Photography Tips
While a tripod would be helpful in some circumstances, they are no longer permitted in Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon or ANY slot canyon tour operated by the Navajo Nation.
Wide-angle lens and tripod recommended (you probably won't need anything longer than 85mm).
It is best in summer when the sun is at its maximum height, so that its rays enter the canyon vertically.
Avoid changing lenses while in the canyon, as the dust that is in the air at all times may reach your camera sensor.

Travel Information
The antelope canyon may only be visited via guided tours by the Navajo tribe.
Although rather expensive i highly recommend going on a "photographer tour" (tripods are not allowed in "normal" tours).
You should definetly book your tickets in advance.
