Upper Antelope Canyon: Took the 11:00am - 1:00pm photo tour with Antelope Canyon Navajo Tours. This is prime time for the light beams. This company is located directly on the Indian Reservation. There was a $6 fee to enter the reservation and the photo tour was $40/person. On the day we went, they did not limit the number of visitors inside the canyon. However, beginning Friday, May 25, 2012, they will begin to limit the number of visitors inside the canyon and the photo tour price jumps up to $80/person. We had an awesome tour guide, Dale. He knew exactly where the light beams were at what particular time and blocked traffic for us like a boss in that crazy jammed packed place. I think he pissed the other tour guides off so that we'd be able to get good pictures but he was pro at his job. He definitely made it a better experience.

Entrance to Upper Antelope Canyon.
Lower Antelope Canyon: Cost is $20/person. This tour is not as popular because it doesn't have the light beams. Parts of this canyon is more narrow and may require descending and ascending ladders. You don't need to make reservations for this tour.

Horseshoe Bend: Went to Horseshoe Bend to watch the Annular Eclipse. Amazing experience. Clear skies, no cloud in sight, almost directly in the central line of the eclipse track.

People were all along the rim waiting for the eclipse.
Adios, Arizona.
