Horseshoe Bend Antelope Canyon

Great location for a gorgeous photoshoot. I also did some hiking in the area.. I mean… why not while you’re there!

Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona. It is on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon was formed by water running through sandstone, which has eroded over time to create this beautiful canyon. The walls are made up of Navajo Sandstone which was deposited in an ancient sea; the sandstone is almost pure silica and makes up some of the most photogenic geology found anywhere on Earth. A few hundred yards downstream from where it enters the canyon, a tributary enters from the right forming a side canyon; this tributary eventually becomes the Little Colorado River. .Some consider Antelope Canyon to be one of the most spectacular places on earth.

Hiking to Horseshoe Bend will involve a lot of heat that only cools slightly in the evening, so make sure you bring plenty of water for this part of your day tour. You will experience more the earlier you leave your current location. If you have not already booked a tour to visit Antelope Canyon, you will need to do so once you arrive.

The canyon can be seen in the episode “Buried Treasure” of the Discovery Channel show “Mountain Men“.
