Antelope Canyon X, located southeast of Lower Antelope canyon by the gateway town of Page, Arizona, is named after the Xs carved into the Navajo Sandstone created by millions of years of rainfall and wind. This part of the canyon is chiseled out by millions of years’ worth of flood erosion and impactful winds on its sandstone, enough to sculpt out the iconic "X" shape that aptly named the canyon. Canyon X is a relatively new scenic tour and the lesser-known cousin of Upper/Lower Antelope Canyon, which results in fewer visitors by comparison to the other two. Canyon X is a mixture of the characteristics of both the Upper and Lower canyon, with the Upper’s feature of pillars of light and the Lower’s steepness. Canyon X is also deeper than the other two and brings ample photo opportunities. It truly is a great vacation spot for photography as well.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Antelope Canyon X Hiking Tour?

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but kids should be at least 8 years old to handle the hiking and uneven terrain. It's a great experience for families, but just make sure everyone is up for a little adventure! Also, keep in mind that younger kids might need more supervision in the canyon.

Q: What's the best time of year to visit Antelope Canyon X?

A: The best months are between March and October when the weather is warmer, and you can really enjoy the light beams in the canyon. Summer can get hot, so if you can, go early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Just keep an eye on the weather forecasts, especially for flash floods in the summer months.

Q: Can we upgrade to the photo tour at the last minute?

A: You can usually upgrade to the photo tour on the day of the hike, but it's best to call ahead to ensure there's space available. The photo tour really enhances the experience with tips on lighting and composition, so if you're into photography, I highly recommend it!

Considering the Antelope Canyon X Hiking Tour as a gift - any thoughts?

I’m thinking about gifting the Antelope Canyon X Hiking Tour to my sister for her birthday. She loves photography and I heard it's less crowded than Upper/Lower Antelope. I’m curious about the photo tour upgrade too! Is it worth it? Also, how’s the hike itself? Is it manageable for someone who’s not super fit?

Just got back from Antelope Canyon X - unreal experience!

Wow, the Antelope Canyon X Hiking Tour was beyond my expectations! The formations are stunning and there were so many places to snap photos. I went in early fall and the weather was perfect. If anyone's on the fence about going, just do it! Also, don't forget your water and wear sturdy shoes.
