STANDING EVEN JUST 10 FEET AWAY, YOU MIGHT NEVER NOTICE THAT SUCH A STUNNING PLACE EXISTS BELOW THE HORIZON LINE. WINDING DOWN STEEP FLIGHTS OF STAIRS, YOU ENTER INTO A WORLD ALL ITS OWN.
AS YOU NAVIGATE THROUGH THE CANYONS, YOU ARE MET WITH BEAMS OF LIGHT SNEAKING THROUGH THE OFTEN NARROW SLOTS. THE SUNLIGHT ABOVE YOU SEEMS TO DANCE ALONG THE SANDSTONE AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH THIS QUARTER MILE STRETCH OF SLOT CANYONS. OTHERWORLDLY IN ITS BEAUTY, ANTELOPE CANYON IS A SYMPHONY OF TEXTURES AND COLORS. THE TALL SANDSTONE-CARVED WALLS SEEM TO CASCADE OVER YOU FRAMING OUT THE SKY LIKE A JAMES TURREL ART INSTALLATION.
DOZENS OF FEET BELOW GROUND, YOU ARE VIVIDLY AWARE OF THE MARRIAGE BETWEEN THE GROUND AND THE SKY. I ONCE CAME ACROSS A QUOTE THAT READ, "IT IS HARD TO SAY WHETHER WE LIVE ON THE TOP OF THE GROUND OR THE BOTTOM OF THE SKY." THIS QUOTE WAS NEVER MORE TRUE THEN WALKING THROUGH THE SLOTS OF ANTELOPE CANYON.
