Introduction
Antelope Canyon is a space ravine in the American Southwest. It is found on Navajo land close Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon incorporates two different, photogenic space ravine areas, alluded to independently as Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and Lower Antelope Canyon or The Corkscrew.
The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which signifies "the spot where water goes through rocks." Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí (promoted as "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or "winding rock curves." Both are placed inside the Lechee Chapter of the Navajo Nation.
Geology
Antelope Canyon was shaped by disintegration of Navajo Sandstone, principally because of blaze flooding and optionally because of other sub-aeronautical procedures. Rainwater, particularly amid storm season, runs into the broad bowl over the opening gorch segments, getting speed and sand as it surges into the thin ways. About whether the paths dissolved away, making the hallways deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a route as to structure trademark "flowing" shapes in the rock.
Flooding in the gorch still happens. A surge happened on October 30, 2006 that kept going 36 hours, and brought on the Tribal Park Powers to close Lower Antelope Canyon for five months.
Geography
Antelope Canyon is a prominent area for picture takers and tourists, and a wellspring of tourism business for the Navajo Country. Private visit organizations have been allowed to offer visits since 1987, it has been open by visit just since 1997, when the Navajo Tribe made it a Navajo Tribal Park. Photography inside the canyon is troublesome because of the wide presentation range (regularly 10 EV or more) made by light reflecting off the ravine walls.
Upper Antelope Canyon
Upper Antelope Canyon is called Tsé bighánílíní, "the spot where water goes through rocks" by the Navajo. It is the most as often as possible went by vacationers for two reasons. Initially, its doorway and whole length are at ground level, obliging no climbing. Second, bars (shafts of immediate daylight transmitting down from openings in the highest point of the canyon) are a great deal more regular in Upper than in Lower. Bars happen regularly in the mid year months, as they oblige the sun to be high in the sky. Winter colors are somewhat more quieted like the photograph showed here. Summer months give two sorts of lighting. Light shafts begin to look into the gulch Walk 20 and vanish October 7 every year.
Lower Antelope Canyon
Lower Antelope Canyon, called Hazdistazí, or "winding rock curves" by the Navajo, is placed a couple of kilometers away. Preceding the establishment of metal stairways, going to the canyon obliged moving along preinstalled stepping stools in specific ranges. Actually after the establishment of stairways, it is a more troublesome climb than Upper Antelope it is longer, narrower in spots, and actually balance is not accessible in all zones. At the end, the move out obliges a few flights of stairs.
In spite of these limits, Lower Antelope Canyon draws a respectable number of picture takers, however cool tourists are a great deal less regular there than in Upper. (No more the case)
The lower canyon is fit as a fiddle of a "V" and shallower than the Upper Antelope. Lighting is better in the early hours and late afternoon.
