Itinerary description
Antelope Canyon is a popular location for photographers and sightseers. It has been accessible by permit only since 1997, when the Navajo Tribe made it a Navajo Tribal Park. Beams or shafts of direct sunlight radiate down from openings in the top of the canyon. These beams are more common in the summer months when the sun is higher in the sky. The winter months bring different colors on the canyon walls.
Antelope Canyon is visited exclusively through guided tours, in part because rains during monsoon season can quickly flood the canyon but mainly to make easy money from tourists: pay the tour that lasts half than expected, get rushed inside the canyon and pay also the Navajo permit fee.
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.
Visitors get to experience narrow slots and ladder access into some of the sandstone carved shoots and holes formed by the force of runoff into the Antelope Wash from the mesas above.
