Arizona, Utah and Nevada photo shoot

Upper Antelope Canyon

This past weekend I had the pleasure to go to Arizona, Utah and Nevada to shoot some photos for my stock collection. I started with the slot canyons of the "Upper Antelope Canyons" in Page, Arizona. This area is located on Novajo Indian Land, so it is required that you make reservations with the various Navajo tours that are responsible for access to the canyon. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon.

These are some shots from the Upper Antelope Canyon

I recommend using Antelope Slot Canyon tours located at 55 S. Lake Powell Blvd; Page, AZ 86040 (928) 645-5594. Let them know if you plan to take photos and book there ealiest photography tour to avoid the crowds. We practically had the canyon to ourselves until noon when the crowds showed up and I had to have my wife stop them from entering the photographs.

Horseshoe Bend 

Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near Page, Arizona. It is located five miles (8.7 km) downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam, about four miles or 6 km southwest of Page. Accessible via a ½-mile (0.8 km) hike from US Route 89, it can be viewed from the steep cliff above. According to Google terrain maps, the overlook is 4,200 feet above sea level and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet above sea level making it a breathtaking 1,000 foot drop.
