Hey now, howdy, and welcome to Lower Antelope Canyon, near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon is one of the most beautiful, & most heavily photographed slot canyons on the planet. It is a petrified sand dune, with multi-hued sandstone walls that swirl, undulate & captivate. It is a magnificent example of mother nature, and the combined efforts of water, wind & time. Antelope Canyon is on Navajo land about 10 minutes from downtown Page. It is also a sacred place, as this was the site of a tragic flash flood in Aug, 1997, which took the lives of 11 tourists who were trapped by a wall of water on that fateful day. I had an emotional encounter with a couple from France as I was coming out of the Canyon: They were heading towards the entrance, and I pointed the way, but they said no, we can't go in, and I asked them why. It turned out that one of the victims of the flood was a friend that they had grown up with in the same town, and they came to pay their respects. It was too emotional for them to enter. I told them I understood, and described the canyon a bit, then we hugged & I went on. An unexpected & powerful moment.Namaste. So, please come in & check out Lower Antelope, and see the poetry & magic that mother nature has created..it is truly awesome.
