We moved to Page, Arizona, today. I was able to arrange to visit Antelope Canyon, a narrow slot canyon on Navajo land. The slot is about 1/4 mile long and 150 feet deep. Flood waters have sculpted the inside of the slot into fantastic shapes which take on various colors depending on the angle of the sun's illumination where the slot opens to the surface.
It is necessary to obtain permission from the Navajo Nation before entering Antelope Canyon. The canyon is too dangerous to visit without a guide, because of the ever-present danger of flash floods.
Here are some of the pictures I took while walking through the slot.

The Navajo see animal images in the sculpted walls
The photographer must not be standing in the right place |
