Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona, United States, North America
Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and Lower Antelope Canyon or The Corkscrew. The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which means the place where water runs through rocks. Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí or spiral rock arches. Both are located within the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation. Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways are eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic 'flowing' shapes in the rock. Flooding in the canyon still occurs. A flood occurred on October 30, 2006 that lasted 36 hours, and caused the Tribal Park Authorities to close Lower Antelope Canyon for five months. Antelope Canyon is a popular location for photographers and sightseers, and a source of tourism business for the Navajo Nation. It has been accessible by permit only since 1997, when the Navajo Tribe made it a Navajo Tribal Park. Photography within the canyons is difficult due to the wide exposure range (often 10 EV or more) made by light reflecting off the canyon walls. Upper Antelope Canyon is called Tsé bighánílíní, the place where water runs through rocks by the Navajo. It is the most frequently visited by tourists, due to two considerations. First, its entrance and entire length are at ground level, requiring no climbing. Second, beams (shafts of direct sunlight radiating down from openings in the top of the canyon) are much more common in Upper than in Lower. Beams occur most often in the summer months, as they require the sun to be high in the sky. Winter colors are a little more muted like the photo displayed here. Summer months provide two types of lighting. Light beams start to peek into the canyon March 15 and disappear October 7 each year. Lower Antelope Canyon, called Hazdistazí, or spiral rock arches by the Navajo, is located a few kilometers away. Prior to the installation of metal stairways, visiting the canyon required climbing along pre-installed ladders in certain areas. Even following the installation of stairways, it is a more difficult hike than Upper Antelope it is longer, narrower in spots, and even footing is not available in all areas. At the end, the climb out requires several flights of stairs. Despite these limitations, Lower Antelope Canyon draws a considerable number of photographers, though casual sightseers are much less common there than in Upper. The lower canyon is in the shape of a V and shallower than the Upper Antelope. Lighting is better in the early hours and late afternoon. Antelope Canyon is visited exclusively through guided tours, in part because rains during monsoon season can quickly flood the canyon. Rain does not have to fall on or near the Antelope Canyon slots for flash floods to whip through, as rain falling dozens of miles away 'upstream' of the canyons can funnel into them with little prior notice. On August 12, 1997, eleven tourists, including seven from France, one from the United Kingdom, one from Sweden and two from the United States, were killed in Lower Antelope Canyon by a flash flood. Very little rain fell at the site that day, but an earlier thunderstorm had dumped a large amount of water into the canyon basin, seven miles upstream. The lone survivor of the flood was tour guide Francisco Poncho Quintana, who had prior swift-water training. At the time, the ladder system consisted of amateur-built wood ladders that were swept away by the flash flood. Today, ladder systems have been bolted in place, and deployable cargo nets are installed at the top of the canyon. At the fee booth, a NOAA Weather Radio from the National Weather Service and an alarm horn are stationed. The road to Antelope Canyon is gated by the Navajo Nation and entry is restricted to guided tours led by authorized tour guides. Tours can be purchased in nearby Page, and range from $30 to $80 per person, depending on the time of the day and length of the tour.

This is a glimpse of what it is like to walk through Lower Antelope Canyon. Even though it is very popular and crowded it is worth a look. These trips, either Upper or Lower are short and fun.

Antelope Canyon, (Upper), Arizona, Page, USA by a1VIDEO®
Our trip was named Antelope ring. One of places from our long way was to this amazing place in a heart of Arizona on Navajo Land. Antelope Canyon the best place ever!

Antelope Canyon, Page Arizona USA
We discovered another natural wonder.
When we arrived in Page Arizona we did not know what we would find here. The only activity we heard of was to visit Antelope Canyon. We did and were very glad we did. There is an upper canyon tour and a lower. Both are magnificent. I recommend that you take the 11:30 AM upper canyon photographer's tour since that is the best time, and the only way to get enough time and space to really enjoy it. You will have to make a reservation as they are booked out two months. The lower tour is best at 10:30 AM, is in small groups and leisurely. A must see.

ANTELOPE CANYON - Arizona - Treasure of SouthWest
ANTELOPE CANYON – Arizona – Treasure of Southwest
There are many slot canyons in Southwest of United States – but there is only one Antelope Canyon. Situated East of Page right on the boarder of Arizona and Utah Antelope Canyon became lately one of the major tourist attraction of the whole Southwest area.
Slot canyons - which are subterranean structure often of fantastic shapes formed by millenniums of water erosion - are generally very dangerous places for hiking because their unpredictability and hidden danger. During sudden rainstorm they become traps for water running across otherwise arid landscape surface. That’s exactly what has happened in Antelope Canyon in the end of 1990 when group of 11 tourist drowned in the canyon which was rapidly filled by flash flood from sudden storm.
Antelope Canyon which have two section Upper and Lower Canyon – later being much deeper – could be as deep as 30 meters in places, yet very narrow with section as narrow that one has to go sideways. I have heart that during the flash flood water can raise more than 2 feet per minute. Taking consideration to the fact that canyon is 1,600 meters long there is little chance to survive if one is in the middle of the canyon during the storm. Well if you are planning to visit the canyon just check the Weather Forecast. After the tragedy in ‘90 canyon will be closed anyway.
However tragedy in ‘90 was exceptional case and today Antelope Canyon became tourist centre where one need if not early reservation at least a lots of patient waiting in the line of cars and busses for hours. That’s exactly what you can see in some of the movie from Antelope Canyon posted on YouTube.
I visited Antelope canyon five times in past 15 years at the times when one could walk alone though the canyon and admire amazing sculpturing of rock by water.
Antelope Canyon is really one of the treasures of Southwest and as such shouldn’t be omitted from travel schedule of anybody keen to see all of the beauty of this spectacular area of United States.
Enjoy
