Antelope Canyon (we visited the Upper Antelope Canyon) is what is termed a "slot canyon"; it is one of the most professionally photographed spots in the southwest. This magnificent series of formations have been formed by the seasonal Antelope creek, thunderstorms and wind eroding a cave like area with many holes at the top that let light through. It is on Navajo land, and only accessible with a Navajo guide. We were fortunate to have a guide with a company called Chief Tsosie; probably the best Native American guide group we have encountered; they run an impressive business, with top notch customer service. It was a pleasure to encounter them. Many years ago herds of pronghorn antelope roamed through here. To the Navajo coming into this space is almost like a cathedral; to us it was peaceful, almost spiritual.
At the right time of day, on a clear day, this spot is a favorite for people to have their picture taken.
So many formations where the shadows, light and curves in the rocks produce this.
What can you say?
Marlene enjoyed the canyon.
Some professionals doing their thing.
