The famous canyon in Page, Arizona is the Antelope Canyon. It is one of the most photographed canyons in the world and is known for its stunning beauty. Antelope Canyon consists of two separate slot canyon sections known as Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon. It was formed by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes.

Upper Antelope Canyon is the more popular of the two canyons, and is known for its light beams which occur during the summer months when the sun is directly overhead. It is 120 feet deep and the canyon walls are about 3-4 feet apart. The colors at Upper Antelope Canyon vary depending on the time of day and the season. The best time to visit Upper Antelope Canyon is between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.

Lower Antelope Canyon is longer than Upper Antelope Canyon, and its walls are at a steeper angle. It was opened to the public in 1991 and is 300 feet long. The canyon is also deeper, with the walls reaching up to 120 feet. The best time to visit Lower Antelope Canyon is during the summertime, between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
