Phoenix • Photographers will have to throw away their shot at snapping photos of the globally recognized Upper Antelope Canyon in Arizona.
Tour operators of the slot canyon, known for its red-orange sandstone walls, on the Navajo Nation announced last week that photo-only tours will cease, The Arizona Republic reported.
Antelope Canyon Tours, which is owned by members of the Navajo tribe, announced the decision on its website. The photographer-only tours have led to long wait times as professional shutterbugs try to get that picture-perfect shot. Visitors with cellphones and cameras on the regular tours can still take photos.
