The pictures of Antelope Canyon have been seen in the circle of friends of friends who have been to the west of the United States. It has a very unique feeling. The color is orange and yellow, and the landscape is monotonous and changing, full of mystery. Whether this scenic spot is worth visiting is also controversial. I will answer this question based on my own feelings and photos.
The Antelope Canyon is divided into the Upper Antelope Canyon and the Lower Antelope Canyon. I read the Raiders before and said that the Upper Antelope Canyon is more beautiful, the tickets are more expensive, and cannot be booked, and the Lower Antelope Canyon can go at any time, and the ticket is 20 knives per person. We drove to the Antelope Canyon, the road to the Upper Antelope Canyon is on the right hand side, and the road to the Lower Antelope Canyon is on the left hand side. The actual situation is that the tickets for Upper Antelope Canyon are 60 dollars for adults and 30 dollars for children. So we went to the Lower Antelope Canyon again, where there are two different contracting groups (contracted by the Indians) selling tickets, the simpler one is 48 dollars for adults, and no tickets for children under 6 years old. Another is $50 for adults and $25 for children. This is completely different from what you see in the guide. I don’t know if the price has increased due to the peak season.
At this time, the opinions of the friends were divided. Someone asked what to see in Antelope Canyon? I showed them the brief introduction of the ticket office, and they said, oh, it turned out to be a pit, so I didn’t go there . And I have always been attracted by the Antelope Canyon I have seen in the circle of friends, and I still want to go, but in the end, less than half of the people went together.
We chose the Lower Antelope Canyon for $48 per person. After buying the tickets, we can wait for more than ten minutes before we can start. At this time, there will be an Indian performing a folk dance. The weather is hot and he looks very tired. The so-called dance is more The task was completed mechanically, and the spectators waiting to set off seemed to have no enthusiasm. After the dance was over, there was little applause.
I can finally set off. Everyone is only allowed to bring a mobile phone and water. I was still carrying a small bag with a passport, but was suggested by the staff to put it back in the car. The reason is that in the Antelope Canyon, both hands need to be free. . Therefore, it is recommended that the friends who go there should wear clothes with pockets to hold mobile phones, or a small body bag. You don’t need to take water, the whole journey is only 45 minutes.
Every few tourists will be assigned a guide, and they must follow this guide until they come back. Suggest here! You can give the guide a little tip before departure, and the subsequent trip may be more enjoyable and smooth! This is actually mentioned in the guide, but we forgot, and as a result, our guide was very indifferent throughout the whole process .
The total length of the Antelope Canyon is more than 400 meters. The distance between the two sides of the valley top is very narrow, but the vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the valley is as high as tens of meters. The slot canyon is divided into two separate parts, the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon. Upper Antelope Canyon is also known as “The Crack” and Lower Antelope Canyon is called “The Spiral”. The light is entirely natural light refracted into the cave through the gaps in the red rock formations at different depths, so the light is changing all the time, throughout the year, and even at different times of the day, the colors seen from different angles are different. Being in it, it is like entering the cave. A colorful and magical world is created, which is unforgettable for a lifetime. (The above content comes from the Internet).
Followed the tour guide for a section of the sand road, which is actually the top of Antelope Canyon, and then came to the entrance of this “pit” .
We entered the underground world through this staircase. It can be seen from here that the staircase is very steep, and it is really inconvenient to hold a bottle of water in your hand to be safe.
Look at the road at the bottom of the valley, it is so narrow that only one person can pass in many places. Start here and enter the fantasy world!
I don’t know how to express the following pictures in words. The light and shadow, the texture and convexity of the stone, blend together to form a natural picture of various colors, which cannot be achieved by imagination.
This place is my favorite, just a ray of light sprinkled from the ground, combined with the sand sprinkled from the top (also sprinkled on my head and face ), there is a sense of sacredness and solemnity, and it also has a romantic feeling of light dancing. Someone proposes here, it must be a scene that will be remembered for a lifetime.
Touch the textured stone wall, this scene may only be experienced this time in this life.
This seam on the ground is a line of sky that we can see at the bottom of the valley. It is hard to imagine that we just walked through this seam.
The 45-minute Antelope Canyon ended, but I didn’t notice the passage of time at all, as if I didn’t share the same time and space with the ground when I was traveling in the underground world. The cracking of the stone cracks solidifies time into sand, walking through the beautiful space, the beauty can never be late.
Do you still ask me if Antelope Canyon is worth visiting?
