2. Antelope Canyon

You’ve probably seen a picture of this hike on your Instagram feed, and for good reason. Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona is filled with twisting walls that will make you feel like you’re in a whole new world. A tour guide is required in order to explore the trail, but don’t let that turn you away. The actual walk is only half a mile, so if you’re looking for the perfect photo op, Antelope Canyon should be on your list.

3. Bright Angel Trail

The Bright Angel Trail is one of the most popular hikes in Grand Canyon National Park. This hike is rim-to-river, so it is described by many as a difficult hike.

One thing is for sure, the views of the inner canyon are breathtaking, and you’ll be proud of yourself when you check off Bright Angel Trail from your bucket list.
