Antelope Canyon Foto Safari!

One of the highlights of the trip I took back to the Western Hemisphere for the 2011-2012 holidays was our Foto Safari of Upper Antelope Canyon. This very unique and picturesque slot canyon is located in Page, Arizona and right on the border with Utah. Here is a link to the locatioin on Google Maps. Its aprox 5hr away from Las Vegas, Nevada (We started in Las Vegas and did a 10day road trip of some of the National Parks). The canyon has formed over thousands of years by the erosion of the soft sandstone rock during the rainy season.

Here is an example of a photo I am sure you have at some point seen. This pictures are taken during the summer when the sun is directly overhead and the sunlight pierces into the canyon. The fine sand from the canyon floor is thrown into the air and the sand reflects the sunlight.

We visited in the winter so the sun was low in the sky, nonetheless the place is spectacular.

Hope you enjoy the pictures, and if you do, don't be shy and leave a comment at the bottom. You don't have to register or anything, but do leave your name. ;)
