The previous post that covered upper Antelope Canyon, this post covers lower Antelope Canyon. The Lower Antelope Canyon is a self guided tour. I believe there is a fee to enter. There is a 2 hour limit for most people here. But here is a pro-tip: if you can bring your DSLR along and may be a tripod you can request a photographers pass which will let you be in the canyon for any amount of time. Also- its gets cold in there dress in layers.
This canyon is best visited in the summer months when the sun is directly above the canyon. However the canyon is wider at the top and may not get the same rays that the Upper antelope canyon gets. This canyon however is just as beautiful and a lot less crowded. There are some stair and some narrow sections where only one person can pass. The canyon is long and narrow- get out if you see overcast clouds or even at the first sign of even light drizzle.
Here are some pictures of the Lowet Slot Canyon. Below is the entrance to the canyon. It gets much narrower than this as you go deeper inside the canyon. This was shot late afternoon in December.

The canyon colors are dictated by the light that bounces off the walls.

| The steam makes for a great shot. |
At first I was bummed at the thought of all that pollution, thankfully this is just steam coming out of the chimneys. This was shot from the car when it was moving.
