Slot Canyon Texture, Upper Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona

The walls of a particularly narrow passage of Upper Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona, take on different colors based on how much direct sunlight they receive. Sections near the slot canyon ceiling appear yellow and gold, while portions in deep shadow are purple. Violent flash floods sculpt the sandstone, leaving undulating, layered walls. The Navajo people call the canyon Tsé bighánílíní dóó Hazdistazí, which means "the place where water runs through rocks."
