Nestled in the middle of Upper Antelope Canyon, this fabled point of view provides what many feel to be the most breathtaking outlook in the whole canyon system. Here the walls curve and flow in inconceivable directions to provide an amazing show of shadow and light that seems to challenge reality. While shaft of lights penetrate through at exact angles, generating the well-known light beams photographers pursue, the sandstone seems to pour like liquid from above, frozen in time. From deep purples and blues to dazzling oranges and reds, the walls at this point show an amazing spectrum of colours, all shifting with the angle of the sun and time of day. The way several apertures in the canyon ceiling produce a sophisticated interaction of light beams during midday hours makes this location especially amazing. Summertime sees the ideal viewing period between 11 AM and 1:30 PM when sunlight strikes at the ideal angle to produce what photographers refer to as "the light show." Having been polished by innumerable flash floods, the walls here have remarkably smooth textures that provide ideal reflecting surfaces for the light to bounce and play.
