Antelope Canyon
by Paula Radmall
  Antelope
Canyon is the most popular and the most visited place in the LeChee district
of the Navajo Nation, near Page, Arizona. Although the LeChee district
hosts a number of slot canyons, the Antelope Canyon slots--Upper Antelope
and Lower Antelope--is by far the most popular. People from around the
globe love to visit this beautiful place, and capture amazing scenes in
their cameras!
Upper Antelope, also known
as The Corkscrew, isn't as long and deep as many other slot canyons, but
it is amazingly beautiful. It is also one of the easiest slot canyons to
visit, because you can drive right up to the entrance and the ground is
even and leveled. During summer--tourist season in the slot canyon--you
are need to be cooperative and patient and helpful to others in order to
enjoy the time, because it is overcrowded and is sometimes frustrating.
 On
the other hand, Lower Antelope is a long, deep, and more challenging slot
canyon--entry is through a slit in the rocks, uneven and rocky ground.
Only the first third of the slot canyon is open for tourists, and is the
easiest to travel. Other two sections, i.e., the middle and the last sections,
are more rugged with sharp drop offs, and require serious rope work. You
must take care while in the slot canyon, and never go in if there are predictions
for rain in the region, as it will be very risky.
Hiking and camping is allowed
only through a valid permit, as the Antelope Canyon lies under the Navajo
lands. A separate permit is required for entry into Upper Antelope Canyon
and Lower Antelope Canyon; this permit has to be purchased from the Antelope
Canyon Unit Office. You will need to keep copy to keep alongwith you during
the visit.
You will have to pay a nominal
fee to get a permit for hiking--$5 per person per day. An additional amount
of $2.50 per person per night will be charged for permitted camping; however,
it is restricted to some specified areas. Sometimes, during a particular
period of the year, you are required to be accompanied by a licensed tour
guide, which is an additional cost.
While planning a trip to
Antelope Canyon, you must be aware of the weather conditions, because if
the weather is stormy you will not be permitted to enter due to the danger
of flood.
