Antilope Canyon, Arizona

 

Antilope Canyon, Arizona, USA

Antelope canyon was shaped by erosion of Navajo Sandstone mainly because of flash flooding and secondarily because of other sub-aerial processes is one of the best places to visit. Rainwater, particularly throughout monsoon season, runs into the intensive basin higher than the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand because it rushes into the narrow passageways actually. Over time the passageways are eroded away, creating the corridors deeper and smoothing onerous edges in such a way on type characteristic 'flowing' shapes within the rock.
