2. **The Wind's Portal**
The Wind's Portal serves as a striking entrance to the underground marvel of Lower Antelope Canyon. This viewpoint showcases the power of erosion, where centuries of flash floods and wind have carved a spiral-like opening into the red sandstone. The walls here reveal distinct striations, each layer representing different periods of sediment deposition. Early morning light is especially captivating, as the sun casts long shadows that emphasize the texture and depth of the rock formations. From this vantage point, visitors can see the canyon narrowing dramatically, building anticipation for what lies ahead. Photographers can capture the depth of the canyon and the sky above, creating striking compositions that highlight the contrast between the expansive desert above and the mysterious depths below.
