Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest.[1] It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and Lower Antelope Canyon or The Corkscrew.[2]
The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which means "the place where water runs through rocks." Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí (advertised as "Hasdestwazi"
by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or "spiral rock
arches." Both are located within the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo
Nation.[3]
Antelope Canyon is a popular location for photographers and sightseers, and a source of tourism
business for the Navajo Nation. It has been accessible by permit only
since 1997, when the Navajo Tribe made it a Navajo Tribal Park.
Photography within the canyons is difficult due to the wide exposure range (often 10 EV or more) made by light reflecting off the canyon walls.[4] _
