Trail Overview

This short trail will take you to an unobstructed cliffside viewpoint of the slots in Antelope Canyon. A view with no other access road and would typically require a guided hiking tour to see from below, it is unrivaled. Just off of another trail, "Lake Powell View Loop", the trail to and from is just under 1 mile in length and is a mixture of mostly sand and dirt. The only difficulty in this trail is the washboard bumps along the way; however, there is a rain wash crossing that could be significantly affected by rainfall. At the overlook, you will be driving onto rock, the trail will end abruptly, and you will be required to turn around. Be cautious of plant life and the cliff's edge when backing up; there is plenty of space to avoid these. Be ready for some incredible cliffside views of the slot canyon below.
