Slot canyons have always held a special place in my heart.  Years ago I visited Upper Antelope Canyon, arguably one of the most amazing examples on Earth. Today I ventured into Lower Antelope Canyon which is every bit as amazing.  Overcast skies made for less than optimal lighting but every now and then the sun would find a hole in the clouds and the canyon would glow.

Pictured below is what the canyon looks like from the top.  Many sections are so narrow that only one person can pass at a time.

I emerged from the canyon just before noon and checked the weather to determine my next destination.  The Grand Canyon South Rim looked clear so I made a beeline for the park hoping to arrive in time for some decent evening light. My effort was rewarded and I made the best of the 2 hours I had to work with.
