Enjoy the views from 1000 feet above this amazing place before continuing the journey towards Antelope Canyon.
Antelope Canyon, a slot canyon shaped by centuries of flash floods is a truly spectacular place. A local Navajo guide will escort you through the weaving walls of this incredible place and provide insight into its significance.

Day 4
Hiking and Yoga Vortex Experience.
Begin the day with an incredible sunrise hot air balloon ride over Sedona.

Upon landing, enjoy a lively champagne breakfast and return to town for some leisure time. Note: Alternate activity ideas will be provided for those not fond of heights or early mornings.
No visit to Sedona would be complete without a visit to one of the area’s many known vortexes, “thought to be swirling centers of energy that are conducive to healing, meditation and self-exploration. These are places where the earth seems especially alive with energy. Many people feel inspired, recharged or uplifted after visiting a vortex.” Discover for yourself what all the talk is about on a guided Hiking and Yoga Vortex Experience. No yoga experience required!
