Walking Through the Antelope Slot Canyon
The Antelope Slot Canyon may not be the cheapest tour I have been to but I am thoroughly enjoying the visit. I don’t think the tour is very long, the most time you would spend there would probably be thirty minutes. I don’t know if it is any longer during the low season where there is no pressure to keep moving forward because of group behind you. While the tour was going faster than I would have hoped, the tour guide make sure that I see what I am supposed to see. I know some tours elsewhere would just leave you be if you don’t pay attention.

I appreciate this since it will make sure you don’t miss anything but it also helps the tour guide prove that they did everything for you, thus deserving a tip at the end of the tour. I don’t understand the need for the tip since you already paid for the tour but this seems to be the culture here in the United States. We were told to bring water if you need it and I did, but I realized that you don’t really need it. Most of the time you are in the shade inside the canyon and it won’t be hot. The parts where you would be exposed to the sun would be going into the canyon and back out to the bus. I had a hard time because I had a water bottle with me expecting that I would need it. And since bags aren’t allowed, I had to keep trying to stick it inside my pocket. It wasn’t very convenient and I wish that I knew ahead of time. I was juggling the camera and my phone all the while trying to keep the water bottle in my pocket, which did fall out several times in the tour. I guess the lesson learned here is that if you can help it, don’t bother bringing the water bottle, you won’t really need it there. Leave it in the bus if you want to bring one.
