Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona – The Pinnacle of Slot Canyons

Antelope Slot Canyon in Page, Arizona  

Antelope Canyon is often considered the penultimate slot canyon. It’s broken into two portions: Upper (‘the Crack’) and Lower (‘the Corkscrew’). You can access it by tour or by kayaking into it. We opted for the latter. We rented a kayak from Antelope Point and paddled a few miles to the entrance of (I believe) Upper Antelope Canyon. It was stunning – miles of uninterrupted, martian-like landscape. We saw nearly no one and were free to explore as long as we wanted since we didn’t go with a guided tour. This is a must-see if you’re in this region.
