Antelope Canyon
United States of America · Arizona · 1300 m
Description
Antelope Canyon is one of the most famous slot canyons in the American Southwest, located near the city of Page in northern Arizona on Navajo Nation land. It is renowned for its narrow, wave-like sandstone walls, whose vivid shades of red, orange, and gold are dramatically enhanced by the changing light. Its best-known sections include Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon, both celebrated for their extraordinary rock formations and striking natural beauty. Together with nearby Horseshoe Bend and the landscapes surrounding Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon lies at the heart of one of the most spectacular regions of the American Southwest.
