Not Antelope Canyon

This trip was a little tough for me since I had wanted to visit after seeing so many amazing photographs of the area. However, I do not wish to pay $80 to join hundreds of other people & photographers in a narrow slot canyon all taking the same photo as a tour guide uses a laser pointer to point out the best features all while telling you which camera settings to use. Yes, Antelope Canyon may be the most beautifully famous slot canyon and I do think that they are protecting the area with the tours, but standing in a line with other photographers taking the same exact shot I have learned is not my style. Instead, we opted for a backcountry permit to explore other canyons.
