What’s the difference between Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon?

LOWER CANYON: This slot canyon is longer and is situated below ground. The experience is more physically demanding and will have you descending ladders, sand floors, and maneuvering over small boulders. The entire Tour from start to finish requires about 1 mile of walking . Lower Antelope Canyon is shaped like a “V” with a narrow pathway that opens up to the sky. Whereas Upper Antelope Canyon is shaped like an “A” with a wider pathway that narrows as you approach the top of the canyon.

UPPER CANYON: Upper Antelope Canyon is more accessible.  Its entrance and entire length are at ground level, requiring no climbing, and much less walking. The experience trip is about one hour.
