Lower Antelope Canyon offers a more adventurous experience with narrower passages and features beautifully carved walls and stunning sand stone formations.

Lower is particularly famous for its beautifully carved walls and stunning stand stone formations. It requires walking down 5 flights of steep and narrow metal staircases with hand rails to enter, and several smaller sets of stairs through the canyon.
