In general im not a big fan of the grand canyon, i don’t know why but maybe i heard so much about it that by the time i got there it wasn’t that amazing in my eyes. The one thing i do advise you should do as long as you are there is get up real early and go to watch the sunrise – it is really beautiful, make sure to be there like 20-30 minutes before, by the time you will get there you will already see tons of Japanese  tourists with their bombastic cameras, so make sure to be there early enough to find a spot.

This is probably one of the most beautiful canyon (or slot canyon)  you will ever see, since it is so unique.  this is a very narrow canyon all walls were shaped by wind and you can actually see it on the amazing orange walls of the canyon. Around noon, when sun is just above, there are some great lightning for some photography opportunities.

Antelope Canyon is on the Navajo reservation / highway 98.

On highway #89, you will see an unpaved dirt road right next to a small brown sign – so basically this is a really easy location to miss, but try not to .  Once driving this road you will get to a parking area and you will have to walk for  about a mile or so to get to the viewpoint you will then see  the Colorado river taking a sharp U turn right below where you are standing. When I was there the sun was not in the greatest angle for photo taking (see below) but still, it was amazing.
