3. Antelope Canyon
People all over the world have systematically named Antelope Canyon the most stunning canyon in the world. The fames shapes and colors were formed as a result of Navajo sandstone erosion due to flash flooding- which you might not be aware are still experienced today. In 2006, for example, the area was closed to the public for five months due to flash flooding.
Divided into two regions, Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon, or The Crash and The Corkscrew, this is a particularly stunning area you should take your family to. In order to visit the caves, you’ll need to book guided tours, which have been available since 1997. Keep in mind that you’ll experience foot access and path limitations, but make sure to bring a camera along as these are extremely popular spots to snap a few pictures!
If you’re looking for easier access then you should make sure to visit Upper Antelope Canyon. You won’t need to climb anything due to its ease of access at ground level.

Not only interesting, definitely educational. Thank you for sharing.
There is Longhorn Cavern outside of Burnet, Texas that is amazing run by the State of Texas that should be on this list. The colors are amazing. It was used as a hide out by the Comanche indians.
I’ve been to Carlsbad Caverns and Mammoth Cave and enjoyed
both experiences. Carlsbad was interesting to see when the bats
began their excursions to the outside.
