May 2nd – 10th, 2024
This tour only allows for a small group without exception. Once again, we are offering new tours with smaller groups! This tour will allow for only 10 photographers with 2 Instructors! This is exciting but also means our tours sell out even quicker now.
Join MPA as we discover and share with you the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, exclusive Slot Canyon, Horseshoe Bend Access, and MUCH MORE!
About the Slot Canyon and Horseshoe Bend
Slot Canyon Exclusive – We have gained INCREDIBLE and EXCLUSIVE, access to a Slot Canyon that you will find breathtaking. We are the only ones allowed for a two-hour slot canyon experience like no other!
Navajo Dancers and Horseshoe Canyon – We will be driven to the Navajo-owned portion of Horseshoe Canyon at Sunset. Awaiting us will be a team of International Champion Navajo Hoop Dancers that will perform for us at the ridge of Horseshoe Bend at Sunset!
*Hiking- The hikes will be easy and short for the most part. Occasionally, a longer more strenuous hike may be optional and offered. For those that choose not to do such a hike, there is no problem as there will always be two groups and sets of instructors making this a tour almost anyone can do.

EXCLUSIVE ACCESS to Slot Canyons!
This is truly something you will not be able to do on your own and alone is worth the tour! We have gained EXCLUSIVE access and time to photograph in slot canyons on private Navajo land!
It is important to understand how unique and exclusive this is. Our group, due to our relationship, is given incredible access privately! We will spend approximately 2 hours in the slot canyon. Unlike any typical slot canyon tour where you get just a minute or two plus have to fight the crowds, we get TIME, ACCESS and the ability to use Tripods!
Our group will be taken via private guided 4×4 to the slot canyon. This is approximately a 6 mile backcountry drive that is an awesome photographic opportunity itself. We will also have private guides with us to help and answer any questions about this sacred land that interest you.
Upon arrival at the slot canyon, you will take an easy nature hike to the narrow and winding slot canyon. The beauty of this Slot Canyon is that you will be in the ONLY group that is there at that time. You can truly avoid the crowds of Antelope Canyon and come experience a photographer’s dream. This Navajo Nation slot canyon has been preserved for those who want to have a quieter slot canyon experience and we have been given the ability to do so privately!
Join us as we explore some of the best the Southwest has to offer! Planned sessions at the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Private access Slot Canyons, Zion, and Bryce based on time. PLUS….some nighttime star photography!
