1. Horseshoe Bend
See the Colorado River wrap around the sandstone below. The trail is exposed, so carry water and plan around the heat.
2. Antelope Canyon
Visit with an authorized Navajo Nation guide. Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon offer different experiences; reserve ahead.
3. Skylight Arch
A quieter desert outing with broad views. Confirm road conditions and route difficulty before setting out.
4. Toadstool Hoodoos
A relatively approachable desert walk through balanced rock formations. Shade is limited.
5. Glen Canyon Dam
Take in the dam and Colorado River landscape, then confirm current visitor-center access.
6. Navajo cultural experiences
Seek experiences led by Navajo guides and organizations, and follow all access requirements on Navajo Nation land.
7. Alstrom Point
A remote viewpoint requiring serious route planning; high-clearance or four-wheel-drive access and local guidance may be appropriate.
Bonus: stargazing
Leave part of the evening unplanned. The desert sky is one of the simplest pleasures of a stay here.
