Antelope Canyon, United States

The Antelope Canyon is a deep and wide valley between two crooked cliffs or commonly called a canyon. This canyon is in Page, Coconino County, Arizona, United States. The canyon area belongs to the Navajo Indian Reservation complex or the largest shelter area for the Dine Indian Tribe from North America, commonly called Navajo or Navaho, which is unique as follows:

The Antelope Canyon is formed by wind and water that erodes the Navajo Sandstone in a very long time.
Flash floods and sub-aerial processes accelerate the erosion of rocks. As a result, beautiful gaps and faults were formed which were carved indirectly on the canyon wall.

Antelope Canyon is divided into two, the upper Antelope Canyon (The Crack) and the lower Antelope Gorge (The Corkscrew). Each part has a different rock fracture pattern.
Locals call the Upper Antelope Gorge the "Tse 'bighanilini" or place where water flows through rocks.'
The upper Antelope canyon is 4000 feet above the river with a stone wall that rises as high as 120 feet. The lower Antelope canyon is called "Hasdestwazi" or spiral rock.

The Antelope Canyon wall can change the reflection of light from sunlight into various beautiful colors. This is what attracts the attention of tourists both from within and from abroad. Here, tourists usually come to travel, hike or camp to see the canyon directly. In the summer, tourists can see exposure to sunlight breaking through the gaps in the canyon and illuminating the previously dark canyon gap. Local residents call this event "A God speaking from the high".
