Navajo Upper Antelope Canyon, a slot canyon on Navajo land near Page, Arizona, is photographed on May 4, 2026. The canyon, part of the American Southwest, consists of six separate scenic slot canyon sections on the Navajo Reservation. It was formed by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone due to flash flooding and other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, particularly during the monsoon season, flows into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, gaining speed and sand as it moves through the narrow passageways. Over time, this process eroded the passageways, deepening the corridors and smoothing hard edges to create the characteristic ''flowing'' shapes. (Photo by Thomas O'Neill/NurPhoto)
