Shaft of Light, Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona

A vibrant shaft of light shines on the floor of a particularly narrow section of Upper Antelope Canyon on Navajo tribal land in Page, Arizona. The Navajo people call the canyon Tsé bighánílíní dóó Hazdistazí, which means "the place where water runs through rocks." The slot canyon is formed primarily by erosion during flash floods; torrents of water race through the canyon and sculpt the sandstone.
