The most important reason for coming to Page, Arizona was the hopes to hike Antelope Canyon. We had seen pictures of this amazing slot canyon from other RV'ers and found it hard to believe their pictures were real. The pic's below were all taken with our I Phone. Amazing !!!! To tour Upper or Lower Antelope Canyons you must enter Navajo Nation Tribal Land and there you will need to take an Indian Guide. Our Lower Antelope Tour (Ken's Tour) was $28 each; for 1 1/2 hours, it was excellent value. Lower Antelope Canyon is also known in Navajo language as "Spiral Rock Arches". By using a series of very steep stairs and ladders you will descend into the canyon. The canyons were formed by erosion of Navajo sandstone over years of flash floods. Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic 'flowing' shapes in the rock. This place is one of the 7 wonders of the world; to us! One word describes the incredible beauty and spiritual feeling of this canyon: ethereal .
