Antelope Canyon April 2018

Page, Arizona offers some beautiful sights to explore by water and on land.  We began our visit with a boat tour on Lake Powell, a reservoir created on the Colorado River by the Glen Canyon Dam.

 Many visitors choose to explore the huge area in houseboats by winding through the canyons from the dam into Lake Powell.

Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon on Navajo land east of Page.  A tour guide of the Navajo Nation escorted us through the canyon and helped us with capturing its beauty with photography.  The tour began with a impressive demonstration of a hoop dance that encouraged us to use our imagination interpreting the dance and sights of the canyon.

 


 We entered the canyon through what appeared to be a big crack in the rocks.

My camera immediately found unusual beauty which ever way I aimed it.

 With the help of our imagination the sunlight traveling through cracks in the canyon and the rock formations became pictures.

                                              a heart?
     

                                     Monument Valley?

                                                 a shark?

 a horse?

 An experience not to be forgotten.
