Antelope Canyon
Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona, is the most famous slot canyon formation in all the world, and for good reason. Guided tours are required to visit this slot canyon, located on private land within the Navajo Nation. Several authorised tour operators in the area lead groups to the canyon and impart their knowledge about the area’s history and geology. Shaped by millions of years of water and wind erosion, the magnificent canyon was named for the herds of pronghorn antelope that once roamed the area. The Upper Antelope Canyon tour is the more popular route because more sunlight enters the canyon and the walls reach up to 120 feet. The Lower Antelope Canyon tour is equally impressive, immersing visitors in the swirling embrace of sandstone walls.
