Shafts of Light

I've seen may pictures of the slot canyons in northern Arizona but when I experienced them for the first time I was awestruck.  A definite big WOW.  The way the light bounced off the walls and when shafts of light drifted down through the narrow slots you couldn't help but have your breath taken away.  A truly spectacular sight.

Abstract in Stone

The weather worn slots in the Antelope Canyon area outside of Page, Arizona are spectacular.  As the light changes so does the effect and colors of the various layers of sandstone that formed these narrow slot canyons.

Slot Canyon

Created by erosion, the slot canyons outside Page, Arizona are an amazing site.  And easy walk into a maze of narrow canyons, you'll be fascinated at the colors and shapes that have been carved over the years.

More of Slot Canyon

If you ever get to Page, Arizona, make a point to visit the Antelope Canyons just outside town.  They're on Navajo land and are some of the most spectacular weathered formations I've seen.  Yes, so is the Grand Canyon, but these hidden "slot canyons" are almost impossible to find if you didn't know where they are and one of those unique pieces of the landscape that'll blow your mind.  The narrow canyons, carved into the earth, are sometimes only as wide as a person and upwards of 100 feet high.  Take the photography tour if you want to get some great shots.

More Slot Cnyons

Everywhere you turn, there are colors, undulating forms, shadows and sunlight.  Antelope "Slot" Canyons on Navajo land outside of Page, Arizona, is like walking into another world.  It's ethereal and surreal.  Unlike anything most of us ever come across.  These weather worn, extremely narrow canyons, really show you the beauty in nature.

Antelope Canyon

Outside Page, Arizona are some hidden slot canyons.  What's a slot canyon?  It's an extremely narrow "slot" in the earth, created by millenium of erosion.  Sometimes they are so narrow you can barely pass through.  At the right time of day the sun streams in, creating shafts of light that are magnificient.
