Antelope Canyon Tours As Part Of Multi-Park Tours

He’s always best to have a backup plan just in case things don’t go the way you expected them to. Even during well planned tours of the areas that have been two-word by hundreds of thousands of other people, we sometimes have to make other plans in order to not waste people’s time. This is the case with antelope canyon, a region outside of page Arizona that is famous for its absolutely spectacular and breathtaking views. Unlike other protected spaces or national Parks, the views that we are discussing are not of the landscape and instead are inside of a deep slot canyon that was created by the rushing waters of flash floods over many thousands of years. The ground in this area is made from sandstone which is a soft material, and as flash flooding waters rush over it and we see an exaggerated version of erosion happening in real time. The canyon itself is quite deep and the walls have been sculpted by the water in a way that almost resembles water itself. They are multicolored ranging from reds to browns, and in many places are quite smooth to the touch. This shows you the unbelievable power of the water that happens during a flash flood, and even though this is a beautiful scene is also quite dangerous. Every year thousands of people flocked to antelope canyon, especially between March 20 and October 7 when the spectacular light beams are able to be seen in the area known as the crack. This is a specific trail that is completely flattened does not involve any scrambling or climbing, and presents the light beams from the ceiling down to the floor of the canyon during these times of year. Savvy tourists will photograph these phenomenon by throwing sand into the light beam as the picture is being taken. What you must realize is that even though this area has been explored by many millions of people over the years and safety equipment has been installed in order to assure that no one is injured or killed, flash flooding still presents a very real risk and is in danger of anyone in the canyon. For this reason, Navajo nation who operates an overseas the canyon has their own weather service so as to be able to predict whether in the region that may not be visible from the canyon itself. If this potential problem does present itself, the canyon is shut down for tours until the weather presents no ability for flash floods to happen. This creates a situation every time that inclement weather is a possibility, where people of driven all the way from places like Las Vegas in order to tour antelope canyon and are left without the ability. Professional tour companies always work in alternatives in case this situation presents itself, possibly tour in other areas in the region were other national Parks that can be accessed through only a short alternative drive.
