<p>if your doing photography my only recommendation is to do Horseshoe Bend first for sunrise/early morning light while the sun is at your back and the canyon is sort of evenly lit.....it's about a 3/4 mile hike each way in mostly sand so it's not exactly easy, especially on the way out......upper Antelope is a zoo so it really doesn't matter what time you go unless you want to photograph the light beams.....for that you need one of the photography tours between 11am and 1pm</p>
<p>attached photo is from Horseshoe Bend about halfway up the hill on the way out</p><div></div>
