Read on to learn more about the lower canyon to see if it’s a better fit for you! Read also: What to Pack for Arizona in the Winter (& What I Wish I’d Brought) And who doesn’t like to save money? The tours through Lower Antelope Canyon cost $50 per person for the regular tour, whereas the most basic tours for the Upper canyon are almost twice that.

It’s also cheaper to visit Lower Antelope Canyon than it is the Upper canyon. That means even if you’re in sold out tour groups like I was, it’s still a fairly intimate experience. There are actually fewer companies that visit Lower Antelope Canyon and they travel in smaller groups as well. This isn’t just because of the one-way traffic, however. Speaking of crowds, Lower Antelope Canyon is far less crowded than the much more famous Upper Canyon. This means you won’t have to contend with the crowded return traffic while making your way through the slot canyon. You enter from one side and exit from the other. The biggest part of its appeal for me is that foot traffic only goes one way. However, if you only have time for one, Lower Antelope Canyon is better for a few reasons: It’s one-way They have different looks and you’ll get a full experience seeing both versions.

Let me begin by saying that if you’re enthusiastic about photography and have time for both tours, you should definitely consider visiting both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon. The Veiled Woman | Photo © Tim Van Der Linden
