2025 Coconino County Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

Despite the cold weather and limited sunlight reaching the bottom of the canyon in November, we still managed to capture beautiful photos and memories in the dim light and blue sky. This is a privately operated tourist spot by the native people. To preserve the unique terrain formed over thousands of years, you are not allowed to bring any backpacks or shoulder bags into the area. Keep your valuables close and travel light to enjoy the stunning natural scenery of Antelope Canyon!

#solotrip #100waysoftravel #holiday #usa #trip Embarking on a four-day solo trip to Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, and the surrounding areas was an exhilarating experience filled with vibrant sights, rich history, and opportunities for exploration. With a rented car, I was able to navigate this dynamic region at my own pace, making for an unforgettable journey. I set out for a day trip to the Hoover Dam, located just a short drive away from Las Vegas. The dam’s impressive architecture and its significance in American engineering were awe-inspiring. Walking across the dam offered stunning views of the Colorado River and Lake Mead, making it a perfect spot for photography. This solo trip to Las Vegas and its surrounding attractions was a remarkable experience that showcased the best of what the region has to offer, from the bustling Strip visiting malls and interesting hotels, to the serene beauty of Hoover Dam and got the A&W my favorite fast food meal. It was a journey of self-discovery and adventure, one that I will cherish for years to come. #moment #旅行灵感 #世界遗产 #awesomepic

#usatravel #arizona We wonder how nature created the unreal beauty of Horseshoe Bend. Even after seeing it with our own eyes, we still couldn't believe how beautiful it truly is. During our summer vacation road trip, we had the chance to experience one of the most unforgettable scenic places we've ever been to: Horseshoe Bend. Located just a few miles from Page, Arizona, Horseshoe Bend is one of the most iconic and breathtaking viewpoints in the American Southwest. This dramatic meander of the Colorado River, shaped like a horseshoe, offers stunning panoramic views that attract visitors from around the world each year. When we arrived at the area, we found a well-marked parking lot for Horseshoe Bend visitors. From there, it’s about a 0.75-mile hike to the overlook. Upon reaching the overlook, we were greeted by one of the most spectacular views in the Southwest. The Colorado River makes a sharp, horseshoe-shaped bend, creating a stunning contrast between the deep blue-green water and the red sandstone cliffs. The overlook is about 1,000 feet above the river, providing a perfect vantage point for panoramic photos. We stayed there much longer than we thought we would despite the heat of the Arizona summer. The view we saw was worth every moment spent under the sun. In our opinion, Horseshoe Bend is a must-visit spot in the United States that no one should miss.

Our trip to Havasu Falls was an amazing and unforgettable experience. Havasu Falls is located in the Grand Canyon range in Arizona, USA. We arrived there after a short drive and a few hours of hiking. When we first saw the falls, we couldn't believe their beauty. The sparkling sweet blue water created a very picturesque scene. The water was pure and cool, perfect for swimming and enjoying a proper time.

White Pocket Located in Arizona, White Pocket is like a natural art palace. The colors of the rock layers range from pure white to deep orange, weaving intoxicating pictures. The Wave The Wave, near the aforementioned White Pocket, is so named for its landscape that resembles waves on the rock surface. Devil's Tower Devil's Tower is located in the northeast of Wyoming in the western United States. This towering giant column of rock was formed millions of years ago when magma from beneath the earth's surface surged and solidified. During the cooling process, the magma contracted to form countless tightly connected hexagonal rock columns. Monument Valley The rugged and chaotic terrain makes it feel like another planet, with red sandstone pillars standing like guardians of the earth. At sunrise and sunset, the sunlight drapes them in a golden coat. Sedona Sedona, a favorite vacation spot for Americans, is filled with ubiquitous red rocks and rock trails, and is a famous spiritual healing sanctuary. Craters of the Moon This corner of Idaho resembles an alien landscape with its black lava plains painting a 'lunar' surface. Wahweap Hoodoos These stone rocks, formed millions of years ago, look like white mushrooms standing tall on the border of Utah and Arizona, with white columns and black hats, sparking endless imagination. And today, I also share with you a very wonderful Utah Airbnb cabin named Zion EcoCabin: Private Hot Tub, Zion Canyon Views Rating: 4.88·267 reviews Price: 4700+/2 Location: The cabin is located at the bottom of the canyon in Hildale, Utah, with shops and cafes nearby, and about a 50min drive to Zion National Park. Experience & Highlights The cabin has a broad view, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the South Zion Mountains right from the bed. The room is prepared with various seasonings and toiletries, and it is very convenient to cook by yourself. The area is very quiet, like a secluded little planet, and at night you can see the Milky Way filling the sky. The room's door can be fully opened, and the view in front of you is like a still oil painting.

❤️ I had visited antelope canyon during the September weekend. It was HOT, so bring your water. However once the tour started, you would forget all that. Also the canyon itself has surprisingly cooler temps. They take you to the canyon itself and then there is walking/hiking involved. ❤️ Climbing back up from the canyon was the most difficult since I’m travelling with kid but there are shaded rest stops. Super friendly guides are there to help you, take pictures. They dont rush, but do appreciate folks moving along in a group. ❤️ There is no cellphone signal, so download your maps or memorize route back. Driving back to Page, the cellphone connectivity resumed within a mile of driving out of that area. Love this place! #hiddengems #awesomepic #canyon #usa

This incredible sight, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, is in the U.S. state of Arizona. It's one of those beautiful places for which photos or video just don't do it justice-its sheer size and scope are hard to comprehend. With geology formed over the past two billion years, yes billion, the 277-mile-long canyon itself is believed to have been started around five to six million years ago. It was formed by the flow of the Colorado River, which still flows through it and continues to erode the geology along its course. The Grand Canyon is up to 18 miles wide in places and up to a mile deep. Imagine standing on the edge, looking down a sheer rock wall almost a mile to the river below. Most visitors come to the area referred to as the South Rim. This is where a number of impressive hiking trails into the Grand Canyon begin and great overlooks are spread along the rim road, known as Desert View Drive. A range of accommodations is available here and nearby, from tents to a rustic luxury canyon-side resort built from logs. A few accommodations are also found on the remote North Rim. Many visitors access the canyon via the historic Grand Canyon Railway, which runs from the town of Williams, Arizona. The 64-mile rail line provides an entertaining way to get to the canyon with food and live music onboard #placetosee #stunningbeach #beachparty #beachlovers #topbeach #placetovisit #bestbeach #travel #perfectbeach #localescapes #helloautumn #beachvacation #hotelstaycation

Stayed in the United States for a month, then went to Las Vegas for a few days. I looked up a lot of recommendations in advance, including the outfits, which were really great! ❣️It is recommended to book a local day trip by charter, which is convenient and reasonably priced. Why do we suggest everyone to charter a car? 1. Because places like Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon are all in Page, which is at least a 5-hour drive from Las Vegas, making the round trip a total of 10 hours. We have to leave at 5am just to complete a day's itinerary... driving ourselves is just too tiring!! 2. Chartering a car means having a driver and a tour guide. The master will explain all the way, introduce the characteristics of various hotels in Las Vegas, and even the historical past, which is particularly interesting. They will also recommend various delicious and fun places... When they arrive at the scenic spot, they will also explain some stories about the scenic spot. If you go there by yourself, you won't understand anything... you can only take pictures! In Antelope Canyon, there are local Indian guides who are particularly familiar with the scenic spot! They know the angle to take pictures that looks the best, and can take big shots in minutes... they can also help you take pictures.

Antelope Canyon is one of the must-visit attractions in the United States. In addition to Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon, there is also a lesser-known X Antelope Canyon. 🌟Highlight features: Antelope Valley has two canyons, one is a 100-meter rocky path where you can see the refracted scenery of the canyon walls. The other is a slot canyon where you can see light beams. Compared to Upper and Lower Antelope Valley, Antelope Valley has fewer people and is better for taking photos. 📝Small tip: Be sure to follow the guide! They will help you adjust the camera settings and take great photos for you. ⏳Play time: 1.5 hours 🕙Best time to visit: The best time to visit Antelope Canyon is from April to September, when it's warm and sunny. Also, noon is the best time for photography!

Antelope Canyon is one of the most famous photography sites in the world. It belongs to the Navajo people and is divided into Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon. Legend has it that there used to be many pronghorn antelopes here, and the Navajo people often came here to meditate or communicate with the gods. Upper Antelope Canyon is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. At noon in summer, the best time for light and shadow, there will be light beams pouring down, illuminating the bottom of the canyon. Lower Antelope Canyon is the opposite, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with less light affected by season and time. In November, the angle of sunlight has already tilted southward, and even at noon, Upper Antelope Canyon does not have good light and shadow effects. Upper Antelope Canyon. Antelope Canyon is one of the most famous photography destinations in the world. It belongs to the Navajo people and is divided into Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon.

Third time's a charm, I won the lottery and went to the Wave. I was really impressed to see the one-of-a-kind marbled rock formations with my very own eyes! The rock formations were harder than I thought when I touched them, but as tourists from all over the world visit, there are concerns about environmental changes. It's hard to visit, but I was lucky enough to be able to visit, and it was worth it to have refrained from traveling abroad due to COVID! #breathtakingview #thewave

#horseshoebend #amazing Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, United States. It is also referred to as the "east rim of the Grand Canyon." You'll rarely get to such an amazing natural wonder with such little effort. The hike is about 15 mins along a gentle well paved path. Once you get to the bend, walk around as there are a ton of places where you will get different views. If you like a bit of adventure, go all the way to the right and climb up for a special view. A little advice, dont get too near to the edge.

The Canyon is a truly remarkable place and an excellent location to get photos and to take in the scenery This is a must-see, unbelievable experience! Phantastic formations, amazing colours of the shaped sand stone and a lot of information from our guide gave us an unforgetable day in Antelope canyon. Our tour guide is amazing!!! Knowledgeable, super nice, and helped us all to take absolutely beautiful pictures. He knows every special spot in the canyon. No one should miss this experience. #couplestrip #tripblazers

#bucketlistreboot Not like another tour spot on the earth, Antelope Canyon's otherworldly beauty makes it one of the most highly sought-after destinations in the world, and access to this natural marvel is granted only with a Navajo guide.

The Antelope Canyon is a must visit place along with the Grand Canyon. It is so impressive and stunning but a bit pricey and the activity is quite short around 30 min. When we went there, there was a sand storm inside and we needed to cover our heads with our T-shirt. We recommend you to bring a scarf or something to cover you, also sunglasses, in case you experience the same. -Admission fee: 60$ . . . #passionpassport #summervacation #usa #naturalwonders #nationalpark #scenicspotguide

Location: Coconino National Forest, Arizona Experience: love to travel, explore nature, hiking, a wanderlust! Follow me as I document and share my travel experiences!

You might have seen these in different commercials. An image on the box of your tv, maybe a background saver in your computer or simply a beautiful wall paper. But this beauty will amaze you when you see it personally with your own eyes. Truly a beautiful creation God has blessed us with.

After months if not years of attempts, we finally win the lottery to get the permits to The Wave. It is stated that only 48 people are allowed into the trail per day. The 6 mile hike was easy to moderate, and the beautiful view is well worth the long time waiting. We spent around 5 hours for the entire trip including 1-hour rest and photographing at the Wave area. We actually also went to the Second Wave, but it was not as good as the Wave. Due to the erosion, the Second Wave has been very flat and the curve of the rocks are no longer obvious. As a reminder, all lotteries are taken online now. Pla. ahead so that you could get a permit. #wave

Located just under 3 hours north of Phoenix, Arizona, you’ll find the famous red rocks of Sedona. There are so many amazing hikes to do in Sedona, but you won’t want to miss Soldier Pass Trail, Bell Rock, Devil’s Bridge, and Cathedral Rock. Be sure to bring plenty of water in a reusable water bottle, proper hiking shoes, and sunscreen, and NEVER leave behind any trash or damage the wildlife by going off-trail. For food, I recommend brunch or lunch at SaltRock Restaurant at the Amara Hotel, having a creekside meal at the L’Auberge patio, and trying everything possible on the menu at Pump House Station. To park at Sedona’s various hiking trails, you’ll need to purchase a Red Rock Pass. The Pass is $5 per day, $15 per week, or $20 per year and can be purchased at a visitor’s center, trailheads, or many businesses and hotels around town. #awesomepic

|Now I know why you need to draw lots to visit the Wave Valley. 📍The Wave From the parking lot, we walked under the sun, and the vast land was so quiet that we could only hear the sound of crows and our breathing. We walked through green fields, dry grass, and barren red land, passing some wave-shaped rock piles and hills with strange colors and shapes. Before reaching the Wave Valley, I wondered who discovered such a hidden place. When I was in the Wave Valley, my doubts turned into amazement. How could there be such a beautiful place? Then we climbed to the top of the mountain, and every time we looked down, we were shocked by the wonders of nature. I fully understand why you need to draw lots. Not only the Wave Valley, but every tree, every puddle, every beach, and every rock pile in the area is precious. ———— On the day of the draw, we accidentally drove to the parking lot. My lucky friend got a permit on the first try. Hiking 8 miles in the winter sun is not too hot.
