Antelope Canyon

On May 18, as I previously posted about, I went to Page. I drove past the dam and through town to Lower Antelope Canyon. I got a photo pass and started down with a tour group.

This is the entrance. A narrow slot begins in the wash. You step down into it, and where it really drops is a ladder/stair.

Four or five other photographers hung back with our tripods, while the tour group went on ahead.

It was an amazing place.

But it started to rain, so they ushered us out.

This is looking down the canyon from the stairs that go back up.

Fortunately, since I was only down there an hour, so they comped me another hour if I wanted to come back. So after visiting the Dam and Horseshoe Bend, I did.

What amazing photographs! You certainly couldn't navigate those if you were afraid of narrow places.

Incredibly gorgeous. It's hard to believe stuff like that actually exists in nature.

Wow. The place really lends itself to artistic photos, doesn't it? It looks like a pottery exhibit!
Is access only by tour group?

Wow, Kevin. I was going to pick my favorites but it's too much like picking favorite Beatles songs: they're all too amazingly good.
