Antelope Canyon

Southwest USA, northern Arizona, between the city of Page and a large coal power plant, 240 km from the Grand Colorado Canyon.

Description:

Antelope Canyon got its name due to the red-red walls, resembling the skin of an animal. The bizarre relief of the canyon is filled during the day with light pouring from the numerous crevices. For several centuries, water and wind were carved in the red sandstone of the depression. Rare torrential rains flood the canyon, washing away the upper layer of sand - thus, the water forms an internal amazing relief of rocks.

Antelope Canyon lies on the lands of the Navajo tribe and belongs to the Indians of this tribe. To get there, you need to pay a fee for passage through Indian territory.

Favorite place for photographers: Surprisingly, the colors and bizarre patterns of rocks in the pictures look more colorful and fantastic than they really are.
