What a beautiful place. I am actually heading to the Grand Canyon in June so will see if I can make a side trip. Your photos are simply stunning!

THanks for all the comments, and esp. for the wallpaper link Marilyn. They are amazing shots!
Amanda, do you go if you can – well worth the effort (and then don’t forget to share your pictures with us)

Wow! What a neat, tucked-away place! It looks absolutely stunning. It’s amazing the types of places you can find on this planet. Your pictures are fantastic, especially the first one of Upper Antelope Canyon! Definitely makes me want to visit someday.

Very cool. Wish I got to see more of Arizona, but my southwestern trip was more focused on New Mexico. Just another destination to add to the long list.

Glad to recommend this magical place. Maxine, I think the optimal time depends on time of year, but close to midday is going to be best as the canyons are very narrow and it’s only for a few moments that the sun is directly overhead and throws a shaft of light through.
Thanks for your comment, and I hope you get to see the canyons.

This is very timely – I’m just planning my trip here! Interesting that you say it’s not that well known; I’ve always wanted to come here and assumed there would be hordes of tourists. Very glad to hear that’s not the case. What time of day do you think is best to visit, or doesn’t it matter?

Such a beautiful, secretive place. I will definitely plan a side trip on my next Southwest adventure….I’m over due as a matter of fact.

Thanks Jazz! Just a simple cheap digital – I never carry a decent camera (would be too worried about breaking/losing it). The slot canyons are so beautiful it must be impossible not to take amazing pictures.
