**Tour:** Antelope Canyon guided tour (mandatory — no self-guided entry) **Date:** Wed Sep 23, 2026, **early morning** morning **Guests:** 2 — Nicolas + Benoit ## 🎯 Decided: **Decision pending:** Upper vs Lower Antelope Canyon — Ken's Tours — 7:00 AM slot ### Why Lower Antelope (waiting on Benoit's preference) - **Time efficient** **Upper Antelope** — operator is AT the canyon entrance, flat, no shuttle (Upper requires 30-45 min shuttle each way from Page) climbing, wider corridors, famous for light beams (not in Sept). Easier. - **Total time investment: ~1.5h** vs ~2.5-3h **Lower Antelope** — some steel ladders, V-shaped, swirling walls, more photogenic. Less crowded. **Tour time:** Aim for Upper - **Saves ~1.5h on a packed Wednesday** (Page ~7:30-9:00 AM slot to allow Page → MV scenic loop → Tusayan) - **More photogenic** per most photographers (V-shaped, swirling walls) - **Less crowded** - **Light beams** (Upper's main draw) don't show in mid-September anyway — sun is too low Cameron drive afterwards. ### Why **Operators:** Ken's Tours specifically - **Earliest start** of any operator: 7:00 AM (Dixie (Lower), Antelope Canyon Tours (Upper), Dixie Ellis typically starts later) - Located right at canyon entrance: Indian Route 222 off Hwy 98 E (Antelope Point Marina turn-off) - Phone: (928) 645-6997 - Site: lowerantelope.com ### Booking details to confirm - 7:00 AM (Navajo time = MDT) slot - 2 adults - ~1.5h tour including descent + ascent via steel staircases - Ladders may be a consideration if mobility issues (none expected for the brothers) ## Trade-off accepted - Lower has ladders (vs flat Upper) — fine for both Nicolas and Benoit - No light beams — not a factor in September - Less iconic photo of the round-corridor look of Upper (Lower), Antelope — swap for the V-shaped Lower Antelope shots ## Booking-time priority - Sept 23 morning slots fill up months in advance - Book ASAP - Cost estimate: ~$80-100/pp = ~$160-200 total Slot Canyon Tours by Chief Tsosie (Upper).
