This video is quite misleading. It was taken from the highway that runs between Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons. There is NOT an epic slot canyon lurking under the water in the video. Lower Antelope is 1/3 mile downstream, Upper Antelope is 3 miles upstream.

Had the cameraman ventured downstream a little ways, I'm sure the sight would have been very impressive. Certainly not something to mess with.

Maybe not an "epic slot canyon", but there definitely is a slot canyon under the highway.

True.

However, Antelope Canyons are the most famous slot canyons on the planet. I wouldn't label my video with the name "Antelope Canyon" if neither of the famous canyons were actually in my video.

I hoped to see one of the famous canyons exploding with water, like from the description of the flash back in 1997. But, nooooo. Instead, we get a shot of a flashing wash that looks like any other random flash flood, seen everywhere in Arizona.

I'll give it a 2 out of 10 on the interesting scale. :coffee:
