Antelope Canyon: Arizona
This canyon in Page, Arizona, is one of the most awe-inspiring caves in the world. It’s split into “The Crack” and “The Corkscrew.” It was created thousands of years ago by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding.
If you’re looking for the ideal time to see this canyon, summer is your best bet. This is when the natural light hits its walls at just the right angle to create a warm glow across it.
What you should know: This national treasure can only be accessed via guided tours, which can be hiking-intensive, photography-based, or more in-depth, depending on the time of year and flood possibility.
After trekking through the canyon, you can remain absorbed by the remarkable scenery by booking a room at the Lake Powell Resort, where you can take a dinner cruise, boat tour, or even rent a powerboat to explore the area around the resort.
