		The Grand Canyon is a colorful, steep-sided gorge, carved by the Colorado River, in northern Arizona.
		The canyon is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and is largely contained in the Grand Canyon National Park—one of the first national parks in the United States.
		The canyon, created by the Colorado River cutting a channel over millions of years, is about 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 6 to 29 kilometers (4 to 18 miles) and attains a depth of more than 1 mile (1.6 km).

	Slot Canyons of the American Southwest - Antelope Canyon, near Page, Arizona
		Antelope Canyon is located near Page on Navajo Nation land - just outside the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area - close to AZ 98 a few miles east of town (at milepost 299).
		Both may be approached from AZ 98; the Upper canyon (also known as Corkscrew Canyon) is reached at the end of a very sandy 2 mile 4WD track south of the road near milepost 299, and it is this part which is usually visited.
		Lower Antelope Canyon is between AZ 98 and the lake, and is reached by a short track northwards leading to a parking area from where the guided tours depart.

		During the tourist season, permits are sold at the Antelope Canyon Unit booth at Upper Antelope, and by the Young family at Lower Antelope.

	Slot canyon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A slot canyon is a narrow canyon, formed by the wear of water rushing through sandstone.
		Occasionally, the only light entering the canyon is through very narrow openings at the top.
		In most slot canyons, the water and wind of 100–200 million years of windstorms and floods have cut the sandstone in such a way that its striations can appear almost incandescent.
