Located five hours north of Phoenix, Arizona, Antelope Canyon is not as famous as the Grand Canyon, but certainly just as frequently photographed. It is sacred Navajo land and a very spiritual place to visit. However, it is not without its dangers. Dehydration is a real concern in the desert and temperatures can get unbearably high as you explore the canyon. Trust us, you'll want that extra bottle of water!
But losing some fluid isn't the worst of it. Antelope canyon is extremely susceptible to flash flooding, and unfortunately, surviving sometimes comes down to pure luck. In the 90s an entire tour group of people drowned in the lower canyon, due to unpredictable flooding. If you have to see it, make sure you go with an expert Navajo guide in order to minimize the risk to your life.
