It has been on Kent’s bucket list a few years now to see Antelope Canyon.  We have seen some spectacular pictures and want to see the real thing.  The slot canyon is on Navajo land and access is by guided tour only, not our typical way to see great works of nature.  Today is the day.  Step one, load up onto bench seats in the back of a pickup and bounce along a dry wash for 15 minutes or soIt is early so still cool and we are a smallish group, 10 total, rather than the 14 in many of the trucks.  Not a bad ride, then here we are.  There are rows of tour trucks and vans.  How on earth do they manage this many people through this little canyon?  Our guide, Craig gathers us together and chats ‘til our turn to enter.  From the outside the canyon is really not very impressive, just a dark, narrow-topped opening in a dull brown rock face.  Just a couple feet in and we are surrounded by multicolored, swirling patterns in smooth stone.  I took a ton of pictures.  None do it justice.  With each step the view changes with more or less light and wider or narrower pathways.   We didn’t get the noon time tour that is known for its spectacular sunlight beam down through the chamber but our guide did great pointing out cool views and perspectives and taking pics for us all.  Go if you can.  It is a unique and wonderous experience.  They really handled the multitudes very well.
