Slide Rock State Park, AZ & Antelope Canyon X by Taadidiin Tours
Please like this video if you find it helpful. Also, message me with any questions you may have. I will try to help you.....
A great afternoon spent at Slide Rock State Park is always a great idea on the weekend
A great afternoon spent in Antelope Canyon was a wonderful time also.
We believe Antelope Canyon X by Taadidiin Tours are truly the best. The tour guide took time we need during the tour, including helping us set up our phone on the correct setting for the best possible pictures. At one point, she asked us at the end of the tour, are there any additional pictures you would like? I said yes, so we headed back into the canyon for another family picture.
About Slide Rock State Park....
We really enjoyed our day at this park. The water was very cold as it comes right out of the mountain. Nice sliding down the slides and jumping off of the many cliffs into the cold water. There were hundreds and hundreds of people there. Free parking along the road past the park up the mountain road. There is a nice walking path so please, don't walk on the road because it is very dangerous because there isn't room for you and the vehicles.
Other things to do in this part of the country is spending time in Sedona
BEST ROAD TRIP: Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Zion, Horseshoe Bend | 4K
Road tripped to these incredible spots in one weekend! They are all amazing, but I cannot wait to get back to Zion National Park. This is easy to do in three days, but more time would allow more time at Zion and to see Bryce Canyon. Map of our route:
TOP TRAVEL TIPS:
*For the drive, we stayed one night at the North Rim West Cabins, then one night in Kanab, which has several hotel options.
GRAND CANYON NORTH RIM:
*Stay in the Western Cabins, they are worth it and are close to the Bright Angel Trail.
*There are far fewer view points to drive to on the North Rim than the South Rim, but give yourself time because they are very spread out.
HORSESHOE BEND:
*It was almost too hot here, and there is over 1 mile hiking.
*There's not too much to do here other than pictures.
ANTELOPE CANYON:
Go To: Navajonationparks.org to see every Antelope Canyon Tour
*There are several options for Antelope Canyon, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND: Antelope Canyon X Taadidiin Tours (Hiking Tour). It is the cheapest ($38) and they do not rush you. The experience was amazing! For online reservations (were not needed for us):
ZION NATIONAL PARK:
*Stay at the lodge- it makes it so you don't have to wait in the long bus line in the morning.
*I would stay for at least 3 nights. You wont want to leave.
*Angel's Landing is not that strenuous or difficult, or even extreme, or scary. It's all pretty over hyped, but the view from the top is incredible.
