This canyon is cursed with the death. I know.
+shanefanon That's a fairly arbitrary statement. Our entire existence is cursed with death. What makes this canyon so significant in your eyes? Do you have a story? Are you Navajo?
+Prouisorsapientiae I think in 2011 12 people were killed by a flash flood, and since then they require you to enter via guided tour.
Can my fat butt fit in these holes?
Jerry Harrington I'm 365 lbs and 6' 3".
I think it's BS to have to pay $50 just to take pictures of a natural structure, Everyone has to turn a buck I guess!
Thomas Beaudry Don't forget to include federal and state governments. The average entry fee at a national park is $15 per car, regardless of how many people are in it. Like I mentioned previously in the comments, charging or not charging entry fees is a slippery slope. There are positives and negatives to both.
Theres is a 8$ fee that goes to the Navajo reservation. Thats why its expensive. To go in the grandcanyon in a car, is well over 100$
So don't go.
how much is the tour

Aida Blanco came out to about $50.
