Antelope Canyon X [Explore] - a photo on Flickriver

The slot canyons located in Antelope Canyon near Page, Arizona are popular with tourists and photographers alike. Although there are many slot canyons in the area, the Navajo have rightfully limited access to them in order to preserve the ecology, geology, and the lives of the visitors.

One of the newer attractions is Canyon X, which offers "photographer tours" where you can bring a tripod on a dedicated small group outing, which is longer than the typical tourist jaunt through the slots. In 1997, a group of 12 hikers were caught in a flash flood in this particular canyon, and only one person survived. As a result Canyon X was closed for decades before being opened for coordinated tours

As my time here came to an end, our guide, Leo, pointed above the entrance to one half of the slots and said, this is why we call it Canyon X.

Congrats on Explore!
