Special mention - Antelope Canyon

Hard to believe but the most photogenic place of our trip was Antelope Canyon, hidden in a Navajo reserve in a desolate corner of Arizona. We did the narrower Lower Antelope Canyon, which is said to be the best one but also the least visited one, as it is more difficult to access. I wish it were - there were too many people walking the narrow canyon. Yet, it is a must see!

Not much to expect from above ground, as the canyon is hardly visible from the surface - indeed it is very narrow! And the rays of light making it down illuminate the whole canyon. It's one of the few places that is best visited during the hottest and brightest hours of the day - indeed it is only around midday that the rays make it all the way down. That's when the rocks change colors and the details of the erosion are highlighted. Amazing!
