To visit the canyon you have to book your tickets in advance online. You have to check in before you can start the tour, so best arrive at least 15 minutes early. The entry to the canyon is a bit further away, so everyone will form a convoy and drive slowly in their own car to the entry. Any normal car will handle the unpaved road, but it will get dirty ;)
You will have to leave any bags (also camera bags) in the car. I guess it's to preserve the walls from damages.
It is true that you don't have all the time in the world, but enough to enjoy and photograph the rock formations. To me it did not feel rushed. Our guide offered to take pictures of us and answered all our questions.

Antelope Canyon is one of the most photographed areas in the southwestern United States and is located near Lake Powell on the Navajo Nation Reservation in Lake Powell Tribal Park. Most of the time, the canyon is dry and accessible. When rainfall is forecast, entry to the canyon is prohibited due to the risk of flash floods. In 1997, eleven tourists died in Lower Antelope Canyon during such a flash flood - which is completely unspectacular outside the canyon. The canyon can only be accessed on a guided tour for a fee. We walk through the canyon with a Navajo guide. Since the canyon is on the Navajo reservation, an additional fee is charged to enter the reservation. Transport to the canyon is provided as part of the tour by off-road vehicle. The Lower Canyon is reached via a short footpath.

Not so well known like Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon but equally beautiful. Can only be visited with tour guide. Not as crowded as the more famous parts, but also here the tour is rushed and you will have to leave much to early to really be able to let the beauty sink in.
