| No apologies for the amount of photos on this blog as this place is mind blowing and it's all natural light nothing artificial, total nature at it's best......... Antelope Upper and Lower Canyons are a few miles east of Page on the Navajo Reservation: thousands of years of wind and water scoured a narrow crevice in the mesa to form the 2 slot canyons... Visitors must go with a licensed guide, the entrance is reached from the main road by 4 miles of 4 x 4 along the dry (most of the time and today) wash, an experience in itself as our driver and tour guide, Vivian, didn't know slow !!! |
 |
| This is the first amazing sight..... |
 |
| The colours and swirls of the water erosion on the sandstone are fantastic..... |
 |
| When the floods come through the water can be up to 35 foot deep creating over time this amazing canyon.... |
 |
| The upper canyon is a quarter mile long and 130 ft deep.... |
 |
| Needless to say a selection of the hundreds of photos taken will eventually be on the wall at The Gables..... |
 |
| The canyon was "first" discovered by a young Navajo girl herding sheep..... |
 |
| Vivian was a great guide helping us all set up our cameras to get the best shots from this superb slot canyon... |
 |
| It's a an easy stroll through the canyon as fairly level with no rocks to climb..... you do have to return back through the canyon as no exit to the wash at the other end, this does mean a bit of congestion at times especially with the tripod guys and the Japanese !! But having said that we'd do it again tomorrow at the drop of a hat...... |
 |
| What an amazing experience.......this as I've said before is a few days late being posted. The shutdown continues and there is no sign of it getting sorted for at least a week so the tourists and general population suffer but that's governments for you they don't give a d****m ! |
