“Beautiful sites!. I'd been to other canyons & to Horseshoe Bend in 2000 as a student. It was great to see it with family. Many, many more people, but that was fun too. We laughed with other fellow cannoneers down the steep steps to Lower Antelope. I can't imagine not choosing to do the tour on other trips that label it "optional." Unless you're more disabled than me (50 year old w/ fibromyalgia), it's a must do! I got a much needed nap on the long car ride that I DIDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE. So we'll appreciated.”
