Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA, 29th October 2014.

In the morning we had a visit to Antelope Canyon, in Navajo land, near Page, Arizona, accompanied by a Navajo giude.

.

Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon and there are quite a few of these in this region, though many may be difficult to access.  They are narrow winding canyons, sculpted by water.

.

Flash floods are a potential issue as the flood water may come from many kilometres away.  Eleven tourists died in the lower canyon during as flash flood in 1997.  We were in the upper canyon and safety measures have improved but the issue remains.
