Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon
One of the first things to decide is whether you want to visit Upper Antelope Canyon or Lower Antelope Canyon. Different tour companies take visitors through different areas.

The lower slot canyon also tends to be less crowded, as its views are less popular among most tourists.
Upper Antelope Canyon is where you will find its famous summer light beams. Crowds tend to be denser, but traveling its length is easier and tours are shorter.
