What to Bring

Water / Sports Drinks
For your trip into the canyon, bring an ample supply of water — 1-liter per person per hour is not unreasonable in hot weather.

Snacks / Food
Bring your favorites. Area restaurants can prepare sack lunches upon request. Common snacks include fruit, trail mix, snack bars and nuts. You may bring a small cooler or lunch bag.

Sunblock / Insect Repellant
Three hours in an open vehicle can burn almost everyone. Most people find it necessary to get the highest rated sunblock they can find, then re-apply the lotion at least once for good protection.

Brimmed Hat / Umbrella
Even with good sunscreen, visitors often get sunburned. If you are susceptible to sunburn, a brimmed hat or umbrella can help. Sunglasses can also help minimize the glare off the white bottom sands. During the summer, we recommend a cooling towel. In cooler temps, bring a warm hat.

Binoculars
General purpose binoculars from small 6x30's to 12x50's will enhance your canyon experience by zooming in on the details on distant walls and ruins. Be advised that the more powerful the magnification, “shaking” will be more amplified. Small roof prism binoculars are available from Walmart at reasonable prices. 8x30 or 7x35 are good general purpose instruments.

Camera & Power banks
Digital cameras require mega-pixel imaging to produce photographs with adequate detail. A zoom lens can help. Often times extra batteries, battery pack and/or power bank is highly recommended.

Light Jacket / Sweater / Rain Coat
During the monsoon, a rain coat is recommended and during cooler temperatures a lap blanket and dressing in layers is suggested.

Cash
You may have the opportunity to purchase jewelry, rugs, and crafts from Diné craftspeople in the canyon. Prices are substantially less than retail-priced items in area stores and gift shops.

For Our Smaller Guests...
Parents of small children and infants need to provide their own infant or child seats that can be secured with a seat belt. Also please bring your own container for soiled diapers (zip-lock bags are recommended).

Restroom facilities
Restroom facilities are available in the canyon. We recommend packing toilet paper/napkins as supplies may run low. There are no handwashing stations, and we recommend packing hand sanitizer.
