Over the years, Lower Antelope Canyon has become a favorite place for photographers, tourists, and visitors from around the world. The Navajo name for Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdeztwazi or “Spiral Rock Arches.” Many years ago, herds of Pronghorn Antelope roamed in and around the canyon, which explains the English name. This canyon has been created over many thousands of years by the relentless forces of water and wind, slowly carving and sculpting the sandstone into the forms, textures, and shapes which are seen today. The views in Lower Antelope Canyon change as the sun moves across the sky, filtering light softly across the stone walls. These sun angles bounce light back and forth across the narrow canyon’s walls, creating a display of color, light, and shadow.
