Antelope Canyons near Page, Arizona

Page, Arizona is the starting point to go see the Antelope Canyon. This area is in the middle of a Navajo Reservation and it is required to go with a tour group there. A tour cost approximately 32 dollars per person (August 2008). After paying the fees, you will wait for the next pick-up truck that takes you to your destination.

 

The drive to the Antelope Canyons is very bumpy, especially through the sandy desert like landscape. It is also adventurous as the truck gets stuck more than once in the hot sand. The surface of the rock at Antelope Canyon is soft and smooth.

The tour guide explains how water eroded the surface and gave the canyons its final appearance. She also tells stories about the days when these canyons were easily accesable by the general public. But teenagers had parties here and sprayed grafitti onto the canyon walls. Eventually the state took over, sandblasted the grafitti away and made it into a what it is today.

Depending on the time of day, the sun beams its light in different angles into the crevaces of the canyon. Even in the late afternoon hours the colors and soft texture were simply gorgeous to look at.

The tour guide said that 11:30 a.m. is the best time of the day to come to these canyons. Even if that is true, the late afternoon hours were still magnificent.

Each new step takes you deeper into these canyons and you feel so awe inspired at the sight. The play of light from above at some points threw shadows into the crevaces and structure.

Sand from the desert above sprinkled lightly into the canyon and made its way down to the final level.

After going through the Antelope Canyons and back, which seems to take about 20 minutes, you will enter the truck again and be taken back to the office.
