Let's go to the mystical high desert of Arizona in beautiful Sedona! This is the ideal location for hiking with gorgeous views around every turn while enjoying perfect fall weather. We will enjoy the trendy shops and restaurants of Sedona and help support the local economy! A day trip to the stunning rock waves of Antelope Canyon and gorgeous Horseshoe Bend will surely be a highlight of this trip! Grab your hiking boots and join us for this epic adventure!

We are in one of the most beautiful hiking destinations in the United States, so we will be hiking daily! The hikes are rated as moderate and will have some minor scrambling over boulders with some shale and uneven ground. We suggest you prepare for these hikes by hitting some local hikes that have some elevation gain and/or hit the stair-stepper at the gym to get your lungs and legs in shape.

Note: Sedona sits at a high elevation (4,360'), so try to do some high elevation hikes to prepare if you have them available in your local area.

Day 3 - Antelope Canyon
Tour Antelope Canyon and Hike to Horseshoe Bend
Today we will take a guided tour to Horseshoe Bend and Lower Antelope Canyon. We’ll see the Painted Desert and Navajo Nation, and enjoy lunch at Glen Canyon Dam and shop at Cameron Trading Post.

Antelope Canyon is the most visited, most photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It’s one of the most famous in the world, known for light beams peering down through walls of Navajo Sandstone.

Along our drive through Oak Creek Canyon, we'll see the San Francisco Peaks overlooking Flagstaff and the Painted Desert, a colorful landscape of every hue.

Our experienced local guide will share insights about the ancient cultures, geology, flora and fauna along the way. We'll see the Navajo Nation, the largest Indian reservation in the United States, and learn about its people.

At Horseshoe Bend, we’ll take a 1.5-mile round-trip hike to the Overlook for a spectacular view. The mighty Colorado River cuts through Glen Canyon 1,100 feet below and unveils how the bend got its name. We'll have lunch at Glen Canyon Dam and see Lake Powell, America’s second-largest, man-made lake.

In Page, Arizona we’ll meet our Navajo Guide for a 60- to 90-minute tour of Lower Antelope Canyon. We’ll descend into an amazing slot canyon carved by flash floods and eroding winds and learn about the many colors of Navajo Sandstone and why the canyon is sacred. Our Navajo Guide will offer tips for taking dazzling images of the narrow passages.

On the way back to Sedona, we’ll stop at Cameron Trading Post to shop for authentic Native American art and souvenirs.

After returning to Sedona, we will enjoy a group dinner.

Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Activity: Approximately 2.5 miles of hiking in Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. You must be able to climb up and down several steep, ladder-like staircases.

I had an amazing time on our Sedona trip! The first day of hiking was moderate yet challenging for me in some areas. I sometimes feel that I have to accept the fact that I am aging and can’t do what I once was able to do. But I truly felt accomplished and have a renewed sense of achievement and want to do more hiking with the Chicas! The tour we took to Antelope Canyon and the beauty of our surroundings was indescribable! I really enjoyed getting to know our guide Jocelyn! I am beyond thankful for The Chicas Abroad Group! Through Melanie and many of the Chicas, I am learning to become an OVERCOMER!

By Kelly A for SOLD OUT! Sedona Hiking Adventure on Nov 30, 2024

We love that you found us, Kelly! You are so fun to adventure with and we are happy to hear that these trips are making you feel accomplished and overcome! Looking forward to more adventures with you!

By Chicas Abroad on Nov 30, 2024

Sedona was a wonderful adventure with family, past Chicas, and new Chicas. It is a blessing to show up and have Melanie, the leader, get us to where we are to go; pay for the meals etc. I am 68 and not a fast hiker, however, the group was patient with me and always had my back, along with encouraging words. If I had to say no to a particular section of the hike where the group could meet me on the return that was completely acceptable. Memories were formed that are eternal: so worth the expense and time. God Bless

By Rebecca M for SOLD OUT! Sedona Hiking Adventure on Nov 13, 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed the Chicas Abroad hiking trip to Sedona. When they say that they take care of all the details, they mean it. All you have to do is register and show up! It is a worry free adventure where both introverts and extroverts are welcome. The food was delicious and the company even better! The hiking, scenery, and day trip to antelope canyon were memorable experiences. I can’t wait to sign up for my next adventure with Chicas Abroad!

By Marcia R for SOLD OUT! Sedona Hiking Adventure on Nov 07, 2024

The hiking was amazing, the weather was perfect, and the gals on the trip were fantastic! Jocelyn and Melanie planned everything and anticipated every detail. I can’t wait to travel with the group again and have already signed up for another trip! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
