Antelope Canyon is simply amazing. I have seen plenty of desert canyons, but nothing to compare to this. I must add, though, that the Navajo Tribe, though doing a fabulous job preserving the site, does not aptly prepare those wanting to see the canyon. It is steep, narrow, descending approximately 100 stairs, and they what goes down must come up. 😀 There were some elderly people that had a heck of a time on this tour and those with claustrophobia would would be mindlessly screaming from time to time. Our tour guide a young man of 17 did jokingly describe a “heftier” person getting stuffed in one of the passages and needed assistance to escape. Phew, with that I held in my stomach!! :whistle

Words can not describe this unbelievable canyon. Called a slot canyon, because it is formed by the wear of water rushing through rock, a slot canyon is significantly deeper than it is wide. There have been several flash floods that have helped further the development. In fact one such flood took the lives of eleven tourists in 1997. I believe my first question upon entering the canyon was regarding the current weather conditions…:red
