Last week, I took a trip with one of my best friends to Nevada, Utah and Arizona to see some of the beautiful sights (and maybe a concert in Las Vegas!). One of the highlights was Antelope Canyon which are canyons formed by the flowing of water in a rock. What makes them so special is that they’re very deep but rather narrow, with sunlight peeking in. In Arizona, the sun lights up the sandstone so incredibly, it looks like heavenly! From May-ish to November-ish, there are beautiful sun beams that make it even more beautiful but we decided to visit in February to avoid the heat and the sights were just as majestic.
In Antelope Canyon, there are two major attractions:
I did a lot of reading on Google Maps and on various blogs and decided to visit Lower in the morning (9am) and Upper in the afternoon (3pm). Of the two, Lower Antelope Canyon was my favorite, but I’ll let you decide for yourself based on the pictures:
Lower Antelope Canyon was my favorite as the tour groups were much smaller, so it didn’t feel like a tourist attraction. Plus, it didn’t hurt that the lighting was more stunning first thing in the morning!
Now, any post by me isn’t complete without a few jumping pictures, right?
Thank you, @JustinAlex . I didn’t edit these photos actually but when I do edit images, it’s usually a bit of re-touching on Snapseed so that it looks as vivid/bright as I saw it originally.
The tour guides in here recommend setting your Pixel to Cloudy or iPhones to warm vivid.
This post reminded me the film ‘127 hours’. @TraciC thanks for sharing the beautiful views of Canyon. Four days before I also tried to capture jumping photos but I found it difficult as every time I forget to bent the legs.
I can’t wait visiting that place. Also, now i have read the reviews in maps. Very good reviews and also seen yours.
At first, I was in a bit doubt, whether that photos were created using any graphics. But , after seeing those photos in the maps, I understood it’s a Goo given lineage like place.
Wawoow, It’s a Beautiful adventure @TraciC Ma’am, When you sharing the pictures with Instagram, I enjoy it very much. Thanks a Lot! for sharing with us.
