Antelope
Canyon
Antelope Canyon is a ‘slot
canyon’, a narrow canyon formed by the wear of water rushing through the
rock. Generally slot canyons are deeper
than they are across. Some measure less
than 3 feet across at the top but drop more than 100 feet to the floor of the
canyon. The canyons are located on
Navajo land and tours are available for the Upper Canyon and the Lower
Canyon. It is difficult to get reservations
as this is a very popular tourist attraction for anyone visiting the Page
Arizona area. That being said, we had
trouble too! We managed to get a
reservation for the Upper Canyon for a 2PM tour. Not the best time of day for a tour as the
best times are in the morning or the early evening, those tours are booked
months in advance!
So the day we went was a
beautiful day which gave some light to the canyon. It was brighter at the beginning of the canyon and you'll notice the difference in the photos as we went deeper in to the canyon. It was also very crowded as all tours are
filled to capacity. So, taking photos
was a challenge. I found when I got back
to my computer and downloaded the photos I had some very interesting shapes,
swirls and colors. They certainly are
not the typical photos you may have seen of the slot canyons!! Hope you enjoy them though.
More coming soon 😊
