Morning light carves the canyon. You step from the minivan onto sun-warmed red sand and feel the desert inhale around you—Antelope Canyon’s walls already humming with the day’s first shafts. The tour threads both Lower and Upper Antelope: ladders, narrow slot passages, and chambers where sandstone folds like fabric, then opens to a wind-scoured sky. Later you crest the Horseshoe Bend rim; the Colorado River curves and pulls the eye into its green-blue loop, daring you to linger.
