Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon, a deep and very narrow canyon carved by flood waters. As the sun passes over, it creates interesting effects on the canyon's ancient sandstone walls.
Later we visited Marble Canyon, carved by the Colorado River, and spanned by two bridges: the Navajo Bridge (on the right), a National Historic Engineering Landmark and the only bridge across the Colorado River in 600 miles at the time it was built in 1928,...
...and a more recently constructed pedestrian bridge.
TRAVEL TIP:
Spectacular, weird, other-wordly--are you still on planet earth? Looking at those photos of Antelope Canyon, I started to undulate.
ReplyDeleteYes, truly amazing, and all created by rushing debris-filled water. Some points in the canyon are only wide enough for one person to walk through, yet the colors and the textures of the sandstone flood in.
