Day Two: Colorado River Rafting Adventure & Dinner
Breakfast is included at the hotel before we set out for one of the most memorable experiences of the tour. This morning we’ll travel to Lee’s Ferry to begin our Horseshoe Bend Raft Trip, operated by Wilderness River Adventures. This smoothwater float offers a wonderfully relaxing way to experience the dramatic beauty of the Colorado River and Glen Canyon perfect for travelers seeking adventure without whitewater. After a short scenic drive, we’ll board a comfortable motorized pontoon raft for approximately three hours on the river.

Breakfast is included at the hotel before we set out for an unforgettable morning exploring some of the most iconic scenery in the Southwest. Today we’ll visit Upper Antelope Canyon, located on Navajo land and accessible only by guided tour. Known as the more accessible of the two canyons, Upper Antelope Canyon features a flat, sandy floor with no stairs, making it easier to navigate while still offering a truly breathtaking experience. The canyon is shaped like an “A,” with narrow passageways that open above, allowing beams of light (when conditions are right) to filter down and illuminate the swirling sandstone walls in stunning shades of orange, red, and gold. These smooth, wave-like formations have made it one of the most photographed slot canyons in the world. As you consider this experience, it’s helpful to know that while the walking is relatively easy, the canyon can be sandy and uneven in spots, and tours move at a steady pace. All travelers should be comfortable completing approximately one mile of walking within an hour. Our local Navajo guides will lead the way, sharing insights into the canyon’s formation and helping point out some of the most striking features along the route. Travelers with mobility concerns are encouraged to call the office prior to booking to ensure this experience is a good fit. Following our canyon experience, we’ll begin our journey home with a stop for lunch on self at 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, arriving back in the Valley by early evening.
