We are inside the Upper Antelope Canyon, one of wonders of Navajo Nation. Here, there are some words extracted from the official website: The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tse' bighanilini, which means "the place where water runs through rocks." Gently carved from the Navajo sandstone over the course of countless millenniums, the slot canyons are majestic and narrow passages, just enough space for a small group to walk the sandy floor - and for the occasional shafts of sunlight to shine down from above. Though dry most of the year, Antelope Canyon runs, and sometimes floods, with water after rains. It is the water, slowly wearing away the sandstone grain by grain, that has formed the beautiful and graceful curves in the rock. More in http://www.navajonationparks.org/htm/antelopecanyon.htm The canyon is visited exclusively through guided tours and sometimes with too many people, but the place is worth it. Page, Arizona, is located a few minuts away from the slot canyon, and it is quiet and a good place to explore this area. For instance, visiting Horse Shoe bend (panorama) of the Colorado river, or Rainbow Bridge (panorama) a natural arch beside Lake Powell. Flash version of the Antelope Canyon panorama.
