Antelope Canyon - A "gift" from Nature

Lower Antelope Canyon

I have to "whoa" about Antelope Canyon, which I went to there last year. It is amazing that I think Antelope Canyon is a "gift" from Nature.

From Wikipedia, "Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and 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 (advertised as "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or "spiral rock arches." Both are located within the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation."

Upper Antelope Canyon

Antelope Canyon separate three parts:

• Upper Antelope Canyon

"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 for two reasons. 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 20 and disappear October 7 each year."(Wikipedia)

• Lower Antelope Canyon

"Lower Antelope Canyon, called Hazdistazí, or "spiral rock arches" by the Navajo Indians, are located a few miles 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." (Wikipedia)

• Flash Antelope Canyon

Actually, I just went to Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon. For Flash Antelope Canyon, I couldn't went to there because it is dangerous for normal tourists with the slithery land.

Antelope Canyon is a very natural landscape, and it belongs to Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Therefore, it has traditional and Indian "style" of it.

If you would like go to very natural landscape, I think this is a good choice on your "go-list." 

We are shocked by this amazing scene
