Upper Antelope Canyon, sometimes called "Corkscrew" Canyon, is located in a dry (most of the time) sandy wash south of the Page city limits just off Highway 98. It is a 15-minute drive from Page by four-wheel drive vehicle. It is not advisable to travel there during rainy or threatening weather.

If you choose a photography tour, take along snacks and plenty of drinking water, at least one gallon per person during the hot summer months. Hats, sunscreen, sunshades, and comfortable shoes are a must. Once in the Corkscrew you will need a flashlight since natural light is limited in most areas of the canyon and it's hard to see camera settings.

Photographs are best shot with the aid of a tripod. Take along plenty of film and spare batteries for your camera. The best light is at mid-day, but good photos can be taken at other times of the day depending on the month. Plan on long exposures for the best photos. Do not change film or lenses inside the canyon as fine particles of sand drift down from above and can cause problems for your camera equipment.

Lower Antelope Canyon runs north from Highway 98 towards Lake Powell. It is more strenuous since entry and exit requires climbing down and up ladders bolted to the canyon walls. You pay the Navajo concessionaire at the gate when available for the lower canyon. Do not go into the canyon on your own due to the danger of flash flooding.

The following are the four tour companies in Page that are licensed by the Navajo Tribe, carry insurance and have trained guides to take you to upper Antelope Canyon. Only one of the four companies is licensed for Canyon X, a newly discovered slot canyon near Page on the Navajo Reservation.

All tours are subject to availability and weather conditions. Departure times may vary with the season. Cash, Travelers' Check, MasterCard or VISA accepted for payment. Prices shown include applicable taxes and Tribal fees.
