About Lower Antelope Canyon

Group of tourists exploring the Lower Antelope Canyon during a day tour

Lower Antelope Canyon is one of the several slot canyons that make up the Antelope Canyon in northern Arizona. A few miles away from its more famous counterpart Upper Antelope Canyon, this canyon is slightly longer and features winding paths, narrow passageways, and sandy floors that add to its adventure.

Height: The canyon walls reach around 75 feet (about 23 meters) at their tallest points.
Layout: Lower Antelope Canyon is characterized by its V-shape. It is narrower at the bottom and wider at the top. 
Navajo name: Hazdistazí which means "spiral rock arches" in Navajo.
Access: You will need to navigate flights of stairs and ladders.

Things to know before booking your tour

  • Access to Antelope Canyon is only permitted through guided tours due to its location on Navajo Reservation land. 
  • Lower Antelope Canyon is not wheelchair accessible since it involves navigating narrow pathways, climbing ladders, and descending steep stairs.
  • If you have mobility issues, are claustrophobic, or have a fear of heights, consider opting for Upper Antelope Canyon instead. It’s more spacious and is easier to navigate.
  • There is a daily cap on the number of visitors at 1,500 people. Book your tickets in advance, especially during peak season from March to October.
  • The light beams are most distinct during the summer months, particularly between 10am and 2pm. Plan your visit during these hours to make the most of your canyon experience.
  • Unlike Upper Antelope Canyon, which requires a jeep ride to reach the entrance, you can walk directly from the tour operator's office to the entrance of Lower Antelope Canyon.
  • Lower Antelope Canyon is located near Lake Powell, making it prone to flash floods despite its desert setting. For safety reasons, tours can be canceled if there's unfavorable weather, particularly during the rainy season from June to September.
