To experience Antelope Canyon, you have to shuffle into a shop, then wait around for a bit, board a bus, sit jam-packed against sweaty travelers, and drive onto the Rez. You might wonder if your bus will get stuck in soft sand on your rough approach in the middle of nowhere. I only had one bottle of water, and I wondered how far I’d get in the scorching heat. We didn’t get stuck and parked in a long line of other buses before a boring mesa with one dark crease up the middle. Well, we knew the inside was spectacular, so we disembarked, only to have to wait for a dozen other groups of tourists to filter through the crack. Somehow, the Native American guides time it so you can take photos unimpeded by human interlopers, even though there must be 100 people in the slot canyon at any given time. And it isn’t that long! It is certainly narrow. And most certainly, absolutely spectacular. Follow my lens…
