Little Extra Detail

Antelope Canyon is actually a group of narrow “slot” canyons carved into sandstone, with well‑known sections like Upper Antelope Canyon, Lower Antelope Canyon, Canyon X, Owl Canyon, Rattlesnake Canyon, and Mountain Sheep Canyon. These sections are all in the same general area near Page, but tour check‑in points and trailheads are spread along local highways on Navajo land (for example along Highway 98 east of town for Canyon X).

Because it’s on Navajo Nation land, you can only visit Antelope Canyon on a guided tour operated by authorized Navajo outfitters, and most tours start from Page or from nearby Navajo-operated facilities.

TL;DR: If you’re typing directions, aim for “Page, Arizona” and then book a Navajo-guided tour to Upper, Lower, or Canyon X Antelope Canyon just east of town.
