Antelope Canyon<\/a> is a slot canyon<\/a> near Page, Arizona. I recently spent a day there shooting the upper canyon (there are two slot canyons, “upper” and “lower”) and had a blast. We had Antelope Canyon<\/a> virtually to ourselves (a small group of five) for several hours.<\/p>\n

Slot canyons<\/a> are formed when water and wind erode a cut through a (usually sandstone<\/a>) mesa, producing a very narrow passage that may be as slim as a few feet and a hundred feet or more in height. The Upper Antelope Slot Canyon<\/a> is likely the world’s most well-known slot canyon<\/a>, having appearing in films, television commercials and thousands of published photographs. The sandstone striations, wildly curving walls, ethereal light and tortured twisting passages that characterize Upper Antelope Canyon<\/a> draw visitors and photographers year round, to the point that the canyon becomes jammed with people in the hot hot hot summertime.<\/p>\n

Normally the Antelope Canyon slot canyons<\/a> are dry and sandy, but flash floods form suddenly, transforming the slot canyon in minutes into a roiling, water-filled trap in rainy weather. Tragically, in 1997 a flash flood in the lower Antelope Canyon slot canyon killed eleven people of a party of twelve. Both the upper and less-visited lower slot canyons in Antelope Canyon are accessible only through permit and are located on LaChee Navajo tribal lands near Page, Arizona.<\/p>\n
