Memorial Day Travel - Part 3, Lower Antelope Canyon

We finally arrived at Lower Antelope Canyon around noon. Many people were waiting in a long line to purchase tour tickets, which were $28 per person. We got the 1 p.m. tour tickets, and we still had time until the tour begins. That's why we decided to grab a quick lunch in Page, which is the closest city from Antelope Canyon. It took 10 minutes to go to Page, and we bought sandwiches at Subway. We came back there just in time! (We were glad to have eaten lunch before the tour begins because the tour was two hours long, and we needed to hike a long distance!)

The tour began! Our tour group of about 20 people followed the tour guide man and headed toward the entrance of the Antelope Canyon. As you can imagine from the photos, it was a super hot day!

We climbed down the pretty narrow ladders to enter the canyon. The inside of the canyon was very crowded with so many people. Because of that, the lines of people moved very slowly.

The views through the canyon were spectacular! The curves and shapes of the walls are magnificent! I was amazed at how beautiful the shapes of inside of the canyon were.

We walked through very narrow passageway.

The tour guide man told us the best places for pictures!

We were really tired from hiking for two hours there, but it was really worth it. Then, we headed toward the Colorado River. I'll write about it next time.

I updated my Youtube video which I recorded that day.
