The Lower Antelope Canyon is not known for their light beams, since they only occur in a few spots or at different times. Still, you will want to visit the lower canyon. Summer season is the best time to visit. That means, the months of June, July and August are the best.
In addition, the mid-day time slots are the ideal tour times you will want to aim for. These will be between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. for sunny days. During this time, you will have the best shot to catch some of those light beams. If it is cloudy, then no matter what you do, you won’t see those beams.
A word of caution if you are not from the area, we have Monsoon season from June to September. Monsoons for those who haven’t experienced one, are extreme downpours of rain that can cause flooding and damage within a few minutes.
As a matter of fact, these Monsoons can cause dangerous flooding in the canyons. Sadly, this happened in 1997, with 11 people loosing their lives. Proper procedures have been implemented to insure this won’t happen again. During these weather conditions, the Lower Antelope Canyon will close, for safety concerns.
