Antelope Canyons

Today we walked through Upper Antelope Canyon in the morning on a tour, and while it was udder madness with the number of people in such a small area, we were told this was very much still the low season - can't even imagine July & August in there.  Regardless, it's an experience we would heartily recommend everyone enjoy (once).  It is truly beautiful - hence the reason for so very many people.

Lower Antelope Canyon was much more laid back, dramatically fewer people, and much longer.  The result was a more pleasant experience.

On to the pics

Upper Antelope is famous for light beams


A sand-fall in in Upper - They occur naturally when it's windy above the canyon.  This was simulated from the guide throwing sand up on the ledge.

We went out to Lower Antelope in the afternoon after having lunch.  A very different set of colors.

Depending on the angle of light, it ranged from bright yellow, to brown shown here, to rich purple in the shade.


Here you can see the purple combined with the bright yellow


Terrific lines and shades
