How to visitNavajo-guided tour required (Upper or Lower); reserve early

Wind and flash floods carved this glowing corkscrew of sandstone near Page, where midday sun drops in shafts of light through the narrow slot. It sits on Navajo land, so every visit is a guided tour — and worth booking well ahead.
