AZ/UT Road Trip Day 2 – Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend & Lake Powell

Our next stop was at Antelope Canyon. Page, Arizona is home to some of the most spectacular geological marvels you’ll ever see. Upper Antelope Canyon is possibly the most famous slot canyon on the planet, and the most-photographed slot canyon in the world. This canyon is a special work of art created by nature. A maze of curving walls with incredible colors was formed mainly by erosion of the sandstone caused by flash flooding.

AZ/UT Road Trip Day 2 – Grand Canyon Sunrise

For the second day of our Arizona/Utah road trip, we planned to see the sunrise over the Grand Canyon, drive to our hotel on Lake Powell, visit Antelope Canyon, and catch the sunset at Horseshoe Bend. This post I dedicated completely to the Grand Canyon sunrise. The Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend visit will be depicted in a separate post. The sunrise was absolutely beautiful; it was an unforgettable experience. This is one of my favorite shots. We were near Yavapai Point at the Grand Canyon South Rim. The sun just came up and changed the canyon colors drastically.
