Waterhole Canyon Experience, LLC (WCE) is a Navajo family owned and operated business that offers guided tours through the slot canyon known as Waterhole Canyon. Located just 5 miles south of Page, AZ on the Navajo Nation is a beautiful slot canyon waiting to be discovered, without the large crowds. Antelope Canyon and the Slot Canyons are protected by Navajo Parks and Recreation and only authorized tour companies can take people. You can’t just hike there on your own. Are Slot Canyon Tours Worth It? The Slot Canyon Tour for Horseshoe Bend Tours is $90 for adults (ages 12 and up) and $65 for children ages 6-11.

Slot Canyons are very narrow canyons with nearly vertical canyon walls so close together that you touch both canyon walls at once; some are so tight that you have to turn sideways to squeeze through. If you are claustrophic, then slot canyons aren’t for you -unless you want to challenge your inner fears. With an abundance of massive Navajo Sandstone, the Escalante Canyons have one of the greatest concentrations of slot canyons in the southern Utah, and probably the world! Their sinuous passages were carved by flashfloods that cut through thick layers of soft sandstone like a knife through butter, to create some or our most wonderous hiking routes. Moisture on the bottom of the slots dissolves away the mineral cements that glue sand grains together, while the canyon walls remain relatively dry and solid. This simple explanation doesn’t begin to capture the magic of exploring a slot canyon – Walt Disney couldn’t have recreated them if he tried. Shapes and textures are sensuous and light bouncing off the canyon walls appears to glow in shades of red and gold. Pour-offs, scoured potholes, and chokestones (rock fall boulders wedged into the slot canyon) will challenge your canyoneering skills – but your guide will lend a hand if you need help. Slot canyons can be dangerous (even deadly) in the event of flash floods, so we reserve the option to cancel or reschedule slot canyon hikes if thunderstorms threaten (we would probably suggest an alternate hike where we might enjoy waterfalls if you have raingear). Each place has its own special wonders, but we guarantee that you will love all of our slot canyon hikes!!
