The 16 hour round trip felt like it exceeded the actual value of what we got to see, but it was still a nice day. We got a flat tire and that cut into our morning significantly, we left at 5:30am and didnt make it to our first stop until 1:40pm. After the long day the canyons were nice but the tour itself felt short only 1.5 hours for a 7 hour drive one way. There were too many stops and a lot of confusion on gas, parking, and tire pressure that could have been sorted out before picking us up. The drive back was a little more pleasant but another 5 hours and we had to skip smaller stops because things were closing at sunset. I don't think we had time to only do 2 stops, Antelope Canyon (1.5hr) and Horseshoe Bend (1hr) for a 16 hour trip.
