This tour—no kidding—changed my brain. Walking through the property was an expansive journey, and the audio tour was educational and really helped ground me in the space and pull me into the details of Frank Lloyd Wright’s design and philosophies. I can’t recommend this enough for lovers of design, story, and interesting spaces. I left inspired and with an augmented appreciation of the power of organic architecture, playfulness, and of spaces designed to foster community. If any questions come up for you, I highly recommend asking them to the staff present throughout the tour— they provided additional anecdotes and history that very much enriched our experience. My one regret is we didn’t go earlier in the day to be able to take more time soaking up the unique spaces.

It’s really easy to drive past the entrance since the sign blends in with the landscape. So keep an eye out! We took the self guided tour. The property was stunning, and we really enjoyed learning about Wright’s process and the history behind the property. Absolutely beautiful. The gift shop had so many unique items, too! Lots of locally made pieces.

The house in relation to the geography creates an ethereal setting that will leave you dazzled. It's an incredible way to experience Right's genius as you look through a window or a vista and realize that every turn, every view was meant to inspire. The tour goes by too quickly, like a dream you don't want to end. The controlled number of guests is also very important as the interior spaces are smaller than you think.

This was a great introduction to the complex. It was discovery day so the cost was only $5.00 each to go on a self guided tour. All the grounds and buildings were accessible and along the way they had hosts to provide details at various locations as well as answers questions. They also invited some other groups to provide information about their services. They also had some food vendors, activities and music. Free parking was provided and the fee allowed us to stay as long as we wanted. I was surprised that for a Saturday it not crowded and it was easy to view each location and enjoy the grounds.The store has a variety of keepsakes and beautiful creations for sale and the staff are very friendly.

Really wonderful Frank Lloyd Wright site. The Audio tour was easy to use and allowed me to explore Tasliein West on my own, pointing out a lot of really nice details I would have missed. I love that you are invited to experience the site thought your own eyes and even encouraged to sit in the hand made furniture to enjoy the spaces just as Frank and his team would have decades ago. I do think some aspects are in need to refurbishment especially when it was dripping with all the rain, but I do know that it’s an old building and it wasn’t designed to get the weather out fully. The white buckets catching water were a little distracting from the beauty of the space. It didn’t take away from the overall experience though. The tour lasted about 1-hour from start to finish, so plan to be there early enough so you can finish up before they close. The adjoining store also had some really nice memorabilia.

Loved it! So informative and the guided tour was simply wonderful. Hard to imagine how all this was built in this hot landscape so many years ago! Very inspiring! Highly recommend!

Frank Lloyd Wright's genius design skills are at work here. The buildings look like they have always been there, which is the hallmark of his designs. Definitely a must see attraction in the Phoenix-Scottsdale area.

This place is fantastic. The preserve staff is so helpful and knowledgeable about the trails. This mountain preserve provides so many beautiful trails for all skill levels. Multiple trails with varying elevation gain and distances. It’s a magical place. It is fairly busy but never too busy to where I don’t enjoy it.

Love doing the Gateway Loop Trail every year. I went early because of the heat. Helpful person at trailhead that recommended to not hike past 10am, plus sign. Nice bathrooms and trail well maintained.

Did 3.6 mile Gateway loop. 78 and sunny. Took me 2 hours. Went clockwise. Bathrooms at trailhead. Very rocky (it’s Arizona!) but well maintained trails, beautiful views. The official grade of moderate/hard is definitely not true. This is an easy loop with a few small sections that qualify as moderate. I’m 70.

What a beautiful sunrise and hike to Gateway Saddle. It was moderately difficult and stumbled on a few rocks but else a great 1:40 round trip. Definitely need some water early morning and likely a lot more later on or if a hot day!

This is a well maintained trail! When we went, there was a lot of people there, granted Thanksgiving is just a couple of days down this week. Good to see people enjoying the outdoors and maybe learning along the way! We went on the loop and enjoyed the informational panels throughout the trail! At the end, we were blessed with a close encounter with a roadrunner! (Video in this post) Remember to stay hydrated!

An excellent trail. With paths to several other trails. We took the loop, but took 3 hours because we are slow and took a ton of photos. The other hikers were friendly and helpful.

Easy, well marked trail system. Lower trails are good for families with small children but it does get significantly more rocky the more you progress up the mountain.

Great hike for easy to moderate hike with 360⁰ views. While there is a fair amount of elevation change, the 2 mile trail is very well maintained with steps, benches, and signage. It's a 4 mile out and back or can be through-hiked. The park facility is very good. I'm not a super fast hiker but did the out and back in about 2 hours.

Great 3.2km (2 miles) one-way trail with beautiful views. Gets a bit challenging by the end but easy-moderate to hike

We had an amazing hiking experience here today. Along our way a volunteer, Gary, told us some impressive facts about the plants, trail, and tips to see the best views. He then proceeded to continue the hike as our guide. He made our whole experience better than we could have imagined. Lots of laughs and plenty of sweat was had haha

What a fantastic hike. Absolutely beautiful views. The visitor Center has a place to fill your water bottles as well as clean bathrooms. There is no fee for the parking or for the hike. Bring sunscreen and plenty of water. Like most of the desert There is almost no shade.

Open at 5:45 am Has lot of parking Has restroom Scenic points Shady Can go with family and friends 2 miles one way Moderate and easy Carry liter water

Beautiful views of homes I wish I could afford. Nice pleasant hike but there are some tough parts. Parking lot fills up early but spots start to open up around 9 am.

Fun hike, lots of good views of the surrounding neighborhoods and greater area. The parking is limited, but everything is super well maintained and the trail is well marked. I will say it was harder than I expected. A lot of significant inclines and declines. But a fun hike for sure.

Such a cool place to go. It was an added stop during out travels, and it was well worth it! I am going to have to go back and do it backwards so I can remember that half of it as well. Make sure you eat at the first Saloon when you go....

Be very aware that some establishments here are cash only. While this is labeled on the entryway, this isn't something people normally stop to check for. So after they've poured your drink and you try to pay with your card they point to their private ATM which charges an additional fee which the establishment collects. I don't have a problem paying cash I just don't normally carry it and would have appreciated being told prior to the drinks being poured that it was cash only. I was clearly a tourist in the area and I'm sure this is something they routinely experience. I felt like this was just another upcharge because I was a tourist.

I had a blast roaming the antique and consignment stores. I spent two afternoons doing that during our three day visit. However one afternoon included the craft fair that was going on in the center square. All the stores are clean and well maintained. Items are nicely displayed. For those of you that have dogs, some businesses have water bowls outside their front entrance for them.

Great bars and atmosphere in the area. There are so many shops and eateries in the area that I didn’t have a chance to stop at each place. Would definitely visit again

Had dinner at The Palace Saloon! What a terrific restaurant. Loved the decor and atmosphere, including the bartenders and servers dressing in style for the late 1800's. Put this on your to do list.

Great stretch of historical shops and saloons. We stopped at The Palace and had a couple yummy appetizers and whiskey drinks. Lots of interesting, historical paraphernalia and pictures. The service was excellent and the food and drinks thanks were very good. We will be back again some day.

Been going to this oldest established continously bars west of the Mississippi for 25 yrs plus,thee place to go for weekend nights,holidays any day too. Safe street and fun energetic people having fun!

Watson Lake is absolutely stunning and a must-visit in Prescott! The unique granite boulders surrounding the lake make for some of the most picturesque views you’ll find anywhere. It’s a great spot for hiking, kayaking, fishing, or just enjoying a peaceful picnic by the water. The trails around the lake are beautiful and offer plenty of photo opportunities. Easy to spend a whole afternoon here soaking in the scenery. A true gem in Prescott and perfect for nature lovers!

One of the most beautiful lakes I've ever visited. Tucked away just outside of Prescott Arizona it is definitely a hidden jewel. The layers of rocks surrounding the lake are absolutely gorgeous. It's almost like going back in time. The photo opportunities are many. The water reflections of the hillside's, rocks, and beautiful blue sky and clouds make for phenomenal photos. We live in San Diego but we make it a point whenever visiting Arizona or Phoenix, we make the drive up to Prescott

I almost don't want to post anything about it because I want it to remain the treasure that it is. This is a beautiful place to kayak, plus there's trails all over the place, really cool ones through riparian areas.

Went kayaking for an hour. The first time slot at 8 am I believe is the best time to go. The birds are out and you can see cows on the mountain. We saw an Eagle. Beautiful boulder of rocks and fish. Wasn't hot and a good little work out on your arms and core. Good price for the hour. You can tandem or solo.

Beautiful place to spend some time relaxing. You can rent a kayak and go kayaking in the lake just no swimming. View from up top was beautiful and the place was not that crowded. Best time to visit the lake is early morning or later in the evening. There is an entry fee for day time entry and for overnight camping. There is a designated area for the camping and recreational activities. Plenty of parking so no issue there. Hike around the lake is easy to moderate (depending on the hikers capacity) but a perfectly tracked way with easy walk. So, Enjoy !!!

Love to kayak here!! Have for years

Great Lake and Park outside of Prescott, AZ. Great trails that run the perimeter of the lake. Great views on the trail. Peaceful no wake lake. Perfect spot to kayak. The surrounding park has picnic areas, playgrounds and open fields to play. Clean bathrooms. A well maintained park. $3 for day visit.

I loved our visit here. We live in Prescott Valley so it was less than an hour drive. We bought the package that included general admission, feed a tiger and a deeper narrarated tram ride. All in it was about $140 for the 2 of us. My wife loved the sloth. Tiger Splash was fun seeing the big kitty's play. The tour was informative and you saw the animals up close. We all got to feed Giraffes 🦒. A great half day that we will do again.

If there were more than 5 stars, this place would deserve them. What a fantastic experience my husband and I had. Even the turkey sandwich for lunch was way better than expected! And we got to sit by the white tiger while we ate! Everything/one from the start was wonderful. Alana got us all checked in at the gift shop, (we had booked a VIP tour) and had us in stitches with her personality and sass while we waited for our truck. Nikki (sp?) was our tour guide and driver, and she was a hoot! Extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. She was just perfect. All around, the absolute best way to spend a day. The animals were exquisite and seemed happy and healthy, (which is huge for me) and the time we got to spend with them was more than adequate. We got to pet Jericho, the rhino, and we got to feed the giraffes by hand! What a magical place. I could not possibly recommend this place highly enough. We will 100% be coming back.

Went here this past Sunday for my sister's birthday. It was raining, so most of the park was closed off because of running water and mud. The only part that was open was the safari. We had bought tickets beforehand, so we didn't want them to go to waste. What could have turned into a rained out activity, it was actually a great experience! The safari was short, about 25 minutes, but it was awesome. Our guide/driver Armando was great. We got to feed one of the giraffes, Timba, who was really cute and friendly. Walked right up to us and got some great close up pictures and videos. Then we drove around and looked at the zebras, antelope and bulls. We all had a great time despite most of the zoo being closed off and not seeing the other animals. All the staff including the two women at the gift shop were extremely helpful, friendly and wonderful. Wish we could return for another visit!

So we went ziplining across the safari. It was super fun! It rained so we got delayed but we stuck it out and waited. Good thing we did!! The 2 guides were amazing. They really were cautious about our safety and very helpful with all our questions about the animals! We would definitely go back again when more animals werent hiding bc of the rain.

It was fun. What you would expect for hot outdoor view of animals. Staff were great. I would recommend eating and bringing tons of water with you. There is a small place to buy water but its only in 1 location of the park. There is no shade, wear cool clothes and agaim, lots of water.

VIP tour is worth every penny, the guide brings every animal right to the fence to have close up interactions. The owner, Prayeri, met us for lunch and talked with us, she is great, so passionate. Everyone made us feel like a VIPs. Will go again and always take VIP tour. We got to feed a tiger and pet a rhino ! We also returned at night for the special nighttime tour/feed of the tiger, lions and others. Such a great day!

Amazing experience! We did the tiger splash, fed the tigers, went on the super mog (higher tier safari), and then wandered around the park. Definitely don’t miss the supermog tour; it’s worth it for the close encounters with the animals. Stick around for the reptile show and the predator feeding. 10/10 day! 🦁

Amazing and must see history if you’re driving by- it’s like 4 minutes off the freeway and gorgeous. The staff was INCREDIBLE and so friendly, not sure why so many people were working and no one could check us in to pay, that was confusing. Lovely gift shop though and unique souvenirs. Not sure why so much was blocked off by cones Just a nice getaway overall

The national monument is a must see location if you are in the area. From the parking lot to the front door the walk is easy. Once inside, we noticed the area to the right with had the history of the location and to the left was a nice gift shop area. The staff was informative and friendly. As we approached the historic sight, we were in awe of the size and its location within the mountain. The included pictures may not do it justice. It is a "must see" exhibit. Overall, the Montezuma Castle is worth the time to visit...our children, who were here 20+ years ago were spot on with their recommendation. 👍

National Park pass accepted, otherwise $10 per person. Path is paved and very walkable. Very educational regarding monument and nature around the area. Park is well maintained.

Very interesting and educational experience about the indigenous community and their way of life! Wonderful hiking trail and ability to access for all ages and functional mobility levels. $10 per person entry.

Very interesting and historic venue. If I wasn't near by. I don't think I'd go out of the way to see this. You can't get inside to see the way they lived. Your on a walking path looking up at it. So yes, History it was interesting. But 1 time visit is all I need here.

It’s a nice monument to the old cultural sites, nice first spot to visit after driving from Phoenix to Sedona. However, wasnt a fan of the $10 fee for a small site, and the bathroom was closed.

Good historical site and ruins. Worth the visit, good culture lesson. Nice gift shop, friendly staff. Pretty site surrounds.

Charming downtown or Ild Town area of Cottonwood. Has several interesting shops and restaurants and cafes most businesses close early, but a few remain open till 7:00 pm and later. It’s a must visit.

Quiet place on the outskirts of Sedona. Nice location and perfect place to unwind after all the energy in Sedona. There were a lot more places here than I thought there would be and everything is within a short driving distance. Not much for night life though.

Beautiful place to visit many shops quiet lots of places to eat have a drink, stop and have breakfast at Crema Craft Kitchen a must visit. Walk down the street to Old Town Rock shop, ride the rail, love it.

Cool place to walk around and do some local shopping. Very quiet on a Tuesday and many closed shops/restaurants. Get out there and support your local merchants.

Wow - what a transformation. For my tastes Cottonwood is rising fast. Snobby California get over yourself. Great experiences can happen for normal people in the Verde Valley without emptying your bank account pretending to be Silicon Valley rich. Cottonwood is a great place for hardworking people looking for an authentic wine experience delivered by passionate locals.

Beautiful, historical and fun town. Although the area was originally inhabited by the Sinagua and followed by the Spanish, it is now more reminiscent of the mining epoch and its wild west forebearers. Surrounded by the Verde Valley this historic town is nestled in one of Arizona’s most beautiful valleys. The town as a whole, from it townspeople, the shops, the restaurants make for a pleasant, homey and inviting ambience for couples or families alike. You can go really west with the likes of Blazin’ Bar Ranch, walk the town shops and enjoy its hospitality, or even have great eats whether Cowboy, Mexican or Pub food. Cottonwood is a great day trip for Phoenicians and a great weekend getaway for anyone wanting either or tranquil repose or some rip-roaring fun. We love Cottonwood, we know you will too.

Winery' taste testing all up and down main Street. Restaurants , bars ,music, a park for hiking down to the verde river where u can relax in the shade of Cottonwood trees , blue skies peeks through the branches.

Old town Cottonwood is a fun and historic place . Sedona and old mining town of Jerome r just a short drive away.

Oh my goodness we had a blast! Our normal cup of tea is the casino. Lately my husband and I have been going through a rough patch after being together for 38 years. I searched for something different for us to do, came across Blazin M Ranch. Let me tell you the atmosphere was so welcoming from the moment they opened the gates! I almost felt like we just got invited to a friends ranch for so much fun and great homemade food and don’t even get me started on the amazing entertainment show they put on for us. The owners were so inspiring to me a husband and wife and they worked so hard and entertained all of us. Even came by and asked how are meal was. Seeing them work together made me remember my husband is my true partner in life. Thank you to the owners and they worked so wonderful employees for taking us out of a rough patch! God bless all of you! We will be back! Kevin and Jeannie McGuire

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Blazin M. Its really good family entertainment. We did ax 🪓 throwing & the escape room. There's a mechanical bull you can ride, a photography place to dress in western wear & have a photo taken, a small bar for beer, wine, & mixed drinks, a ping pong table, miniature golf, & there's a small museum near Ax throwing. It was so fun. Food was amazingly delicious. Bbq'd chicken, ribs, coleslaw, mashed potatoes & gravy, corn bread and a slice of cake. And you can go back for seconds, too! The show was so fun, lots of great music and laughs.

First and foremost I’d like to thank the staff for their amazing hospitality. Our family of 10 was treated very kindly. Our children were lucky enough to ring the dinner bell! The facility is gorgeous and well maintained. The extracurricular activities provided were a hit with our family. The food is probably too good, seconds are nearly impossible to resist! The show that the performers put on after dinner was so fun and very engaging. Overall this was a great experience. Our children loved it and we’ll cherish the memories made at the Blazing M ranch!

Something fun to do near Sedona, we booked this on a whim and really glad we did. About a 30 mins drive but very much worth it. Lots of fun and games - the prickly pear margaritas and the little escape room were our favourites. We booked the 5pm slot and there was about 90 mins to enjoy before dinner and the show. Hugely entertaining. The staff there were excellent. We were a little disappointed as they forgot to give us our photos which we had paid for with our VIP upgrade but given the effort put in couldn't take away a star. Really fun!

A rootin' tootin' good time for the whole family. The music show is lots of fun but is likely to be more appreciated by the adults due to the song selection. The little old western town they have created is quaint with lots to see and do before the show. The food was incredible and the staff friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the trip.(A local, family owned business.)

Took my dad here for his birthday. The pre-dinner activities were so much fun! The VIP experience was worth every penny! The show was hilarious! It was chilly and the fire pits were awesome! Will definitely go back.

Absolute blast! The food was great, the entertainment was great but what really stands out is the staff! They are amazing. Every single person was friendly helpful and seemed to really enjoy being there. This place is an absolute treasure not to be missed.

A short walk in a beautiful red rocks landscape (though probably not the best one in Sedona!). Hike up a little higher other than the base path and be blessed with sweeping views of the area.

Just came back we really enjoyed it majestic view and it gives you a sense of calm and peace. Couldn’t make the hike because of knee injury but next time will do

Breathtaking vistas, a calmness that is hard to describe. If you have any appreciation for geological features… This is a must see.

It was beautiful! Peaceful and serene. I highly recommend buying your park ticket ahead of time. Also, get up early to go visit these places. Parking fills up quickly.

Great place to hike! Some paths are easy and others are more challenging. Parking is a bit of a challenge. There are a couple of lots ($5.00/day) but all were full with cars coming in constantly. We lucked out by finding someone leaving.

Great hike but park in north parking if you intent to climb. The climb was good. Surprisingly at the top I felt tingling effect in my feet and legs. After coming down my wife told me about vortex at bell rock. I don’t believe these but I felt something, kind of interesting.

Great walk, stunning views and clearly indicated. Bring enough water, it gets hot in summertime.

There are no words. The emotions I felt getting to the top are indescribable. I truly felt the energy. The climb was difficult but well worth the entire experience. Don't forget to go to the left at the end of the trail for another part!

Loved our experience hiking there. To be noted it is pretty steep going up and coming down, and yet totally worth the climb. 💕Beautiful scenery from the top!

Got there on a Tuesday morning in late Oct at 7 am. Found plenty of spots in the additional parking. The hiking is very fun and challenging! Don’t be scared of the little tunnels at the tail! It’s only a small portion of the whole trail. If you can climb up, then there is no problem going down! Turn left to find the platform at the end of the trail!

We started at the Baldwin trail. Parking was $5. It was lovely, shaded and refreshing.

Watched the sunset here with my sister and it was such a memorable experience. Beautiful scenery, great views and a really nice hike. Loved this trail and the views cannot be beat.

The breathtaking sunset views up there are absolutely worth the effort!! It wasn’t super difficult as I was hiking in a group and I only needed to follow the footing of people in the front which helped a lot. If I were to figure out the submitting route myself, it would have been horrifying. It’s about half a mile going up with 600+ ft elevation gain. It took about 30 mins to go up and about 20 mins to go down so I recommend start descending right away after sunset(if you are here for the sunset view) to have enough date light while scrambling down. I highly, highly recommend wearing shoes with good grips as that will make this adventure much safer. Parking becomes impossible within one hour of the sunset time.

It is a short but demanding hike up some steep sections, including some rock scrambling up to the base of the cathedral rock… Spectacular views and great workout .. I highly recommend go early morning and beat the crowds…

Easily one of the most wonderful stops we made on our trip. We spent time here enjoying the views and peaceful vibe. Everything from the drive in to the walk up the ramp was stunning. Once you reach the entry you are greeted by friendly staff. I can understand why it has so many good reviews. We picked up some items from the amazing ladies in the gift shop and enjoy part of a mass. The gift shop had things packed into every available space so take your time and you’ll find something for sure. Most are religious items, however there are many items that were not. So many people showed for mass, they placed chairs outside to maximize the amount of people who could enjoy it. Parking is a bit tricky, with only a few handicapped spaces, and the walk uphill once you find a spot made people a bit frustrated - I would suggest trying to find a slow time. We went on a Friday afternoon and it was pretty busy. I have to assume earlier weekdays would be better. You can drop people who can’t do the uphill walk at the top of the hill but getting a vehicle turned around and back down can be tough and take a bit. They have team members on golf carts if you can get one! Take a small car if you can!

Major shout out to Chapel of the Holy Cross you’re truly setting the bar for excellence thank you to all those that maintain the grounds and for have handicap accessible parking. This Chapel is alive with the energy of God, beautiful place to come and pray and see very beautiful scenic view.. if you’re doing cross country trips or just visiting Sedona, Arizona I highly recommend that you put this on your bucket list of places to see as well worth the trip

Parking is very limited. As well as safely getting a good picture. Be safe taki.g photos below the road. The insode of the church is very small. They do allow you to come inside and talk to God. There's a smal gift shop below. The views of sedon is beautiful at the top of the church

Beautiful place with stunning views and a well-known tourist destination. Parking: Free parking is available either right outside the chapel or at the lower level, with golf carts available to take visitors to the top (free service, accept tips). You can drive up and park if a spot is open, or return to the lower lot if full. There is also a Sedona shuttle connect service that takes guests to the top, providing another great option. Kudos to the staff for their excellent efforts in managing and assisting visitors despite the limited parking availability.

Super grateful my husband took us here on our return trip from California to Chicago. Shout out to Chapel of the Holy Cross you’re truly setting the bar for excellence thank you to all those that maintain the grounds and for have handicap accessible parking. This Chapel is alive with the energy of God, beautiful place to come and pray and see very beautiful scenic view.. if you’re doing cross country trips or just visiting Sedona, Arizona I highly recommend that you put this on your bucket list of places to see as well worth the trip

I went on a busy Saturday, but still found a parking spot in one of thier 2 small parkings lots. You park below and walk up the street or the labeled dirt trail, and there is about 5 disabled parking spots at the top..... plenty of room to get in and walk around the Chapel and gift shop downstairs, without waiting. You can walk up the the front of the Chapel, once inside and see the Jesus footprints in Bronze. Be sure to get lots of scenic pics on both sides, when outside by the Chapel. Worth the quick stop, it was free and it took me about 30-45 min. Worth of time to see.

Nice place to stop and visit. It was packed with people so we ended up parking on the lower section and took the trail up to see everything. Short little hike but not all that difficult. Nice walking path to get to the Chapel. Amazing location / views with all that surrounds it.

Absolutely one of the most beautiful hikes you can take in Sedona. While most people only venture a mile or so in, the canyon really gets more beautiful the further you go back (and more peaceful!). Between the creek that you cross several times, the towering cliffs, and the lush trees and ground cover you really can't ask for more. Take a lunch and go back 3-4 miles and you will have the place to yourself. Take time to sit down and take in your surroundings as the canyon is overwhelming. My favorite time of year is fall and time of day is mid to late afternoon. That time of day really allows you to take in the beautiful colors of the surrounding cliffs as the sunlight sneaks away. Make sure to wear good shoes and be prepared to fall in love with this place. I would give this trail 5 stars but the $11 fee to park is a little high in my opinion and your regular red Rock passes that everyone stops and buys in town do not work there. Also the fact that they only accept cash is a little inconvenient as there is now where close to go and get it if you forget. So make sure you have money before you take the drive up. Plan in spending at least a few hours and make sure to look around, as there are hidden ruins and things to see everywhere you look!!

Absolutely gorgeous and easy hike. Very family friendly with amazing views to take awesome family photos. There are restrooms and parking at the entrance. The trail is 3.3mi one way and has 13 stream crossings.

Parking is cash only, so be prepared! A stunning hike once you get farther from the start and the road. It can be crowded at the beginning. When theres water, its a fun place to find slide rocks and get your feet wet! There is plenty of shade to keep cool in, and though certain river crossings can be more precarious, kids would be fine. Be prepared to pet some adventure doggos too! An awesome hike if youre looking for something a little more shaded than cathedral rock.

Unfortunately we missed the fall color by two weeks but this was still an amazing lil adventurous hike . Suggestion get to trailhead early. This place gets packed and no other place to really park around other than parking lot. Also you may get wet at one of the many water crossings

Stayed in Sedona for 2 weeks. Hiked many trails, this being my favorite. Easy casual walking, lots of shade from vegetation. Historical architectural ruins along the path. Take a walk in the creek, sit on the rocks, and be present with the ravens, singing birds, butterflies, dragon flies, and little fish swimming at your feet. Locals hiking around me verbalized Fort Creek Trail was their favorite too.

Excellent place to hike, beautiful scenery and very calming atmosphere. People are friendly and helpful when you’re unsure as to how much further you have to go. Highly recommended for the photo opportunities and for a place to bring your significant other.

Absolutely gorgeous hike! Be prepared to cross the creek numerous times. My watch showed 7.33 miles round trip.

The rangers and volunteers here are so kind and sweet. Loved this park so much. Love that its less crowded too. Ive been to a few with native dwellings. I plan to see all of them. This one is in the top 3. Beautiful views.

The history here is incredible, what a great place to visit. You need to know that it is not a quick in and out if you want to hike the whole trail, and there are a billion, or maybe 10 billion stairs. 😄 But it really is a good hike, read up on it a bit before you go so you can see the significance of this awesome place. The visitors center has restrooms, information, and a small gift shop. There is the Rim trail also which is shorter and flat, in case the stairs are an issue. Plenty of parking too, I highly recommend.

Wulnut Canyon was a surprise for me and I would recommend to visit this place. Amazing walk and tour through the Canyon. There's a parking place on the front and you pay the National Park entrance fee what is valid for next 7 days if you visit again or other things in National Park. It's not valid for the Grand Canyon, you pay for that separately.

A wonderful experience exploring ancient cliff dwellings in a spectacular setting. Great visitor center with helpful park staff to learn about the villages and the people who once lived there. There are two paved trails, The Rim Trail with great overviews, and the Island Trail, which was my favorite. The Island Trail has more than 700 steps, and it takes you right up to the dwellings.

A Hidden Gem on the Road: Walnut Canyon National Monument During a road trip, we discovered Walnut Canyon National Monument by surprise, and it turned out to be a truly beautiful and unexpected place. It's a slice of nature that hides from the highway, revealing a spectacular landscape with ancient ruins. A Place to Explore and Enjoy: The park is very well-organized and maintained. The facilities are clean, including the restrooms, and the staff is very friendly. Although it was a quick visit for us, we realized it's a place where you can stay as long as you like. There's a picnic area with breathtaking views of the canyon, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The site has a visitor center, a souvenir shop, and, most notably, trails that lead down into the canyon. These paths allow visitors to get a closer look at the ruins, which are like "houses" built into the canyon walls by past civilizations. Although we didn't have time to do these hikes, they looked safe and well-marked. A Worthwhile Destination: In summary, Walnut Canyon National Monument is a tranquil and beautiful place that is definitely worth visiting. It's a perfect addition to a road trip and a gem we hope to explore with more time in the future.

Absolutely beautiful place! The scenery is breathtaking and the trails are very well maintained. A special thank you to Ranger Lucy — she was so kind, caring, and incredibly patient with us, even though we arrived about 20 minutes before closing time. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel so welcome. Her dedication truly made our visit extra special. Highly recommend visiting this gem!

What a beautiful look into the region's past! The Island Trail provided stunning views of the canyon and incredible up-close looks at ancient cliff side homes. Walnut Canyon is an unforgettable place to visit!

What a wonderful place to visit for the whole family! Toddler play room, interactive room for all ages, demos and talks. Looks like these guys thought of it all. Very beautiful campus to walk around. Definitely go see different telescopes they have and take a look at the sun and the sun spots during the day. Make sure to come back at night because this place is happening! You will see a variety of celestial object in the sky through telescopes and with a naked eye. Make sure to ask questions. Everybody who works here is super friendly and will gladly engage in a conversation about all space matters ❤️

I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was absolutely amazing. I live in Colorado and I have no problem making the 8 Hour Dr. back exclusively to visit this place. The staff is wonderful, the amenities are very nice and clean, it’s incredibly family, friendly, and well designed, and the night viewing is fantastic. One of my favoriteplaces I’ve ever gone to.

My first visit was a fantastic experience! The live constellation show, while an additional cost, felt like a worthwhile investment for a complete nighttime experience. There are plenty of exhibits to explore, making it easy to spend a lot of time on the grounds. The auditorium show was a definite highlight, with the immersive elements truly enhancing the sense of scale. For those planning a visit, I'd highly recommend checking the moon phase beforehand, especially if you're interested in the rooftop observation. When the moon was nearly full, it made spotting constellations more challenging, as they were often positioned behind us, away from the observation area. It was also difficult to see the guide's laser pointer due to the bright light. Planning around the moon's cycle could help you get the most out of this particular part of the program."

WOW. That's all ai have to say about the updates and new visitor center. I took my family today and had a wonderful experience. The exhibits are educational, but so much more! They are interactive with sensory based learning, and everyone left with new knowledge. I have always recommended Lowell and now I can be even more enthusiasts about it. Bravo.

My 9 year old daughter is obsessed with space. This place was great!! We didn't make it early enough for tickets to the outdoor planetarium which was a bummer. We had a great time walking around the grounds at night, looking through the telescopes and playing in the play zone. The inside exhibits are very informative. The smells are the best and worst! I feel like I can still smell one in particular weeks later. 😂 I wish there was better organization at the group of outdoor telescopes. And maybe better signage or markers between the Clark and the indoor exhibits. We still made it where we needed to go but I could see how it'd be easy to get lost or end up somewhere you don't belong. All in all it was an amazing visit. We showed up around 8pm on a Friday night and it was definitely busy. But the skies were clear and the weather was nice. We'll absolutely be back. Especially since Lowell participates in the Museums For All program.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Lowell Observatory! The exhibits, engaging activities, and telescopes were absolutely fascinating. The staff was knowledgeable and made the experience even more enjoyable. We didn’t have enough time to explore everything, but we’re definitely looking forward to returning on a dark night to get the full stargazing experience!

I definitely recommend if you're in town to visit. The interactive entertainment is great for all ages. They even have inside playground for kids now. The outside campus is also amazing. The entire campus is ADA accessible I have a food court if you want to snack.

Such a fun time! They do know that you are the food giver so you can get overwhelmed quite quickly when you first walk in to the deer pen. It helped circling around and walking away from the front gate. We had so much fun feeding, petting, and walking with the deer. It was a little warm when we went so a lot of the other animals were resting while we walked. If you want a good family time this is something to go try!

This is a wonderful place for kids also for adults. The animals can be a a little overwhelming for younger kids. But they are friendly and really beautiful wish I would have taken more pictures but I was too busy enjoying everything praying

I don’t review often, but I felt this deserves a shoutout. Free parking, clean restrooms and a great gift shop. The animals are definitely the highlight! For the cost of going to the movies, you get so much more. The deer were so friendly and sweet. Great for all ages. It was paved and easy to walk throughout, they even had staff sweeping the walkways. The workers were friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell that it’s a labor of love for the owners and staff, the animals were well kept with clean pens and enclosures! You can see wallaby’s, porcupines, coatis, even reindeer! For the price you’d be hard pressed to have a better day out with the family 👍

Had a very nice visit, took our 2 year old on her birthday. She enjoyed petting and feeding the deer which are very friendly. We had a bucket of food to feed the deer and needed to hold it tight and away from the deer because like to swarm you if they know you have food. Watch you clothing, one deer started eating my wifes extra long scarf 😁 and one was chewing the straps on my back pack which i could have left behind. Met some goats, lamas. Reindeer, one Bison, turkeys, peacocks, one camel and porcupines'. Weather was pleasant for early November about 76 deg. Great experience for kids and adults. I do recommend the Grand Canyon Deer Farm

This was actually pretty cool. Thomas loved it, and it was fun for us as well. There were lots of deer and other animals as well. The deer were pretty pushy while you were feeding them. We loved it but may be overwhelming for some. You don't have to feed them. The cockatoo talked too. I think it's would probably be worth the money for most family's. We live on a farm and still enjoyed it.

What an amazing farm! This little farm is located east of Williams and this is a MUST SEE if you’re coming to Flagstaff and or Williams for summer break! My girls had a blast feeding and petting the deer and so did I! There are also other animals such as porcupines, a little pig, Mozart the cockatoo, goats, zonkey’s, and even a bison. Furthermore, the staff who work here are very warm & welcoming, making sure you’re experience at this farm is good ❤️🦌 Also the gift shop is very cozy and offers unique souvenirs for you to take home.

I signed up for the Adult Zookeeper program. It’s been several months since, and I still think about how fantastic an experience it was to hang out with the animals while learning from one of the zookeepers. It was money well spent for me, and in comparison to Bearizona, the experience at Grand Canyon Deer Farm was more my speed, with its closer interaction with a broader diversity of animals. It’s awe-inspiring to see what they’ve done to care for the animals, and it was a great opportunity to see some coatimundis.

Snowbowl in Flagstaff is always a great time during snow season! If you’re looking for family fun, the gondola ride is a must. For those who love snowboarding or skiing, the slopes are fantastic—just be mindful, your speed can pick up pretty quickly. Even if you’re not hitting the slopes, the atmosphere alone makes it worth the trip. And if you happen to forget something, their shop has everything you need to make the most of your snow day. Highly recommend!

This is the first time I’ve ever given a review that’s not five stars—and unfortunately, it’s due to the worst customer service I’ve received, especially from a manager, at the Snowbowl Store next to the Gondola ride. On September 28th, our group of five came for the Gondola scenic ride. It was raining and cold, but our excitement to see the mountain wasn’t dampened. As season pass holders, we visit often in the winter and were eager to see the fall colors. However, we underestimated how cold it would be that day. The ride operator kindly told us that the store sold blankets and jackets, so we went inside. I printed our passes and purchased a blue blanket (around $20 and it just had a price sticker with no tag tied on it, it’s probably returned by someone but I didn’t give it much thought) and two jackets (around $240 total). We placed our water bottles and an extra jacket we’d brought into the large bag given to us, went up the ride, and enjoyed what little scenery we could see—it was foggy but still a nice experience. We planned to come back later if the weather cleared up. After coming down, I remembered that we never used the blanket, so I decided to ask if I could return it. The cashier politely asked if it had been used, and I said, “Not at all, since we ended up using the jackets.” She went to ask her manager, and while waiting, I picked up a few small items for the kids. When the manager came out, he asked, “Why did you buy the blanket?” I explained that it was in case it got too cold, but we forgot about it and never used it while feeling his judgement in his eyes. Then he said, “We are not runing a rental shop here. You know what I believe? I think you used it and now want to return it…” I was stunned by that accusation and said, “I swear to God, I did not use it.” He replied that it was not returnable—though there were no signs anywhere in the store stating that. I, suck at arguing, walked away soon after. If he had simply said from the start, “Sorry, we don’t accept returns,” I would have understood. I spent over $400 in that one hour between the jackets and lift tickets. I wouldn’t have minded the no-return policy for $20ish but the fact that he accused me of lying made it the worst experience I’ve ever had as a customer. I left angry and disappointed, telling myself I wouldn’t spend another penny there. Unfortunately, since I already purchased the 2026 season pass, I’ll have to return. Then a couple of days later I read in a holy writing that if someone wrongs you, forgive them immediately so I’ve made peace with this unpleasant experience. However, during a family dinner last weekend when my family asked about our trip and I shared the experience, they encouraged me to leave a review—so that this kind of behavior might be corrected. To be fair, most of the staff member we’ve met at Snowbowl over the years has been wonderful. We’ve had many great experiences skiing there with our kids… But you know what they say about one bad apple… I wouldn’t wish anyone to experience what we experienced… So watch out and hope you have a good time.

We had a fantastic time yesterday here . The area is absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained too ! The hamburger and fries were delicious too . There were many activities for the whole family . Awesome customer service too . We will definitely be back soon . Have a blessed day 😇

We met a super friendly man here. He helped us to go from the ticket purchase place to the ski place 😍 You can shop the ticket both online and offline. Recommend to shop it online so you can go straight to the ski center.

I visited in early August to see the Aspen leaves flutter. It was extremely peaceful with beautiful views. The gondola was working but I didn’t try it. 100% you should make time to visit.

If you're looking for a great place to snowboard in Arizona, this is pretty much the only spot—but luckily, it's a solid one. I had an awesome time hitting the slopes with my friends. The runs are fun and well-maintained, with options for both beginners and more experienced riders. The views from the mountain are amazing, especially on a clear day. The rental process was smooth, and the staff was helpful. It can get a little crowded on weekends, but that’s expected at a popular spot. Overall, if you're in Arizona and want to snowboard, this is the place to go. Definitely recommend!

Visited the Arizona Snowball this August with my kids. We rode the gondolas to the top, got out and walked around for a bit, and took in the views. I had purchased my tickets earlier in the week and then noted before we headed up from Phoenix that the gondolas were on hold due to rain and lightning. The website said you could only get a rain check if you were present on site, so we drove up and hoped for the best. When we arrived the gondolas were still on hold. Customer service said that we could hang out and wait to see if they open up as the lightning seemed to have moved on or get a refund on a gift card to use in the future or other activities on site. Because there were other activities we decided to hang out. We purchased snow cones, played in the hamster wheel and poked around the gift shops. There was an event going on with a live band, a restaurant and a section that was for 21 and up only. They also had a bungee trampoline, and downhill tubing slides for kids. The gondolas did open up within about 30 minutes and we were good to go even with it sprinkling. The views from the top were beautiful. It seemed there were some hiking trails but they were closed presumably due to the rain and lightning.

Highly recommend for visiting! It was very interesting to see really crater and visited museum and trued astronauts foods… Nice point!

Definitely one of my favorite parks. If you're going to be in the area, it's absolutely worth a stop. If you're looking for a spot to camp for free, basically all of the roads outside the park allow dispersed camping.

Beautiful crater with an interesting history as to its formation and magnitude. Trails at the base offer unique views.

Small, but wonderful park. It doesn't seem as over run with people as some ofvthe others. Very peaceful. It's a shame that so much of the park was burned in a fire in '22. Some of the trails are closed. Still some very interesting walks to take, getting up close the the lava. Beautiful views. Nice visitors center.

We were there on Dec. 4.2023. We had Ben hear back on April 2018. We found this place simply awesome . Seeing the lava flows. Around and the nice walk ways around the Crater part is really nice also have nice trials to walk on to . There where area when come in to park you can pull off and get a good Picture of the Sunset Crater . And the Mountains behind you when there they had snow on them . It was really pretty to see.

We love coming here, it's peaceful, has great trails and I love the "crunch- crunch" sounds when walking on the rocks of the lava flow. Beautiful!!

Neat place to observe volcano(s). Lots of plants growing in the lava remains and nice trails

Very cool! Glad I stopped to see it. The have it set up nicely. Even though you can on go out so far (to prevent humans from damaging it) you still can see how everything was setup and the way of life. The visitors center has a lot of information and items to buy (I got a mug).

Worth to visit if you have time. We stopped here and also Sunset crater Volcano National Monument when we are driving down from Page AZ to Phoenix. Easy walk.

Awesome sunrise and sunset shoots at wukoki Pueblo. Great sunrise at the Wuptaki pueblo, barely any ppl here, lovely dark sky park for astrophotography, bathrooms at most Pueblos, easy walking distance to view each Pueblo.

We drive to the park, but the park was closed. Looking some structure, sink hole and beautiful view.

Very cool ruins. The house structure was neat and my husband was very impressed with the blow hole that blows cold air.

Wupatki is a well preserved gem and a must visit place if you're interested in ruins. It is a place that gives you a true sense of what living must have been like in the harsh environment of the area. Never crowded and easy to get to. You could explore here all day and not seeing everything

What a great experience, from the pueblos to being able to hike in a lava field, this was awesome!! The "mothers breath" vent that blew COLD air, I did not want to leave!

The Trading Post was such a convenient and beautiful place to stay! Easy off/easy on to Hwy 89. We were in the Hopi building, 3rd floor, and had a great view of the river. It was surprisingly quiet given that it is right on the highway. So nice to have the restaurant right next to the rooms. Really good food, extremely reasonable prices! Our server was so kind and helpful. The trading post had some very unique Native American crafts and art, plus a huge selection of touristy souvenirs. We were just passing through on this trip, but the next time we head to both rims of the Grand Canyon, we'll stay there again. Bonus: there is a post office on the grounds as well.

We stopped in for dinner/shopping during a road trip. The restaurant is decorated wonderfully with a beautiful tin ceiling and native art hanging everywhere. The building is historic and feels amazing to spend time in a place so many other souls have passed thru while traveling. Take time to see all the beautiful art in the shop as well- these artists are so talented!! It should be a museum.

My Lady has never had a Navajo Taco. Cameron Trading Post serves the BEST Tacos in the area, so we took a little trip out for her to experience them first hand!! The food was AMAZING, and the rustic decor and views are worth checking out!! The gift shop is also amazing offering just about anything you would want, and even several things you didn’t know you wanted or need too!! Great place to stop for great food and also things to remember the trip through!!

We went to the restaurant. The flavors were amazing, the staff were pleasant, and the service was fast! We ordered the Navajo taco, prickly pear chicken, and the prickly pear drinks. 10/10 would recommend all of it! It’s also a beautiful dining area with a s s unset view of the mountain!

We Always stop here for lunch when we're up in the area. All the staff are friendly!! Lots of items in the large gift shop are made by the local Navajo/Hopi tribes...beautiful items & I always find something to buy for myself or as a gift. I love the Indian Fry Bread!! Did I say how much I like the staff?? Very lovely people...Always! We've been here numerous times since moving to the Verde Valley last year & we'll keep coming back. Dining room is very large so they can accommodate large groups, plenty of staff to take care of all the customers.

It was a recommended visit for reliable and authentic navajo jewelry. Jeff, Theresa, and a manager (who's name i can't remember!) Were awesome. I found a navajo pearl bracelet that I had been looking for but it was too big. Jeff immediately asked his mgr if it could be re beaded and then shipped to me. Theresa was more than willing to help and they all made it happen. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable with the pieces and stones that they sell and even shared with me how he has started making his own jewelry and silversmithing, which was beautiful. I couldn't have been more pleased with meeting him and finding exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely stop in when I'm in the area again.

I just stopped at the Cameron Trading Post restaurant, and honestly, I wasn't super impressed. The food was nothing special and the fries were quite bland. The Trading Post was very out of the way and I had about an hour of a drive just to get there. Much of the jewelry in the shop was greatly overprices, but a very large selection.

We had an awesome tour guide - Jennifer Whiterock - who walked us out and showed us what was what and told us stories about the finds. We saw a lot of really cool things, and she encouraged us to touch the bones, stand on them, etc - there is no other place I have ever been or very likely will - who would let you do that. Our guide brought a water bottle to add water to the finds to make them more visible. She made sure we were okay to continue exploring in the heat when a member was falling behind. She is so sweet. Be respectful of where you are. This belongs to the Navajo, and they chose to share this with you. Do not take bones or stones. Leave the environment as you find it. Listen to the stories and learn. Our guide told us payment was up to us, that we could pay as we saw fit. We bought some jewelry from her as well. If you can't pay, it's fine. Obviously, if you can, please do. This is a treasure they are sharing. Let your children see the wonders, even if you can't afford it. This is a once in a lifetime experience.

There are an abundance of tracks, and they look really cool with the red dirt water in them. Our guide was Jennifer. She told us where to park and greeted us when we got out. Her guiding style was show and identify a track, then walk to the next one and wait for us to take our pics and catch up to her. One track she said was a brontosaurus, and knowing better, I can say that it was not. But didn’t comment to her about the error. About 200’ into the tour, she declared that she was too hot, and returned to the jewelry stands. It wasn’t very hot that day, and she had a sweatshirt on that she could have taken off. So the tracks were really neat, but the interaction with our guide was sorely lacking. We gave her a good tip anyway, just because.

Well worth the stop! Orlando Whitestone was my guide when I was there and was incredibly knowledgeable! I highly recommend accepting a tour from a guide; they’ll point out the best tracks, fossilized eggs, fossilized dung piles, and point out the ancient river beds. The guides work off donations, $10-20 is a good range to tip for their service.

What a cool thing to see. So random, at first you're wondering if you're going to the right place. Middle of nowhere, sign that says dinosaur tracks. You just pull in and drive up to where the Natives have their little jewelery huts. Donate what you want for them to give you a tour, because they know where all the best tracks are. Tip heavily, they deserve it. They stand out in the heat all day. If it was bought out by some company and made into an attraction, you'd be paying a lot. I appreciate it being in its natural state.

This place is amazing. Our guide, Helen, was knowledgeable and knew exactly where to look. The area used to be an ocean and evidence of marine animalia and fauna was visible. She didn't ask for money, but I tipped her $20 for her excellent service.

The site itself is very interesting and worth stopping to see — there are real dinosaur track fossils here. In particular, the large three-toed tracks found in this area are consistent with Dilophosaurus, a real early Jurassic theropod that lived in this region around 190 million years ago. That part is accurate and scientifically supported. However, just a note about the guided explanations: the guides here are local individuals, not trained paleontologists, and some of the information offered can be incorrect. For example, we were told that there were T. rex and Velociraptor footprints here, but that is not possible — those dinosaurs lived over 100 million years later, in much younger rock layers than the ones at this site. So those particular claims were not accurate. My recommendation: Enjoy the site for what it truly is — a rare chance to see authentic Dilophosaurus-era tracks in the open desert. Just take the spoken explanations with caution and look up the scientific details afterward if you’re curious. Overall: Great stop, real footprints, but verify the dino facts independently.

What a wonderful experience!!! Connie was an amazing host who is patient and vey thoughtful. She shared accurate accounts of the dinosaurs and beautiful expressions of her culture.

This bridge is right off the highway, so it’s easy to pass by while driving. If you’re in the area, it’s a nice spot to stop and take a short walk. The view of the Colorado River from the bridge is beautiful, and you get a sense of the canyon’s scale. There’s also a small display about the history of the bridge. Quiet and peaceful, it’s a good place to slow down for a moment.

I adore this stop! It has a beautiful view of the canyon from the bridge. If you are lucky you will get to see a California Condor! You might even be able to snag a gift from the gift shop or handmade jewelry. It’s well worth the stop.

What a great stop! Very easy access to the bridge...If you need some retail therapy - they also have some native handmade items readily available in the stalls adjacent. The view of the river and surrounding rock is just gorgeous. Great history of this bridge is also provided.

Small visitor center and historic buildings are amazing and so is the bridge and views all around, especially if you get on the Colorado River and go under it down the Grand Canyon a day later! Perfect little restroom stop either way.

Wonderful spot. I was very impressed. I looked forward to seeing condors and was blessed to see 2. Walked the bridge, easy to walk a paved bridge and stretch your legs. Such a beautiful view on the river and canyon. Pick up some highly inflated priced t shirts too, lol I did!

Beautiful views of the canyon and river. The highlight was seeing the California condors. It is somewhat upsetting to see the big numbers in their wings.They do look like “inmates” .Hopefully one day we won’t have that anymore.

It’s a pretty impressive structure and I marvel at how they did this! It was nice to walk the “pedestrian” side and look at the side where the cars drive as well as look down to the Colorado River. They also have local artists selling their wares at the end by the visitor center. I suggest you barter for a good price! VictorB

A very scenic nature wonder with unique features. A paid parking lot is available near the spot. It requires a 10 min hike on a well delimited path. Make sure you get a bottle of water with you and take your time at the view points. Expect crowds, the location is very popular, even during a work day.

I'm giving it a 5 star only because of the spectacular view. Well maintained gravel walkway with some shaded seating areas. Maybe sort of ¾ mile walk one way. Just to park was expensive. $5.00 for motorcycle, $10.00 for car , I think $15 for RV .

This is an easy side visit in the Page, AZ hub of great sites to visit. It's a long gradual downgrade hike, about 1/2-3/4 mile hike to the overview. Of course that means it's an up hill climb on the return hike. There are 2 shaded rest spots along the trail. There a $10 entry fee and plenty of parking space. You can see from the many photos posted how great the view is.

Awesome site to see, pictures don't do it justice! The entire area around the viewpoint is a lot of fun with lots of scrambling opportunities! A lot of great viewing areas away from the tourist crowds at the main viewpoint. Highly recommend!

I’m speechless at the beauty of Horseshoe Bend. I was about to skip it on my way to Antelope Canyon, but since we arrived early, we decided to give it a chance, and it became one of the most incredible memories of our lives. Just be careful near the edges so you don’t fall! 😃

What a stunning view! Be prepared for a decent amount of people, but there is still many areas to walk and explore and amazing spots to take photos from!

Third time visiting here today and really beautiful in the overcast weather. The outskirts of the bend were really green with all the rain.

Antelope Canyon honestly felt like one of the biggest tourist traps I’ve ever experienced. Tickets are extremely expensive over $100 per person for what is basically a short guided walk through the canyon. Yes, the rock formations are beautiful, but the whole experience felt more staged than authentic. Our guide was friendly, but right before entering he told everyone to switch their cameras to the “vivid warm” setting so the colors would pop more in photos. That’s the moment I realized it was more about creating Instagram pictures than actually appreciating the natural wonder. It felt forced, and honestly, a bit like a scam. The tour itself was rushed, with groups lined up one after another. We were constantly told where to stand and how to pose for photos, which made it feel less like exploring nature and more like being herded through a photo studio. It was also crowded, noisy, and hard to actually take in the canyon without bumping into another group. For the price, I expected something longer, calmer, and more meaningful. Instead, it was over in less than an hour and felt like nothing more than a very expensive photo op. Overall, Antelope Canyon is beautiful but massively overpriced, crowded, and commercialized. If you’re looking for a real nature experience, you’ll be disappointed.

Antelope Canyon is one of the most beautiful and surreal places on Earth — a true natural wonder! But you can't get in for free! Keep in mind that the ticket costs around $150! The colors, the shapes, the light beams cutting through the narrow walls — it’s like walking inside a living piece of art. Every step feels magical, and every photo looks unreal. 📸 However, it’s important to know that entry to Antelope Canyon is only possible with a guided tour — you can’t explore it on your own. It’s located on Navajo land, and access is strictly controlled to protect the site and ensure safety. Tours can be a bit pricey, but they’re worth it — guides help you find the best angles for photos and share stories about the canyon’s history and meaning. If you don’t manage to book a tour or want to explore on your own, don’t worry — there are plenty of beautiful free spots nearby! You can visit Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, or drive through the desert roads around Page — the landscapes there are stunning and completely open. 🌄 Antelope Canyon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but the whole area around it is breathtaking too — full of places where you can feel the same spirit of the American Southwest. ❤️

We did the Upper Antelope Canyon tour and were rendered speechless at the beauty therein. Our guide, Mike, is amazing at capturing photos with whatever cellphone he was presented with.

Having visited one of my travel bucket lists with my bf finally during US Trip in Oct this time!! It’s an absolutely breathtaking spot which is surreal and stunning for the artistry of nature. It’s in Arizona & located on Navajo Nation land. This magnificent spot is well-known for its sculpted sandstone walls and the light beams that illuminate the passages. The spectacular scenery looks so unreal when it exists in front of me!! This spot must take a guided tour to enter and it’s available to choose either the Upper or Lower sections and we finally went for Upper one as the original tour to Lower section is being cancelled due to flood warning. Although it’s more costly than lower section, we were glad that we have made this decision as the tour guide was so professional to have photo shooting for us with the best angles (capture the most memorable moments!!) as well as share the history of Canyon. To supplement from some research earlier, the best moment to visit Upper Antelope will be Mar - Oct during midday (1100-1300) in which sun is high enough to create famous light beams. If you will visit Arizona, it’s highly recommend to feature it into your itinerary and is definitely a place that must visit once in a lifetime!

My sister and I road tripped from FL to AZ specifically to tour the Upper and Lower Canyon! Worth the drive! My husband now wants to do the same trip next year and tour the Canyons! Best trip and experience of my life!

Antelope Canyon is one of the most unique natural features you’ll ever see! It’s stunningly gorgeous and walking through the canyon feels almost otherworldly at times. While the guided tour is expensive and moves you through the canyon quickly, there are other slot canyons in the same area you can explore if you want a different experience. We appreciated the guide’s tips for where to take photos, as she revealed unique shapes that only become visible from certain angles as the light hits the canyon. Would have loved to take the photography tour, but unfortunately we were short on time and the lower canyon tours were cancelled due to recent rainfall.

What can I say what an experience this was , the tour guide took the time out with everyone and put himself out to be as helpful as he could . It was very enjoyable and amazing to see something different and amazing around every corner . Well worth a visit if you're in that part of the USA . We had such a lovely time and made another fabulous memory. I would highly recommend paying it a visit it's very photogenic so have plenty of space for pictures.

That’s the moment I realized it was more about creating Instagram pictures than actually appreciating the natural wonder. It felt forced, and honestly, a bit like a scam. The tour itself was rushed, with groups lined up one after another. We were constantly told where to stand and how to pose for photos, which made it feel less like exploring nature and more like being herded through a photo studio. It was also crowded, noisy, and hard to actually take in the canyon without bumping into another group. For the price, I expected something longer, calmer, and more meaningful. Instead, it was over in less than an hour and felt like nothing more than a very expensive photo op. Overall, Antelope Canyon is beautiful but massively overpriced, crowded, and commercialized. If you’re looking for a real nature experience, you’ll be disappointed.

Antelope Canyon is one of the most beautiful and surreal places on Earth — a true natural wonder! But you can't get in for free! Keep in mind that the ticket costs around $150! The colors, the shapes, the light beams cutting through the narrow walls — it’s like walking inside a living piece of art. Every step feels magical, and every photo looks unreal. 📸 However, it’s important to know that entry to Antelope Canyon is only possible with a guided tour — you can’t explore it on your own. It’s located on Navajo land, and access is strictly controlled to protect the site and ensure safety. Tours can be a bit pricey, but they’re worth it — guides help you find the best angles for photos and share stories about the canyon’s history and meaning. If you don’t manage to book a tour or want to explore on your own, don’t worry — there are plenty of beautiful free spots nearby! You can visit Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, or drive through the desert roads around Page — the landscapes there are stunning and completely open. 🌄 Antelope Canyon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but the whole area around it is breathtaking too — full of places where you can feel the same spirit of the American Southwest. ❤️

We did the Upper Antelope Canyon tour and were rendered speechless at the beauty therein. Our guide, Mike, is amazing at capturing photos with whatever cellphone he was presented with.

Having visited one of my travel bucket lists with my bf finally during US Trip in Oct this time!! It’s an absolutely breathtaking spot which is surreal and stunning for the artistry of nature. It’s in Arizona & located on Navajo Nation land. This magnificent spot is well-known for its sculpted sandstone walls and the light beams that illuminate the passages. The spectacular scenery looks so unreal when it exists in front of me!! This spot must take a guided tour to enter and it’s available to choose either the Upper or Lower sections and we finally went for Upper one as the original tour to Lower section is being cancelled due to flood warning. Although it’s more costly than lower section, we were glad that we have made this decision as the tour guide was so professional to have photo shooting for us with the best angles (capture the most memorable moments!!) as well as share the history of Canyon. To supplement from some research earlier, the best moment to visit Upper Antelope will be Mar - Oct during midday (1100-1300) in which sun is high enough to create famous light beams. If you will visit Arizona, it’s highly recommend to feature it into your itinerary and is definitely a place that must visit once in a lifetime!

My sister and I road tripped from FL to AZ specifically to tour the Upper and Lower Canyon! Worth the drive! My husband now wants to do the same trip next year and tour the Canyons! Best trip and experience of my life!

Antelope Canyon is one of the most unique natural features you’ll ever see! It’s stunningly gorgeous and walking through the canyon feels almost otherworldly at times. While the guided tour is expensive and moves you through the canyon quickly, there are other slot canyons in the same area you can explore if you want a different experience. We appreciated the guide’s tips for where to take photos, as she revealed unique shapes that only become visible from certain angles as the light hits the canyon. Would have loved to take the photography tour, but unfortunately we were short on time and the lower canyon tours were cancelled due to recent rainfall.

What can I say what an experience this was , the tour guide took the time out with everyone and put himself out to be as helpful as he could . It was very enjoyable and amazing to see something different and amazing around every corner . Well worth a visit if you're in that part of the USA . We had such a lovely time and made another fabulous memory. I would highly recommend paying it a visit it's very photogenic so have plenty of space for pictures.

Visiting Coyote Buttes was an adventure like no other! The vibrant, swirling sandstone formations were absolutely breathtaking, with shades of orange, red, and gold creating a surreal landscape. We hiked to The Wave, the most iconic spot, and it felt like walking through a natural masterpiece. Every turn revealed new textures and patterns—it was a photographer’s dream. Another highlight was the peacefulness; the limited permits made it feel like we had this otherworldly place almost to ourselves. Fun fact: the formations are over 190 million years old, shaped by wind and water over time. The only downside? The hike to get there is challenging, especially in the heat, but it’s well worth the effort. An unforgettable day in nature’s art gallery!

This place is amazing . If you hike there no really a sign on the trail . But if you follow the map you will be fine, My husband and I hike and bring our wedding clothes. Unforgettable place ever.

This review refers to South Coyote Buttes. Not much to say except don't miss hiking in this incredible and huge place. Let the photos speak for themselves.

We went the end of May 2025. Stunning geography, perfect weather, not a bad hike, recommend starting early at dawn. Take plenty of water. Good luck with the lottery, worth every step.

South Coyote Buttes is the most butte-iful place I have seen thus far. Get your permit and go.. you'll need a 4wd high clearance vehicle. Be prepared to hike in deep sand and scramble up and down slickrock. Tip: Book a tour with Dreamland Safari Tours. They will guide you through all the sites so you don't miss anything!

These are the best landscapes in the area. Like walking on Mars. Incredible photo ops. All places are accessed by rough dirt road. Some places can be accessed by rental some cannot. Know the difference or hire a guide like Dreamland Safari. Requires advance permits.

I must say this region is similar to the Wave (North Coyote Buttes). If you want to visit just the White Pocket no need permit. But if you want to have a look at the Cottonwood Cove you have to get permit in Kanab. The Cottonwood Cave is amazing just do not forget: to get the just 4x4.
