Upper Antelope Canyon at 3 PM was an absolutely magical experience! With only three other groups in the canyon, it felt peaceful and intimate, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking beauty of this natural wonder. The way the sunlight poured through the narrow openings above created dramatic light beams that danced along the sandstone walls. The warm reds, oranges, and golds of the rock glowed brilliantly in the afternoon light, showcasing nature’s artistry at its finest.
The smaller crowd made it easy to move through the canyon at a relaxed pace, giving us plenty of time to take photos and soak in the serenity without feeling rushed. Our guide was fantastic, sharing fascinating insights about the canyon’s history, geology, and Navajo culture while pointing out unique rock formations shaped over millions of years.
The quiet moments, with only the sound of our footsteps and the occasional awe-filled whispers from other visitors, made the experience feel deeply personal and almost spiritual. If you’re planning to visit, aim for a time when it’s less crowded—it truly makes all the difference. Upper Antelope Canyon at this time of day is a sight you’ll never forget!
