The height of the canyon and the huge angle through which the water flows through form this wonderful panoramic view of Horseshoe Bay. The dark green river flows quietly in this atmosphere, adding to the shock of the picture.

The heart-wrenching scene of Horseshoe Bay cannot retreat in Yun Luo's mind for a long time, but another attraction today, Antelope Canyon, is also a destination that Yun Luo is looking forward to.

I remember that when I was a child, there was a long orange scroll hanging horizontally in my parents' bedroom. The orange scroll was sometimes dark and sometimes bright, and the lines were sometimes up and sometimes down, just like a piece of silk hanging by the soft wind, showing off her delicateness charmingly. Later, I came to the United States to find out that this was the Antelope Canyon in Arizona.

These patterns and colors are all in the shape of the rock inner wall in the canyon, so this time Yunluo is particularly looking forward to truly feeling this gentle canyon. From Matiwan, return north along Highway 89, walk not far away and turn right into Highway 98. On this highway, you can see the sign of Antelope Valley after driving for a few minutes.

Antelope Valley is actually a crack between huge rocks, with upper and lower divisions. Utelope Valley is famous for seeing the light column of light shining directly into the valley at noon. Lower Antelope Valley has attracted many tourists with its own beauty. Yunluo even saw many travel notes saying that Lower Antelope Valley is actually much more spectacular than Utelope Valley.

Yunluo has seen many photos of the light column before, but he still thinks that the Lower Antelope Valley may be what Yunluo really likes, so Yunluo drove straight to it. But today, when he arrived at the entrance of the Lower Antelope Valley, a big "clo color d" sign was posted on the door.

The staff inside said that because there was a thunderstorm yesterday, there was water inside the canyon that could not be visited, so I was sorry to ask Yunluo to come and have a look tomorrow, so Yunluo had to return without success.

It was already noon at this time, and the light columns of Upper Antelope Valley no longer appeared. Moreover, the fatigue of insufficient sleep made Yunluo a little tired, so Yunluo simply gave up his visit plan and returned to the hotel to sleep.

I returned to Kanab yesterday to make up for my sleep and regained my energy to continue exploring the beauty of the page town today. Fortunately, Yunluo arranged the itinerary for activities around Kanab relatively loosely, otherwise many plans would be destroyed due to the closure of antelope valley.

Yunluo pushed the next Sion National Park and Bryce Canyon Park to the afternoon and tomorrow, and the Antelope Canyon that did not go to yesterday became the number one task today.

Antelope Valley would like to talk about the lottery draw in Wave Valley that disappointed Yunluo. Yunluo came to the kanab Visitor Center on time at 9 o'clock today to participate in the lottery draw. Although there were a little fewer people today than yesterday, I still had the opportunity to pass by Yunluo - one of the numbers that won the lottery was only one number away from Yunluo!

So Wave Valley completely withdrew from Yunluo's itinerary for this trip and was not destined to Yunluo. This also gave Yunluo a reason to come to Kanab again next time. In order to see this world-famous geological wonder, Yunluo will definitely draw lots again!

After leaving the visitor center, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu went straight to the Antelope Valley. Unfortunately, Xialinguo was still closed. However, when Yunluo and Yan Chenyu left the page yesterday, they booked the tickets for the group at 12 noon in the Upper Antelope Valley, so at least Yunluo and Yan Chenyu can see it.

The large area of ​​Antelope Valley is under the jurisdiction of the Indians. They enclose their own territory and collect tickets. They are not soft-hearted at all. They have to charge for 40 US dollars for an hour and a half of sightseeing, which makes Yun Luo feel distressed. Moreover, all tourists have to be brought together by them in a group, and one person cannot enter Antelope Valley by himself.

Many rules set by the Indians restricted Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's travel, but there was no way. When you arrive at someone's territory, you have to follow their rules. In yesterday's travel notes, Yunluo mentioned that the light column of the upper antelope valley is the biggest selling point that attracts tourists.

The so-called light column is the dazzling white light that shone directly into the canyon at noon. The group that sets off at 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock, and 1 o'clock every day can catch up with the light column. It will be dark in the afternoon, so most tourists coming to the Antelope Valley come at noon, and the long convoy squeezes the parking lot of the Utelope Valley to the point of water.

Yunluo also lined up for a long time before finally stopping the car and reporting to the small tent next to him. There were two dark-skinned Indian women in the small tent responsible for collecting tickets and gathering tourists.

When it was almost 12 o'clock, the Indians arranged all the tourists into the rear tents of several modified off-road pickup trucks. Yun Luo was lucky enough to be arranged into the front row and sat side by side with the driver.

This pickup truck took Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu through a muddy and bumpy dirt road and stopped in front of the Antelope Valley. The Upper Antelope Valley is actually a gap between two giant stones, which is sometimes narrow and sometimes wide. When it is narrow, only one person can walk by, and ten people can stand at the same time in a wide area.

The door of the canyon is relatively wide. Once you are in it, you will be deeply attracted by the patterns and colors on the surrounding stone walls. The canyon wall is like the color of the dried orange peel, vicissitudes but not lost in brightness, spectacular but not detailed.

This is a canyon washed out by wind and water. Any folds on the stone walls are like footprints left by wind and water, reminding people of the long history of this canyon.

Slowly walking into the canyon, the space became smaller and smaller, and there were more and more people. When we were about to reach the middle of the canyon, we saw the so-called beam of light. The sunlight shone straight through a small hole at the top of the canyon, forming a white beam of light. In order to allow Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu to better appreciate the beam of light, the Indian administrator inside also specially prepared fine sand to throw it into the air.

Let these sands reflect more sunlight, making the light column more obvious and brighter. But to be honest, Yun Luo did not think that this light column was as spectacular as the legendary one. Instead, the bright but not bright lights randomly sprinkled into the canyon are more charming and charming, making the canyon faintly appear and the color changes are richer. But then again, only during this period when you can see the light column is the most beautiful in Antelope Valley.

Once it is afternoon and you can’t even see the light column, other places in the canyon will be dark and there will be no vitality. Therefore, even if you don’t want to see the light column, even if you feel a little disappointed when you see the light column, it is definitely a good choice to visit this time at noon.
