Antelope Canyon

The entrance to Upper Antelope Canyon in April 2024: a dark, narrow split in a low sandstone cliff at the end of a wide sandy wash, with a tour vehicle parked out front. From here the canyon gives no hint of the color inside. Tours drive visitors up the wash in four-wheel-drive trucks, and you walk straight in at ground level with no stairs or ladders, which is the main reason Upper suits anyone who would rather skip the stairs of Lower.
