Located on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona, it consists of two separate, scenic slot canyon sections referred to as Upper Antelope Canyon (or The Crack) and Lower Antelope Canyon (or The Corkscrew). This geological marvel has been formed over millions of years by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and other sub-aerial processes. Photography within these canyons is particularly challenging due to the wide exposure range caused by areas of bright light and deep shadow. The slot canyon has evolved into a favored destination for photographers and tourists alike, drawn by its sublime beauty and the shifting rays of sunlight that make each visit uniquely spectacular.
