5Antelope Canyon, Arizona
Located in the heart of the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona, Antelope Canyon is one of the most photogenic natural wonders in the U.S. This narrow slot canyon, formed by centuries of water erosion, features smooth, wave-like walls in rich shades of red and orange. The interplay of light and shadows creates a magical atmosphere, especially when sunlight filters through the narrow openings, casting beams of light onto the canyon floor. Guided tours through the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon allow visitors to experience this otherworldly beauty up close.
