Antelope Canyon Arizona

Where: Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona When: November 2017 Have you ever wondered where the Microsoft background stock images come from? Well turns out one of them is from this amazing canyon in the middle of Arizona. Located just outside the town of Page, AZ in a real "blink and you'll miss it" location is the magnificent Antelope Canyon. I had been wanting to visit it here for many many years but had never travelled that far east on my trips to Arizona. Lucky for me I had a couple of days spare after visiting the Grand Canyon South Rim that we decided to make a pit stop to explore this natural wonder. I couldn't believe how many other were doing the same thing. The line up to enter that canyon was long and we waited a good hour to get down in to the floor of the canyon itself (it is single person ladders to enter which is why it took so long) but once we were in it was absolutely breath taking. Despite the number of people visiting we didn't feel cramped or rushed. I tried to get that particular Microsoft background image photo but after taking the images above I had to put the camera away and just enjoy the beauty of this place in full. Not through a camera lens. A lot of the people we passed while exploring the canyon seemed to be glued to the cameras trying to get that perfect shot. If i can recommend one thing when visiting here, take a photo or 2 at the start then just enjoy being there. It is a very magical place. #gooutside #naturalwonders
