ANTELOPE CANYON
Go there and contact
This canyon 3 m wide, 4 m wide and reaches 30 m deep is a few miles east of Page, on the Navajo reserve. A long distance of 8 km, it is not visible from the surface of the plateau (altitude 1300 m) and only two access points are open to tourists, only on accompanying visits. The guides all practise, in theory, similar prices. Some of them are directly on the site's parking lot. To know that boat tours on Powell Lake allow to approach the canyon by inland waterway. But this is a completely different view of the site.
The most popular visit concerns Upper Antelope Canyon (Hasdestwazi or "spiral rock arch"). Once in the hose, the tower allows to follow the gorge over one kilometre. Its very high walls, swept out for millennia by winds and waters, form hollow and waves, where there are soft or sharp sculptures that filter the sun. The bottom is lined with a very gentle sand. The best time for the visit is at noon, when the sun is on the vertical.
A few hundred metres away, Lower Antelope Canyon (Tse'bighanilini, «the place where water flows through the rocks») is the second access gap to the canyon. Longer and narrower, this area is also more rugged and has to be equipped with metal ladders. The course is also very beautiful.

Members' reviews on ANTELOPE CANYON
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Comme on s'y est pris un peu tard, Les sites upper et lower étaient complets, mais un troisième a été ouvert il y a quelques années : Antelope Canyon X.
Comme le souligne certains autres commentaires, même si la visite est spectaculaire, on peut regretter le rapport prix/temps de la visite.
Pensez à réserver bien avant.
En plus du coût de la visite, il faut s'acquitter du droit d'accès à la réserve indienne. Bilan : c'est assez cher pour une visite de 1h30.
Bémol sur le tarif et sur les visites qui s'effectuent à la queue leu-leu
Ceci dit, nous avons quand même apprécié la visite et pris le temps d'admirer cet endroit fabuleux, notre guide était sympa et nous a donné des bonnes informations
