Rattlesnake & Owl Slot Canyon Tour

Highlights

Description

The Rattlesnake & Owl Slot Canyon Tour showcases the stunning sculpted sandstone of Northern Arizona in a small-group, guided format perfect for families and photographers. Beginning near Page, this hike explores two of the region’s most beautiful canyons—each with its own distinct shape, light, and story. First, venture into Rattlesnake Slot Canyon, a narrow corridor known for its winding walls, glowing colors, and dramatic sunbeams that filter through the rock above. Every curve reveals a new texture and hue, from deep crimson to soft peach, and your guide helps identify natural formations while explaining how wind, rain, and time carved them over millions of years. Next, continue to Owl Slot Canyon, a wider and more open space framed by towering cliffs and brilliant desert light. Here, you’ll find sweeping photo opportunities and a sense of calm that contrasts beautifully with the intimacy of Rattlesnake Canyon. Along the way, guides share insights into Navajo culture, local wildlife, and the geology that makes this landscape one of the world’s most photographed wonders. This 1 hour 45 minute experience is moderate, making it ideal for most fitness levels. Frequent stops let guests catch their breath and enjoy the scenery while learning about the land’s living history. It’s a perfect combination of adventure, education, and serenity—a walk through stone cathedrals sculpted by time.
