Antelope Canyon—Navajo Nation Sandstone Slot Canyon

There is no doubt that the main attraction in the area is the Antelope Canyon. And for good reason! Renowned for its undulating walls and light beams, Antelope Canyon was named after the pronghorn antelopes that once roamed the area in abundance (more numerous than bison). The pronghorns are indigenous to North America, and are more closely related to the giraffe rather than to deer or antelopes. Nowadays, they can still be seen in the American West but their numbers vastly decreased from 100 million to about 13,000.

Recently, I traveled to the small desert town of Page, Arizona, located at the border of Arizona and Utah.

Kingman, Arizona: Heart of Route 66

Published on by Oana Travel (Great Escapetations)Leave a comment

Once a thriving and fast-growing town, Kingman played an important role in the development of Route 66 and the western expansion. Established in the 1800s as a railroad town, Kingman also served as a base for gold seekers in the Black Mountains nearby and as the Gateway to Boulder Dam (Hoover Dam). Although today the town doesn’t exult its olden days’ vibe, it still holds a lot of historic interest.
