Sand and Stone

Time stands still for no one and no thing.  It is almost inconceivable to imagine what this landscape looked like eons ago and the forces of nature that carved this unique horseshoe shaped bend in the Colorado River.  One thousand feet below the edge of the cliff the Colorado river continues to etch this vista deep in the Navajo Sandstone Plateau.

Not to be overshadowed by Horseshoe Bend, the nearby Antelope Slot Canyon holds it’s own captivating spell on visitors.  A guided tour through the narrow sandstone canyon walls by the native Navajo Nation gives you an inkling of the powerful affects of the water that regularly floods the canyon on it’s way to Lake Powell.

Horseshoe Bend is absolutely breathtaking and Antelope Slot Canyon is a unique look at the artistic sculptures of sand and stone over time.  Neither should be missed and both are certainly ideal photographic opportunities for all.
