Hello, my family and my friends. I am Richardson Etsitty. I am born for the Black Streak Wood people clan and Rock Gap Clan from my father. My grandfather, my mother’s father, clan is Deer Spring and my Nali’s, my father’s mother, clan is The Towering House people. I reside on the Navajo Nation of Lechee Rock, Arizona.
Thank you and I am very grateful from all around.
I’ve lived on the Navajo Reservation my entire life, without electricity and running water. As I grew up exploring the canyons in my backyard with my siblings, horseback riding, hiking, herding livestock and finding new places to fill our time. There was never a worry from our parents as we were always close by, the land around us took care of us as we roamed free. As I grew up, I appreciated the beauty of the surrounding area.
UPPER Antelope Canyon is just less than a 1/2 mile away, which Antelope Canyon is a popular location for VISITORS and a source of tourism business for our people of the LECHEE community. It has been accessible by tour SINCE 1983 by Pearl Y. Begay, my mom being a decedent of my Grandma (Shi’Masani in Diné Bizaad). It provided me with my first job when I was 8-9 years of age and been a Professional Guide as a Navajo tour guide in the Upper portion Of Antelope Canyon AREA.
I appreciated the natural beauty of the canyon and with many stories told and was able to share that with guests from all around the world. Working in the canyon for many years helped patiently act of photography and sharing the stories of my DINE LAND.
As a Family company, we want our guest to experience our traditional navajo homes known as the Hogan. The Hogan has not only given us a place to call home but an opportunity to continue to better ourselves everytime we step into a traditional or modern Hogan. We sleep in the security of ourselves, our ancestors make us to be awaken in harmony and peace to glory life. I wish the same healing on others as I have experienced myself inside our traditional Hogan.
“This is a true once in a lifetime experience, beyond your wildest dreams.”

We came for the upper antelope tour, the hiking part. The weather was too hot, didn’t enjoy the walk, we chose it because pricing was the cheapest. The hour we chose to start is 1pm , the told to come 45 minutes before start but that was so unnecessary and we waited at the sun, in warm hours. In addition the hour wasn’t well enough because most of the antelope stones were too dark. I think this tour is overrated and overpriced. Wouldn’t do that again. We do have to add that the tour guy was nice and we enjoyed his company, very positive person. he’s very welcoming,thanks.

This is a rustic experiance, but one we a glad we did. Wonderful talk with the owner on the history and culture of the Hogan and a nice breakfast of traditional foods.

We did the tour. Be aware! You have to walk a long distance to the canyon in the heat. I doesn’t show that very clear on the website. Booking a tour with a car ride to the canyon can be more comfortable if you want to skip the walk. The canyon was amazing and absolute worth the walk.

It was a good experience! My tips are below: Book from official sites so you can be safe and not worry about third party scams even if it’s just a little cheaper. The phone didn’t work when I tried so maybe go earlier and confirm your time if you’re on a strict schedule. If you and your group like hiking (in the sand) to the canyon the guided hike tour is for you but it is hard in the heat and some elevation, but we got lucky and it was windy. If not, book the transportation and the experience will be smoother, the extra money is towards the convenience. Also ask what time they follow because there is a time difference so you want to confirm your time slot but also what time it is for them, don’t trust your phone time unless you checked it. Enjoy the hike or drive whatever your doing, the canyons are beautiful but don’t forget it’s about the journey not the destination :)) (especially for this price sheesh)

Great tour for those looking for a cheaper alternative. With the Navajo entrance tickets, it’s under $100 per person. You got a 30-45 minute walk to the canyon, and then walk back. They have water stations along the way. They follow Phoenix Arizona time (MST without daylight, so during summer it’s similar to PDT). Also, be aware the tour times are different then that indicated on your ticket, and you should not show up too early. You have 40 minutes in the canyon. They will rush you through but it’s enough time to take pictures and enjoy the rocks.

My husband and I did the hiking tour of upper antelope canyon through Hogan B&B and our tour guide Neal was phenomenal! He was so informative, helped everyone get their photos, provided tips and recommendations for good angles, and was overall just so kind, charismatic, and a pleasure to experience. He made the tour go from good to spectacular. I’d recommend to family and friends looking for a good adventure!

We did the Antelope Canyon tour with them and we’re glad we did. They are new but if you’d rather experience it on your feet than be bused in this is a great and more affordable option. Since you are hiking there and back, dress appropriately, use SPF, and bring water, all that. Guides are knowledgable and friendly so be sure to chat with them and they will share a lot. Be sure to book in advance and show up when they ask you to as the Canyon is very popular. Everyone there is helpful and friendly just keep in mind you are a guest.

Nous sommes tombes sur eux en roulant en direction de Page. Nous avons reçu un très bon accueil de leur part . Le tarif était en plus un peu plus réduit que ce que nous avions vu sur d autres sites d organisateurs plus gros . Nous avons pu faire le tour quasiment immédiatement et c est diquan qui a été notre tour guide . Il est d une gentillesse immense et nous a tout bien expliqué . Ce fut un plaisir . L excursion de upper vaut le coup d œil sans aucun doute et nous recommandons cette compagnie
