Secret Canyon, which also known as Horseshoe Bend Slot Canyon (due to its proximity to the Horseshoe Bend Overlook – photo above) lies approximately 15 km south from Page where you can also find the office – the place where it all starts from. Luckily, I discovered a travel forum which lead me to Horseshoe Bend Tours where the owner was more than willing to provide all the answers to my questions.
And thirdly, I didn’t get any feedback to my questions from several tour operators running the Lower and Upper Antelope Canyon trails. Secondly, I didn’t want to be stuck in a crowd with hundreds of tourists photobombing my camera (I read it can get quite messy and dusty down there on “busy days”). First of all, I wasn’t sure exactly which day we would arrive to Page, Arizona and we needed some small flexibility in timing.
There were 3 reasons why I chose to visit Secret Canyon instead of “classical” Antelope Canyon trail.
