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.

Tourists enter Lower Antelope Canyon by stairway near Page, Arizona, on May 3, 2026. Lower Antelope Canyon is a popular, V-shaped slot canyon known for its vibrant colors, narrower passages, and adventurous, stair-heavy hiking path. The canyon is located on Navajo Tribal Land and is only accessible through guided tours operated by authorized Navajo companies. It was formed by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone due to flash flooding, with rainwater running into the extensive basin above the canyon, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time, the passageways eroded away, deepening the corridors and smoothing the hard edges to form flowing shapes.
