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.

Navajo Upper Antelope Canyon, known as Tsé bighánílíní ('the place where water runs through the rocks'), is a slot canyon on Navajo land near Lechee, Arizona. It's part of the Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park and is an iconic spot for hikers and photographers. People come from around the world to take pictures of its stunning, vibrant rock walls, and light beams created by sunlight streaming through the narrow openings above. Upper Antelope Canyon is the most visited due to its ground-level access; it is easily accessible for most tourists. The Navajo name for Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí ('spiral rock arches'). Both canyons are a part of the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation and require a guided tour by Navajo guides to visit.
