Lower Antelope Canyon
One of the world's well-known slot canyons and a famous photography spot, it is located in the northern part of Arizona, United States. The nearby city is Page, which belongs to the Navajo Reserve. Antelope Canyon is topographically divided into two parts, called Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon. There is no artificial lighting in the Lower Antelope Canyon. All visible light comes from the cracks at the top of the canyon. These rays are repeatedly refracted by the rock texture and enter the bottom of the canyon, producing fantastic and irregular color changes. From shallow to deep, colorful and beautiful.LeChee · 97.9 km from Escalante
Grand Canyon National Park
Grand Canyon National Park is located in the northwestern part of Arizona, USA. It is a massive canyon carved by the Colorado River over millions of years on the Colorado Plateau: the canyon stretches over 400 km, with a vertical drop from the rim to the bottom of nearly two km. The exposed layers of red, orange, and yellow rock on the cliffs resemble an open book of geological history, with the oldest rocks at the bottom dating back approx. 1.8 billion years. The park is divided into two main visiting areas—the South Rim and the North Rim—which face each other across the canyon but require several hrs of driving to travel between them. • Two parks in one: South rim and north rim • The red and yellow rock layers give the Grand Canyon its majestic and extraordinary appearance. The north rim is less developed with far fewer travelers than the south rim, making it more popular among backpackers and camping enthusiasts who prefer tranquility. However, it has higher elevation and is often closed due to heavy snow in winter, typically only open from mid-may to mid-october. Winter travel is mostly limited to the south rim. Additionally, the popular "west rim skywalk" in the travel market is located in the hualapai indian reservation outside the park and is not the same as this area. Be sure to check the itinerary details before booking to avoid going to the wrong place. △ Open year-round, with approx. 90% traveler capacity. It is highly recommended to visit in spring, summer and fall. △ The northern edge of the park has a smaller developed area, accommodating approx. 10% of travelers. It is seasonally open from May 15 to October 15. Compared to other areas, it is more suitable for stay and camping, making it highly popular among adventure backpackers.United States · Coconino County
Upper Antelope Canyon
Antelope canyon is a classic slot canyon, divided into two parts geographically, among which Upper Antelope Canyon is more popular with travelers and a hot spot for photography enthusiasts. To enter Upper Antelope Canyon, you must join an official group tour. The tours are divided into regular tours and photography tours. Photography tours allow you to bring professional equipment like tripods. In addition to the attraction guide, the tour will also point out suitable photo spots. From mid-to-late March to early October on sunny days, around noon, sunlight shines directly from the narrow gap above into the canyon floor. Against the backdrop of suspended dust, the light forms distinct beams. The guide will also toss fine sand to make the beams more visible. However, only photography tours departing around noon have a chance to capture these light beams. That said, the main factor affecting the light effect is the weather. Ideal conditions are clear, haze-free days with good air transparency. Even on sunny days, slight cloud cover or poor air transparency may prevent the light beams from being visible.United States · Coconino County

Lower Antelope Canyon is definitely worth a visit. We were lucky to have a great guide, Joanna from Ken's Tour. Hope I spelled her name correctly. Here's a picture of her. She was very efficient in teaching us how to adjust our camera settings and helped us take photos. For the last photo, she asked everyone what language they spoke and said "seahorse" in Chinese. Joanna took all the particularly good, wallpaper-worthy photos and also offered to take group photos for everyone. A good guide makes this trip even more perfect.

Grand Canyon National Park is a truly spectacular place that leaves you amazed from the moment you arrive. The endless canyon views, dramatic cliffs, and beautifully layered rocks create a landscape unlike anywhere else. Every viewpoint offers a different perspective, especially during sunrise and sunset when the colors become incredibly vibrant. Walking along the rim feels peaceful while surrounded by such immense natural beauty. For adventure lovers, the hiking trails provide an unforgettable way to experience the canyon up close. It is a perfect destination for nature, photography, and exploration. If you could visit, would you choose sunrise or sunset?

Definitely worth seeing! To see the golden sand pillars effect, you need to go during the dry season. We came in late October, and it had rained the previous two days, so the sand was wet and didn't create the desired effect. However, overall, the scenery is stunning. Our guide was a young Navajo native in his late twenties; his English was excellent, and he was quite patient. He even helped us take photos at various points along the way. Thumbs up! 👍👍

Perhaps the service there is always like that, because I didn't really enjoy any service. It was too hot and there wasn't a place to rest. I even swallowed some sand, and there was no water to wash it off. But the scenery was truly beautiful. I think going once is worthwhile, but not going at all wouldn't be a regret. No videos were allowed, so I only have pictures.
