The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which means "the place where water runs through rocks
Many years ago, herds of Pronghorn Antelope roamed freely in, and around the canyon, which explains the English name.
This incredible canyon has been created over many thousands of years by the relentless forces of water and wind, slowly carving and sculpting the sandstone into forms, textures, and shapes which we observe today.
The views in Upper Antelope Canyon change constantly as the sun moves across the sky,
filtering lights softly across the stone walls. These ever-moving sun angles bounce light back and forth across the narrow canyon walls, creating a dazzling display of color, light, and shadow.
