Несколько столетий в красном песчанике вода и ветер вытачивали углубления, которые достигли уже сотни метров. Обычно каньон пересохший. Рыжие стены напоминают шкуру антилопы, отсюда и происходит его название. В период ливней, который бывают не каждый год, каньон полностью затапливает вода. Стекая по стенкам, она сформировала необычный рельеф в скалах.

Some centuries in red sandstone water and a wind turned deepenings which reached already one hundred meters. Usually the canyon which dried up. Red walls remind a skin of an antelope, from here and there is its name. In the period of heavy rains which happen not every year, the canyon is flooded completely by water. Flowing down on walls, it created an unusual relief in rocks.
This sight doesn't belong to national parks of the USA therefore its popularity is conceded a little to the Great Canyon and a canyon by Bryce. The territory of the Canyon of the Antelope belongs to Indians of a tribe of the Navajo who collect duty through pass on the earth.
Usually allocate two excursion directions — the top and lower canyons. They are especially popular among photographers. For visit it is best of all to choose spring and fall. Sunshine in these seasons reach a canyon bottom. The visitors observing it at this time, compare the gorge to the dark palace in which the owner switched on bright light. In the winter in a canyon insufficiently light-, and photographing is possible only in the presence of additional lighting. The climate in the winter soft, usually temperature doesn't decrease below 0th °C, and summer in these regions hot and dry.
The canyon of the Antelope isn't really adapted for tourists. Here even the metal ladders established many years ago inspire not at once trust. For safety it is possible to come into the gorge only in the presence of the conductor. Especially strictly this rule works during a season of rains when water can imperceptibly, but very quickly completely flood the underground palace. Visit of these places during a thunder-storm is strictly forbidden. The canyon of the Antelope got to our ten the most beautiful canyons in the world.
