1 Day in Page: Canyon X + Horseshoe Bend | Arizona Day 4

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- Our last full day in Arizona was spent exploring Page, Arizona, a small town in Northern Arizona that is home to many incredible natural wonders, like Horseshoe Bend and the crazy popular Antelope Canyon. We enjoyed an amazing sunrise at Horseshoe Bend and then skipped the traditional Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon experience and went to Canyon X instead! It was an AWESOME day!

OH MY GOSH...that was amazingly beautiful! To think I lived in Arizona just shy of 14 years and DIDN’T see any of that! Wow...just breathtaking! I smile watching you two...thanks for giving a great tour!
You gotta go back!!! It’s so incredible all over Arizona, but especially up in Page!
Guys, Do you notice in your video 4.42 minute the person that was walking in your back fell like stupid. that was super funny LOL awsome video thanks for the info.
Oh my gosh we never noticed that hahahaha but now we can’t stop watching it 🤣🤣🤣 Great eye!
All the more funny as they're talking about about the need for being careful on the edge of horseshoe bend - people fall and die. Thankfully that person wasn't on the edge 🤣
Oh gosh that would’ve been so traumatic! We did see some people getting wayyy too close to the edge in the wrong kind of shoes though 😅😅
4:42
I was a click away from booking the lower antelope canyon tour and I remembered I had not watched your AZ videos yet. So glad I did! Now we’re booked for Canyon X tour in May 2022. Thanks guys!
Yay! It’s an awesome tour (at least it was then, so we hope it has stayed the same)!
Page is amazing I live here and everything you can go around town. Everything is such beautiful here everything such beautiful here go on hikes everything like that it’s so beautiful I live here.
It's and awesome spot!
We went to Canyon X back in June of 2019 after watching this video. It was awesome! We loved this hidden gem. Thank you for the recommendation! This video got me started on your channel, and I've been enjoying all of your recent videos too.
Aw yay! Canyon X is so spectacular! We are so happy you enjoyed it and are enjoying the more recent videos 😄
Definitely will go to both these places when in Arizona!
This was one of our favorite parts of the state!
Omg! Love following your videos! They are so helpful! We are going out west in a few weeks and your tips have been great!!
That makes us happy to hear! We hope you have a great trip!
Thank you so much for your fabulous videos. It really helps me plan what I would want to do on my trips. ❤️❤️❤️
That's awesome to hear! Check out our website as well. We have lots of guides and itineraries for many of the places we have visited and we can be much more detailed and thorough in our written content! Thanks and thanks for watching!
So the website says theyre open sunrise to sunset, what time were they actually opened since you got there when it was still dark? Cause that’s what i have planned but dont know what time i should be there.
Love AirB&B's. They are the best. Those canyons were beautiful. Never been there. So is it a hike to the canyons or did the tour take you right there? That dinner looked DElish!! The puppy was SO cute and love the name!
The tour guide took us on a shuttle to the canyon and then hiked down there with us. It was incredible! And that puppy makes me melt, so precious!
Horseshoe band and Canyon X are amazing, really mind-blowing video. big thumbs up!
Thanks y’all! They are two of the coolest natural wonders we have seen! 😍
I had no idea about canyon X! When I went, I checked out both upper and lower antelope canyon when I was traveling there. I preferred lower antelope canyon with had about the same group size as what y’all had and I got great pictures. The canyon wasn’t as tall as upper so their was more light and more vivid rock colors! There is also a meteor crater about an hour away from that area that was amazing to see! What great adventures y’all have! Peanut butter and jelly over here!
We really wanted to do antelope canyon, but this was an awesome alternative! We will have to try to find that crater next time!
Nice video. H-Bend is still nice; but I remember it being so much better when it was not widely sought after or ran by the gov; many times there by myself of with the wife and kids...just pull in to the dirt/sand parking area and walk down the (unimproved) path. A recommended stop; just up the road, there is a Denny's on the left, take Scenic View Road for about half a mile and park in the lot. A 3 minute walk down the railed steps gives a great view of the river and dam (go over the railing if you are in need of some really incredible photos). Photographer Peter Lik, sold his famous photo "Phantom" for 6.5 mil in 2014 (most expensive ever) was shot in Lower Antelope Canyon. There was a time when a person could pay an extra fee (I think it cost me about $70 10 years back) and "self guide" yourself thru the lower slot from either direction (they wanted you out within 90 min). Some great photography on that day. Another day not so great; I had my camera poking thru "camera opening" in the fence on the Glen Canyon bridge for a midnight shot of the dam. As I drew the camera back thru the opening to adjust the clip on filter; "click", my +$200 filter detached and started it's 700' decent to the river below. I still have not taken a boat ride (from Page) to the Rainbow Bridge (arch).
With its popularity, it’s probably for the best that it is managed to ensure people do not destroy it. Can’t trust humans! That sucks about your filter! And we’d love to do that boat ride someday 😃
Hi! I just booked from the same website as you, did they give you any issues about a backpack or taking your camera?
Hi! We could not bring a backpack at all (we left it at our Airbnb), but we had no issues with our camera! We normally use a stabilizer and microphone for our vlogging camera and just took that off for the tour. We also brought our DSLR just fine too and took TONS of photos. The only rule (unless you do a photo tour) is no tripods, if I remember correctly. I hope that helps!
Thanks you very good
❤️💙
i've heard that you can't bring anything in the canyon? but where did you leave your wallet and pasport and such things?
Hi Sylvia! We left all of our stuff at our Airbnb and since we stayed close by, we went to the Airbnb right after to go pick it up. I hope that helps!
Thanks!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thanks, we can't do that because we are leaving our hotel early. Are there any safes our something at Taadlin tours?
Unfortunately not :( it’s basically just a stand in the middle of a parking lot. However, you could probably hide your belongings in your car and be okay. There seemed to always be people around and you likely wouldn’t have any problems!
@@AdventuresofAplusK My family and I was in this canyon June 2018, nothing was said about our wallet and personal belongings. check out our video if you have a moment
Thanks for sharing this video! You two had alot of fun. My question is: how long did it take to go through Canyon X and do you have to take a guided tour of Canyon X or can you do this on your own? Just trying to save some money! LOL Thanks again.
Hi! Totally understand the whole saving money thing! You do have to have a tour for any of the Canyon X/Antelope Canyon experiences. I can’t remember how long the tour was, but probably 1.5-2 hours I’d say!
@@AdventuresofAplusK WOW! That was quick! We plan on going to spend a day in Page like you2 and planned on Horseshoe Bend and the dam for sure. If the Kayak rental is full then Canyon X will be the order of the day. We will be there 1 June so hopefully the crowds for the kayak are light. The person at the rental place said we SHOULD have no issue getting one. We are staying at an Airb&B in Orderville, UT so there's that drive to do!
NorgeMan you caught me when I was on my phone (which is too often lol! 🙈🙈). Kayaking sounds sooo fun! We wish we could’ve done that!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I have watched videos on Zion, Bryce and the North Rim which is where my family and I are going as well in this trip and when I have posted questions the response fromeverybody has been very quick. TH-cam rocks! Thanks, have a outstanding day and Toodles!
NorgeMan that’s awesome! So many of us love to help when we can!
What camera/lens you use to record this amazing videos? Thanks!!
Hi! We used a Sony A6500 and a 18-105 mm lens. All of our gear we use is listed here if you want to see what else we use! kit.co/AdventuresofAplusK/vlogging-photography-gear
We are going to Page next week for a couple of days (I'd say 1.5 days as we will arive at noon from Las Vegas). Do we need to book a ticket in advance for Antelope X?
I would try to give them a call. It’s been several years since we’ve been there
I remember less than 10 years ago, Horseshoe Bends parking lot had maybe a dozen spots….crazy how IG exploded it’s growth.
Hi.. do you need to make a reservation in antelope canyon? And how? Thanks! Great vids!
Hi Leah! Yes you do. We booked our tour for Canyon X here: www.antelopecanyon-x.com
For the upper or lower antelope canyon here is a list of some options for tours: navajonationparks.org/guided-tour-operators/antelope-canyon-tour-operators/
We hear they fill fast during the busy season, so try to book early! Hope that helps! 😃
The air bnb looks so comfy, so nice
There is a $50 hiking tour and a $140 photography tour, why that difference?
Another great vlog my little Staffie Sunny loved watching the puppy on tv as well 😁😁
Hahaha that’s adorable! 🐶 Kona loves to watch (eh, more like bark at) dogs on the TV! 🤣
Hello! Beautiful videos! I am going to canyon X in a few weeks. Do we need to purchase admission in advance?
We'd highly suggest it, as I believe they fill up.
Air BNB is not a sustainable form of tourism. Please consider hotels and resorts in the future if you care about the communities that you are visiting. #Sustainable Tourism !!
Has anyone done both Lower antelope canyon and Canyon x? If so, which one would you recommend if you had one choice?
Thats literally the same airb&b I just booked lol
No way!!! We LOVED it! The decor and style was 😍😍😍
Hey guys! We recently road tripped around California and crossed over to Arizona for these beautiful spots. Thanks a lot for the guide. Canyon X was a great tour with low crowds! ❤️
That sounds like a super fun trip! We’re so glad this was helpful and that y’all had a great time! 🤗
If you guys go back to this area, I'd highly recommend hiking Cathedral Wash. It's a bit of a drive as it's out by Lees ferry, but it's 'technically' in the Grand Canyon NP. Wear a swim suit under your hiking clothes as you can swim in the Colorado river at the bottom. No need for a guide. I wouldn't say it's an alternative to Antelope/Canyon X as it has a different feel, but if you want to do something where you have freedom without a guide/group, it's an excellent thing to do in addition to one of the others. Friends of ours tipped us off. They skinny dipped as they didn't know there was river access. They told us to wear swimmers and we're mighty glad as there were 2 boats full over river rafters moored up on the other side when we got to the bottom 🤣🤦♀️Saw no one on the way down and just 1 family on the way back out.
You always have the best tips! This sounds like a blast! We prefer free activities, so this one will be on the list for next time. And noted: bring a swimsuit lol! 🤣
Hey!!! Quick question! Where did you guys park to go to horshoe for sunrise? I heard the parking lot isn’t open 24/7.
Hi! We parked at the official parking lot. It opened just before sunrise for us, so we were able to get in. I swear I found some info on their hours recently, but now I cannot find it. 😭
Made.Allahe o Amber.people are not made hills.then lailaha illullah mohammad rrasoolullah❤
I've wanted to visit the canyon and never heard about canyon x, so I appreciate finding this out from you two thanks
It was a really neat experience!
when is the peak time of the year for canyon x? the air b n b link expired.
A wonderful place,Nice Trip
Thanks Memee! It was so much fun and a gorgeous place!
How far is canyon x from horseshoe bend?
Hi Andy! It’s about a 25 minute drive.
Adventures of A plus K thank you!
We are from texas also. We are heading out there in 2 weeks. What’s your suggestion for horseshoe bend. Sunrise or Sunset.
We personally loved sunrise because it was less crowded than what our friends experienced at sunset. The sun rises in front of Horseshoe Bend, so it turns a very beautiful pink color! If you go for sunrise, get there earlier than the actual sunrise to enjoy that pre-dawn light. Once the sun actually rises, it starts to get a bit shadowy in the bend.
Have an awesome trip! 🙌🏼
Is it mandatory guided tour?
Yes it is guided by the local indigenous tribe
Did anyone see Bigfoot fall in the background at 4:43
Just did both HSB n Canyon X last week. Both are amazing and weather was really good, can’t expect better in December. HSB is a must see, it is breathtaking
Yes it is! Awesome!
We were just there! Here’s a link to our video of experiencing that beauty at sunset! th-cam.com/video/04eMpPlWHbc/w-d-xo.html😊
Canyon X is the ticket. Went there January 2020 on a photo tour and it is so cool. Page and surrounding area is beautiful. Safe travels.
We loved it so much! 🙌🏼
How was the temperatures when you guys went? We’re planning to go January 2022
can you share what organization you booked a tour with?? going this weekend!
is canyon x walkable for seniors? i heard antelope lower has steep stairs and ladders. will canyon x work better? thx
Hi! There are no ladders in Canyon X, but they do have a steeper sand/dirt section you have to walk down to get to the canyons. If I remember correctly there may be stairs/or some material on that part so people do not have to just walk on dirt and have something to grip their shoes to. It wasn’t crazy steep, but definitely a decent incline. But we did not experience any of the ladders or super steep stairs we have seen at the other canyons. I hope that helps a tiny bit!
@@AdventuresofAplusK thanks very much! it seems a little too much for my senior parents. i think even horseshoe bend maybe too much for them too.
Horseshoe bend does require a small walk (somewhat up and downhill and sandy) unfortunately 😭 There are some pretty viewpoints though of Lake Powell in Page that don’t require any walking! Wahweap is a good one, as is the Dam Overlook!
@@AdventuresofAplusK thanks, is page a nice town to walk around and explore the downtown?
We didn’t really see a downtown to be honest, but maybe we weren’t in the right area! 😕 One fun thing you could do is go on a boat tour on Lake Powell!
What month did you guys visit in?
March or April. It’s been awhile can’t fully remember 😊
Only ONE DAY?! You missed out and need to come back... LOL
We totally agree! Darn work giving us limited vacation days 😫
@@AdventuresofAplusK haha come visit www.libertyvacationrental.com next time and we'll give you a multi night discount and show you some gr8 spots
Hi guys just wondering what time of year you guys were there? We are going in early May so want to gauge from your clothing what its going to be like for us haha. Also where do you get the inspiration for the music in your videos? Always go so well
Hi Ryan! This was mid April! Pretty nice temperatures. A tad chilly in the AM, but pretty perfect in the afternoon. And we got this music from Epidemic Sound. It’s really a “randomly click on songs until I find one I like” process 🤣
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thanks for the info got exactly what i need : )
Is the tour guide for canyon x free?
No it is not. www.antelopecanyon-x.com
What time of year did you go?
This was in mid-April! 😃
Why are all these roadtrips being recommended to me...makes me want to go during quarantine :')
We’re sorry to torture you!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Its bittersweet hahah thank you for sharing!
Of course! 🤗🤗
Ron and I will be visiting Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon next month in mid May 2022, along with other National that you vlogged about. He booked the Antelope Upper Canyon tour that comes with the guide taking our photos, and it was very expensive at $398 for both of us!! I sure hope that steep price tag is worth it, and I'll let you know here on TH-cam in June.
We had a great time out there. We hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
How was the Upper Canyon photography tour? Worth the steep price tag?
@@brandonkays7548 YES!! Our guide took incredible photos with my iPhone and these photos and the memories were certainly worth this this steep price! As the saying goes: You Only Live Once!
@@AdventuresofAplusK For sure, my boyfriend and I both LOVED Antelope Canyon and our tour guide was awesome too!
Nice adventures enjoy have fun, great.
Thank you!
@@AdventuresofAplusK ❤👍
How much is the tour to the X Canyon (the photo tour) is this tour without a lot of people?
We did their regular tour (not the photo one) and it looks like it costs around $38/person. Their photo tours are around $115/person. The non photo tour groups were pretty small and they kept good distance between the groups so it never felt crowded. We were able to hang out in many areas without people in the way. But it may be more popular now than it was a year ago!
Where did you book the tour ?
Hi! We booked it here: www.antelopecanyon-x.com/ but I believe they are currently closed.
voice over was spot on - lol
Hahaha that wind was insane!
A friend of mine just went to Page also, and I was telling her I wanted to go after seeing the pictures. We just returned from Oahu, and I made my first set of travel videos from that trip. Feel free to check them out and let me know what you think. Now you have me looking up travel info to Page! LOL Thanks for sharing, A plus K!
I just went to Canyon X and drove up to book. I was lucky because many booked before and after my time.
I was the only one on my tour! Marcus was a great guide.
Oh nice! That is very lucky!
Great video. I know you mentioned what was the best time of the day to visit the cannon, but did you mention what month it was when you were there? Thank you.
Hello! This was filmed in April 2019
I wonder how much gold is down there 🧐 lol
Beautiful video! Do you remember what month did you go here?
Thanks! April if remember correctly!
How much for the slot canyon tour? And do we have to drive to that place?
I would check their website for the most up to date info www.antelopecanyon-x.com and you drive to their parking lot then they take you out in a van to the actual canyon
To visit Antelope canyon and Horseshoe bend do you have to book tour ?
Antelope Canyon yes, Horseshoe Bend no
Is South Canyon a part of Canyon X? Or was it a different tour all together?
We just did the one Canyon X tour, which had two canyons you got to see in it. Did we call one south canyon? (I can’t remember) If so, then yes the same tour!
Hi, when did u guys go? Great video! Thank you!
Hi! This was April 2019!
Horseshoe Bend is amazing, isn't it? Have been there a couple of times and it won't be the last time. Coming at sunset is a great idea cause you'll have the sun behind you and it will shine onto the front portion of the rock. In the afternoon when the sun is in the west you look straight into the sun, which is terrible for films and photo's. Antelope is similar amazing only so difficult to make pictures: they are either too dark or too light. Second time we did the photo tour around midday and saw the beam coming in from the top which is spectacular.
The beam from the top is so cool! We missed that a bit (we tried to time it right, but it didn’t work out), but from what we have seen it’s gorgeous!
Do you mean “coming for sunrise “?
Do you need to book a tour for Canyon X ?
Hi! Yes you do, but I believe they are still closed due to COVID.
Love seeing airbnb tours. I still have never stayed at one.
They are a great option!
😊🥰🥰😅😅😅👍👍👍
Loved it ❤️💙.
Thanks so much Don!
2.5 hours ? North Grand Canyon ?
Hi! We didn’t go to the north Grand Canyon unfortunately.
How do you book canyon x
www.antelopecanyon-x.com
What time of day did you go?
I believe our tour was around 11 AM!
👍👍🙌🙌
Thanks for the love! 🙌🏼💗
Jealous! As a serious hobbyist photographer, I've been wanting to go out west to HSB and the slot canyons. Canyon X looks promising. Really enjoy the videos...keep it up!
Thanks so much Jason! We hope you get the chance to make it out there--it's incredible! There is soooo much to do between Page and across the Utah border.
