In the North-East of Arizona, there are two amazing natural sites. Next to Page, don’t miss the stunning Antelope Canyon and its extraordinary red walls polished by erosion, while Monument Valley at the border with Utah is one of the most famous images of the United States. I visited the Lower Antelope Canyon at noon so you’ll notice that my pictures are much brighter than the ones from the Upper Antelope Canyon: good to know for photographers.
