The ultimate adventure guide
Upper Antelope Canyon is a truly beautiful place.
Tour meeting place just east of the canyon entrance.
The entrance to Upper Antelope is not particularly impressive.
Once inside the entrance, the outer world disappears.
The canyon is mostly level and does not require climbing ladders.
Abstract shapes are everywhere.
Upper Antelope Canyon was formed by flash floods over millions of years.
A few props have been tastefully placed to good effect.
The "heart" formation is always pointed out by the guides.
The light is ever-changing and always amazing.
Even though the canyon is narrow, the high walls make it seem huge.
Time goes fast in the canyon, and it is difficult to leave.
