The Wind's Portal acts as a striking portal to the underground marvel right at Lower Antelope Canyon's entrance. From this vantage point, erosion—where decades of flash floods and wind have sculpted a small, spiral-like entry into the red sandstone—showcases its force. Here the walls reveal diverse striations that reflect the geological history of the area, with strata of rock displaying various sediment deposition times. Early morning hours, when the sun creates lengthy shadows stressing the texture and depth of the granite formations, provide especially amazing illumination at this location. From this point, visitors can see the canyon narrows drastically, building excitement for what lies ahead. From this vantage point, photographers may capture the depth of the canyon as well as the sky above, therefore producing arresting compositions that draw attention to the contrast between the wide desert above and the enigmatic depths below.
