Mountain Sheep Canyon Photo Tour

Highlights

Description

The Mountain Sheep Canyon Photo Tour offers photographers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture Arizona’s most striking slot canyon without the usual crowds. This exclusive 2.5-hour guided experience limits group size to six, ensuring quiet, focused time for every participant. The journey begins at the Black Streak Canyon Tours office near Page, where you’ll meet your guide and prepare your gear before heading to the canyon. Once inside Mountain Sheep Canyon, you’ll find dramatic shapes and light that shift throughout the day—narrow passageways where the sun’s soft glow turns the sandstone walls into waves of color. Early mornings deliver cool, bluish tones with long, gentle shadows, while late afternoons bathe the canyon in rich gold and orange hues. This specialty tour is perfect for photographers who want ample time for composition and creativity. Your Navajo guide will share insights about the geology and formation of the canyon, helping you understand both its artistry and its origins. Tripods, wide-angle lenses, and manual cameras are required for best results; smartphones are not permitted. With limited access and professional support, the Mountain Sheep Canyon Photo Tour provides a rare opportunity to work at your own pace, connect deeply with the landscape, and return home with extraordinary images.
