A Secret way to see Antelope Canyon for FREE via Lake Powell 

Thank you so much! Appreciate it. Hope you make it one day soon.

It really is a cool experience. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Mike

It really is an amazing area to explore. You wouldn't get lost, only one way in and one way out. Hope you make it to Arizona one day soon, it's an amazing state to explore. Thanks so much for watching! Cheers, Mike

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Mike

Thank you! It really is, one of my favorites. Thanks for watching!

@@RoadTripTravel I want to send you a brand proposal. What is the best email to contact you, Mike? Thanks. -Keith

That's fantastic, so good to hear. I'm glad you had a good time. I am fascinated to go back myself as the lake was really low when I went. I bet you were able to kayak into the canyon a lot farther than I was able to. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

@@RoadTripTravelyes I have... just subbed 👍👍 keep them coming

Awesome, thanks @@jona8a373 !

Thanks so much for watching. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers!

good call. Every slot canyon has this warning, should definitely be included in this video as well for everyone's safety.

Fantastic! Please do let me know how it went. The water level is much higher now than when I recorded this video. Thank you for watching. Cheers, Mike

@@RoadTripTravel just got back home. its still an incredible ride. watching your video again the water level on my pictures is about 15 feet higher. thanks so much for this recommendation. One of my favorite things of the trip, right after moonscape overlook at sunrise. i have a picture at pretty much the same point as 1:25 of your video. the far away wall has roughly three colors (dark, brighter and then dark again from top to bottom). the water level now is slightly below the line where it changes from brighter to darker red.

@@youbetu18 So glad you enjoyed your trip and that the video was helpful. Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your experience! I now want to go back! ;-) Cheers, Mike

This video was from a few years ago and what does your comment have to do with the price of rice in China? It's the same rock sediment, it could happen anywhere. It's so crazy that this is all you got from the video.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! ;-) I would say Spring or Fall to avoid the crowds and heat. When I went in early October is was perfect. Plenty warm and very few people.

Thank you for watching. Yeah, I do too as many people have been asking, but I was short on time and did not think about it in the moment. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

Because the lake was so low when I did this video, it was a bit of a hike to get to the slots, so I don't know how far it is until you get to the end of the lower canyon where one of the tours takes place. You cannot reach the upper for sure. If you don't wait to pay, this kayak trip is a fantastic experience, you'll see a wide open canyon, then as you hike further in it turns into a slot. It's not quite as dramatic as the tours, but you have far fewer people to contend with as well. I would recommend going as early as you can as in the summer months it will get crowded. Anyhow, I hope that helps. Have a great time and thanks for watching. Cheers, Mike

@@RoadTripTravel I will definitely kayak there, seems like a better experience like you said and far more fun. Thanks again!

@@toddr6992 It really is a fun experience. Hope you have a great time. Cheers!

Great question! I went quite a ways, but have no idea how far (when you're in a slot, you have no perception). I don't see why you would not eventually meet up with a tour group, but there may be obstacles you can't overcome. For example, if you saw the part where I was climbing the ladder, if that had not been there, I don't think I could have gone any farther. Would be fun to see how far you can in fact go. Thanks so much for watching, and, for your great question. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

You can’t get to the other side. There is a road going over the canyon and there is no tunnel

Hi Kathleen! Well, it all depends on how high the lake level is. It is higher now then when I went and is going to continue to get higher for another month or so. I would say the canyon starts to narrow into a slot in about 15-20 minutes of hiking. Then you can go as far as you want, enjoying the waves of the slot along the way. Thanks for watching, hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

It is the same canyon for sure, but there may be some vertical areas that are impassible. I came across one, but someone had put a ladder there. Since you're in a narrow slot, you could come across a vertical area that would be too difficult to navigate. Sorry I don't have a definitive answer. While I hiked quite a ways in, I did not go all the way to the tour area. Thanks for watching, hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

Hi Gisele! My pleasure, thanks for watching. Absolutely! What you want to do is go to the Antelope Point boat ramp. There is plenty of parking, but you'll want to go to the end of the boat ramp, drop off your kayak, then move your car to the parking lot. Currently, the water level is about 20-25' below the boat ramp, but you should be able to lug your kayak to the water if you have two people. Then, it's just a short paddle to the opening of Antelope Canyon. Once you reach it, it's a very calm and peaceful paddle. It will take at least 30-45min to reach the end (depending on the lake levels), from there you can leave your kayak behind and go for a scenic hike. Be sure to wear shoes, it can be very hot on the sand. By June (after the snow melt up north) the lake should be high enough to open the boat ramp, so it will be even easier to get your kayak in the water. Hope you have a fantastic time. Please check back and let me know how it went. Cheers, Mike

Mike, thank you very much for your kind assistance! Your help will certainly contribute to making our experience much more pleasant. We're looking forward to arriving in August.

@@giseledeconto2795You're very welcome. August is peak season, so I would highly recommend going in the very early morning. It would start to get busy by 9-10am.

You're the best! Thanks!!@@RoadTripTravel

@@giseledeconto2795Aww...thank you. 🙏

Thank you! I don't think the legislature has passed any laws against it, but it is possible that the Navajo Nation has a no trespassing sign as you get close to their tour area. I did not hike that far. That said, many people do hike this and you'll see some amazing slots, perhaps not quite as remarkable as what you would see on the tour, but it's also free. The tours are over $100/pp. This part of the canyon is in the National Park system, so yes, you can enter without a Navajo guide.

Thanks )

You are not getting to the point where it costs to go. Simply because it’s separated due to the highway

@@greatdane145 The Lower Antelope empties into Lake Powell. If you start at the Lake, you have a flood plain to transit to the lower end of that slot canyon, distance depending on the lake lever. I've never done it, so I have no info on the travel distance up that slot to where the tours enter at the top end, by that is basically at the highway. From there, you cross the highway and face a three mile distance to the lower opening of Upper Antelope. This is basically deep, loose, sandy river bottom, so it's a brute of a hike, assuming the tribe will let you do it. The tour groups use large, off-road trucks with all terrain tires to plow through that part.

Oh, it depends on the lake level (which is currently increasing) and how far you want to hike. Once I left the kayak it was an wide open canyon for about 15 min, then it started to narrow into a slot. I did not go as far as where the tours start, so I don't know how much farther it was. Hope that helps a little. Thanks for watching. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

About 4 hours. Thanks so much for watching. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike!

Yes, created by Mother Nature.

Hey Barbara, this is where I rented my kayak at Antelope Maria. There are often people who rent at Antelope Point boat ramp, which is closer to the opening of the canyon, but with water levels so low the past year, it has been difficult for renters. However, the water is rising fast, so depending on when you visit, there may be options at Antelope Point. antelopepointlakepowell.com/kayak-and-sea-doo/ Thanks for watching, hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

There are many places in town that rent kayaks. I rented from: antelopepointlakepowell.com, I think it was about $25 for half a day.

No, the only way to get there is by kayak or paddleboard, so I just don't see how or why anyone would run off with it. Thanks for watching. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

As he said, if you have your own "kayak"......😊
