Every corner of the slot canyon is a photographer's dream
Lower Antelope Canyon is a photographer's dream. Every corner of the slot canyon is an opportunity to capture texture, light, and color. Located in Arizona, Antelope Canyon feeds into Lake Powell which is one of the sites that Glen Canyon Conservancy supports. Nick and I actually approached this slot canyon from Lake Powell on a kayaking trip as well.
Lower Antelope Canyon is absolutely stunning. In the morning and early afternoon the sunlight filters in through the slot canyon painting colors on the wall and lighting the sandy floor. This canyon includes a view iconic sites such as the Lion's Head. This rock formation gets its name from, you guessed it, looking like a lion's head!
Trekking inside of Lower Antelope Canyon is only accessible via guided tour. These trips last about 45 minutes to go about .25 miles. Although the trip is short, it is well worth it. Be sure to pack your camera. You'll be able to take beautiful shot after beautiful shot.
Slot canyons are significantly deeper than they are wide. They are typically susceptible to flash flooding, and there doesn't need to be a storm nearby. The water can flow from miles up the slot canyon and can overtake you in an instant. Always be careful when exploring slot canyons. Antelope Canyon varies from two to three feet wide at the narrowest to about 50 feet wide at the widest.
Slot canyons are prone to flash flooding. Explore safely!
