Everything You Need to Know About Antelope Canyon X

Last spring break our family spent a week in Arizona, Nevada and Utah and made a point to visit Antelope Canyon X because of beautiful pictures I had seen online. And let me tell you, it lived up to the hype. There are several tours available, but we chose to go with Canyon X because of its availability and price (the other tours fill up fast and cost more!).

Below, I’ve given you a comprehensive guide on Antelope Canyon X tours. So, keep reading!
