There's a Lower Canyon (it's underground, and you have to squeeze down through rather narrow 'slots' on chicken ladders - I'm not saying this is for those with claustrophobia) and the Upper Canyon, which we visited this time. They are unique, fascinating, and beautiful❗️

They're located on Navajo territory, and the Native Americans now charge a lot for entry 💵

There's a rumor circulating online that you have to reserve tickets weeks in advance (maybe that's true for the very best midday time with perfect light - but then it costs twice as much, namely $80, plus an extra $8 for the guide). We didn't reserve, were there at 9:30, and still got tickets for 10:00 😊

We visited Lower Antelope Canyon in 2009, and I couldn't say which is more appealing; each has its own charm! I've included a photo (the last one) ~ here you can clearly see how narrow the entrance is!

In the summer months you can watch the famous sun rays in the canyon at lunchtime. Unfortunately, the demand for the guided tours is very high, so you should book as early as possible. The country belongs to the Navajos and you can only get to these fantastic sandstone formations of the Upper Antelope Canyon with the help of an open jeep.

A few miles east of the Navajo Indian Reservation lies the most photographed canyon in northern Arizona.

Over the course of a few thousand years, a narrow gap has formed between the mountains.

The "Antelope Canyon" was first discovered in 1931 by a young Navajo girl.

The Upper Antelope Canyon is 400 meters long and 130 meters deep.

To visit this place, you must book a tour with an official Navajo guide.
