ANTELOPE CANYON



It has been two years since the first time I have visited this place, and I am always awed by this natural masterpiece!

Antelope Canyon is a stunning slot canyon in northern Arizona, known for its narrow passageways and dramatic, flowing rock formations. It’s divided into two sections, Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon, both famous for their vibrant colors and unique light effects. The canyon is located on Navajo land, and access is only allowed through guided tours.



Antelope Canyon is primarily made of sandstone, formed over millions of years by erosion caused by flash flooding and wind. Water carved narrow passageways through the soft rock, creating the canyon’s smooth, flowing shapes and intricate patterns. The process continues today as the canyon walls are gradually shaped and sculpted by the elements.



The texture of Antelope Canyon is like liquid stone frozen in time—smooth, rippling walls that flow in elegant curves, as if sculpted by a master artist. The sandstone feels almost velvety to the touch, with undulating waves that ripple across the rock, creating a sense of movement frozen in place. Every surface is alive with intricate details, from delicate striations to deeper grooves that catch the light. The interplay of shadows and light accentuates its soft, almost tactile contours, giving the walls a surreal, otherworldly texture that seems to breathe with the rhythm of the earth itself.

  1. Guided Tours Only: Access to both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon is only allowed through guided tours, as it is located on Navajo land. Be sure to book a tour in advance.
  2. Best Time for Photos: For the iconic light beams in Upper Antelope Canyon, visit between late morning and early afternoon (10 AM to 1 PM), when sunlight filters through the narrow openings and creates stunning beams of light.

  3. Two Sections: The canyon is divided into Upper Antelope Canyon, known for its wider openings and light beams, and Lower Antelope Canyon, which is narrower and requires more climbing but offers a more adventurous experience.

  4. Weather Sensitivity: The canyon is prone to flash floods, especially during monsoon season (July to September). Tours are often canceled if there's a risk of flooding, so be sure to check weather conditions before your trip.

  5. Wear Comfortable Shoes: The terrain can be uneven and slippery, especially in Lower Antelope Canyon, so wear sturdy, comfortable footwear suitable for climbing and walking on rocky surfaces.




When walking through Antelope Canyon, you’ll typically be about 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 meters) deep below the surface. The canyon is narrow and winding, with towering walls that rise significantly higher than the ground you walk on. The depth varies depending on the section of the canyon and the specific path you take, but overall, it’s a relatively shallow but visually dramatic landscape.

The cost of an Antelope Canyon tour typically ranges from $50 to $80 per person, depending on the section and the tour operator.
