Ancient Oceans deposited this layered sedimentation of red sand, hundreds of millions of years ago. Once solidified the formation of the Rocky Mountains lifted up this area called the Colorado Plateau. That was around 50 million years ago! Since then the erosive forces of nature have been at work. Creating the art of the Southwest!
Located in lower Antelope Canyon this natural arch was one of my favorite encounters and only on this one occasion did I find it glowing when I entered and passed through. It was wonderful and inspiring at the same time.
