You will need a camera that works in lower light and for best results you will want a tripod or better yet a monopod as space is tight. I would recommend going to the lower canyon when it first opens in the morning and then crossing the road to visit the upper canyon at noon. The light playing on the curved sandstone shapes is one of the most beautiful sites I have seen. If you can’t take a good picture of Antelope canyon then it is time to sell your camera and start buying postcards.

When I call this a canyon you may get the wrong picture in your mind as this is a slot canyon. The lower canyon is a crack in the ground that you climb down into on ladders. This is not a good place to be in the case of rain as flash flooding is a danger. The upper cannon gets many more visitors. Both the upper and lower canyons (across the road from one another) are national parks but they are national parks of the Navajo nation.
