The Experience
Before You Go
Book Antelope Canyon Early
Lower Antelope Canyon requires an optional on-site ticket and fills quickly—reserve a guided slot in advance or plan for a shorter viewing window.
Carry Water and Electrolytes
Long drives and dry air dehydrate quickly—carry 1–2 liters for day segments and electrolyte replacements for desert legs.
Respect Wildlife Distances
Yellowstone animals are wild and unpredictable—stay at least 100 yards from bison and follow the guide’s lead for safe viewing.
Pack for Temperature Swings
Days can be hot in the valleys and cool at higher elevations; layers and a lightweight waterproof are useful year-round.

Conservation Note
Visitors should stay on boardwalks in thermal areas and follow local Navajo guides at Antelope Canyon to minimize erosion; water use and noise are key concerns across fragile desert and geothermal sites.
The route crosses landscapes shaped by Indigenous Navajo stewardship, 20th-century dam projects at Glen Canyon, and the conservation milestones of Yellowstone—the first US national park (est. 1872).
