Antelope Canyon

A unique experience. You will need to take a tour but it’s actually quite enjoyable. Tips for those who want to take photos - most likely RAW won’t be good enough, you’ll need multi-photo HDR to pull it off as the contrast is way too extreme.

Antelope Canyon is a stunning natural wonder sculpted over time by the rushing force of flash floods. Its breathtaking beauty captivates all who visit, with swirling sandstone walls and beams of light dancing through the narrow passages.

Antelope Valley has a real desert charm! I loved the wide-open spaces and the chance to see some amazing wildlife. The night sky was incredible too. Definitely a unique place to explore. I highly recommend this place and best time to visit here is around noon so the sun rays are getting in there.

Antelope Canyon is an absolutely stunning spot, with its vibrant red walls and rays of light cutting through the dusty atmosphere. Located in Page, Arizona, it includes both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon, both of which sit on Navajo land and require a guided tour to explore. We opted for the Lower Antelope Canyon, which has a cool “V” shape. The bottom of the canyon is pretty narrow, while the top opens up wide, giving it a brighter and warmer vibe compared to the upper section. A lot of folks think Lower Antelope Canyon is more exciting, thanks to its tight passageways and the ladders you get to climb. Walking through the twisting walls is a blast, and sometimes you can even slide through the narrow spots. This canyon is also known for its ladders. You’ll start your descent with a series of them, and as you wander through, you’ll encounter several more. People tend to have strong opinions about them—some love them, some not so much. I personally enjoyed the experience; it really made me appreciate just how deep these canyons are. Since it can get pretty busy, it’s a good idea to book your tour ahead of time. We went in the last week of April when the weather was nice, making the hike to the canyon quite pleasant. All in all, this is definitely a must-visit place, and I had a fantastic time!

All photos were taken with an iPhone 14, no filters. You are better off coming to visit Antelope Canyon in the late winter, as crowds gathered in the spring/summer will have you squeezing against other tourists waiting for their million dollar shot. Speaking of million dollar shot, apparently a photo taken by someone fetched for $6.5 million. You must book with a tour group in order to enter, as this park belongs to the Navajo Nation. They’ll tell you the reason why this policy exists is because the park has been vandalized in the past, and some flood in the 80’s wrecked it.

Beautiful spot, incredible colors! Recommending to come at noon for the best photos (you need to book a tour, this is the lower Antelope Canyon)

Absolutely INCREDIBLE! The only bummer is having to go with a stupid tour group. It's difficult to get the pics that you want to take. At no point did the guide let us do what we wanted. We were pretty much rushed through, and it's not very long.

Another great place to visit if in or near Arizona. Really jaw dropping natural site that is really kept and preserved properly. Brandon is the guide you would like to book your tour with. Shows really great sides of the site, takes nice photos and knows camera settings that we might struggle taking nice photos. A must visit place.
