Many visitors consider it the more adventurous of the two, with narrow corridors and fascinating twists and turns around every corner.

Our local Navajo guides are there every step of the way to assist and encourage you. Thousands of visitors travel through Lower Antelope Canyon each year and make it through just ﬁne if you’re comfortable navigating stairs in your daily life, you can do it here as well. After our canyon tour, we’ll stop to take in the breathtaking views at Horseshoe Bend this time from above.

Early afternoon, we’ll begin our journey home with a stop for lunch on self at the historic Cameron Trading Post, where the expansive menu offers something for everyone and there’s time to browse Native American arts and gifts. We’ll then continue home with scenic stops along the way, bringing our remarkable adventure to a close.

Discover Kartchner Caverns

February 16th, Monday………….……………...$139

Nestled In November 1974, two adventurous cavers, Gary Tenen and Randy Tufts, set out across the limestone hills at the eastern base of the Whetstone Mountains in search of “ a cave no one had ever found.” What they uncovered would become one of the most significant cave discoveries in Arizona history. Protecting their find, the pair kept the cave a closely guarded secret for more than three years before finally sharing the news with the landowners, James and Lois Kartchner, in 1978. Recognizing the cave’s extraordinary scientific value and its vulnerability both the discoverers and the Kartchner family were determined to safeguard it. Their careful efforts eventually led to a partnership with Arizona State Parks, whose proven stewardship made it possible to preserve this world-class wonder for future generations. Today, Kartchner Caverns stands as one of the most spectacular “live” limestone caves in the world. As water continues to seep through the rock above, delicate formations grow in real time stalactites stretching downward like shimmering icicles, stalagmites rising like ancient pillars, and rare minerals forming shapes found almost nowhere else.
