I started researching Upper Antelope Canyon vs Lower Antelope Canyon (Hazdistazí in Navajo) and learned that apparently Upper Antelope Canyon gets way too crowded. I think a while later, my friend Sarah shared a photo of her visit to Antelope Canyon, and I realized, “wow! people actually go there! I want to do it too!” Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon? I think I must have seen a photo a number of years back of a narrow canyon with smooth yet gnarled, orange and purple striated sandstone walls that ended in abrupt jagged corners and a beam of volumetric light from above illuminating a small space on the ground. And not only that, but there are two separate Antelope Canyons?! Researching Antelope Canyon was kind of funny to me, because I thought to myself, “wow, this place really exists!” Funny because it seemed to be a mystical place not from this planet. This post contains photos from my trip with a guided tour from Ken’s Tours that I experienced with my dad. When you start looking up information about visiting Antelope Canyon, one of the first things that you will discover is there is an Upper and Lower portion of the slot canyon.
