     Antelope Canyon is a fabulous place. It is made of 2 parts, the beautiful Upper Antelope Canyon, and the Lower Antelope Canyon. There are many tours for the canyon. Antelope Canyon is very awesome.

     Upper Antelope Canyon is made of many naturally-carved curves. It is the best at roughly noon. Some light shafts peek through the top of the rocks. These are best seen during the summer months. Other places are much darker. The stone “heart of Antelope Canyon” can be found in a relatively dark area of this canyon. Upper Antelope Canyon is wonderful.

     Lower Antelope Canyon is also very stunning. It has less light shafts than the Upper Antelope Canyon. Several flights of stairs need to be climbed to reach the entrance of the canyon. It’s shaped like a “V”, and lighting is the best in early and late morning. It is just like the Upper Antelope Canyon in every other way. Lower Antelope Canyon is very lovely.

     The tours going in and out of the canyons are sadly, the only way to get to the canyons. The Upper Antelope Canyon is much more popular than the Lower Antelope Canyon, especially during noon. I also prefer Upper Antelope Canyon much more. All tour guide can throw sand into a light shaft and the light creates something very pretty. The tours are very nice.



     Antelope Canyon is great. The Upper Antelope Canyon is very majestic. The Lower Antelope Canyon is very unique. The many tours of the canyon are excellent. This place should definitely be visited many times!
