A tour
you will never ever forget
| About 6 miles from the town of Page you can hike through
Antelope slot canyon that many call "Corkscrew Canyon". The
best time to visit is in the summer on days when the weather
forecast indicates no chance of rain. At around 11am to noon there's a beam of
light that peers down into the slot that offers an incredible photo opportunity. No other time of day offers this
"light shaft", so check with the tour companies to make sure you don't miss
it unique opportunity.
This beautiful canyon is on Indian
land. In the past you could pay the Navajo Nation $10/person and
take your own 4WD vehicle to this tourist site. But not anymore, only
authorized tour companies can take you there now. There
are several 4WD tour shuttles
with narration for
around $30/adult,
$15/kid. There's an assortment of companies
in the town of Page to choose from. Go to the Lake Powell Museum if you don't
see any of these tour companies parked on the main drag through town.
Plan to take
a flashlight, and water. It's about a 200yd. hike through the canyon which
opens up on the other side of the mountain into another sand wash.
There is no climbing required for this tour, you're just walking on flat sand
inside the slot canyon. Picture below show the entrance from the outside
and the inside. For the best photos bring your tripod to accommodate long shutter exposures in
low light conditions.
You won't find Corkscrew Canyon on any map,
it's a well kept secret for those who haven't been there.
But you can see an
aerial satellite view of it right here and it's location if you
CLICK
HERE.
During Summer around noon you can see this beam of light
shine down through the top of this canyon to the sandy floor. Put
the family in this picture and you'll have a true keepsake.
