The geological structure is known as red sandstone.
Antelope Canyon is located in the Indian reserve, the natural fantasy beauty is the \"underground paradise\" of tourists, but the paradise needs the lead of Indian guides to enter, which is not only for the needs of natural and cultural protection, but also for the personal safety of tourists. Flash floods often flow into the canyon during the monsoon season, and the rapid flow of flash floods caused by the sudden increase in rainfall and the narrowing of the channel by the narrow channel, the vertical erosion force is relatively greater, creating the corridor at the bottom of Antelope Canyon and the hard smooth, flowing edge of the valley wall.
Antelope Canyon, like other slit canyons, is a soft sandstone formed over millions of years by various forces of erosion. The flash flood caused by heavy rainfall on the plateau is the most important force of surface cutting. The more arid the barren mountains, once the rainstorm, the more amazing the force of flash floods. The extremely dry, hard surface is poorly absorbent, the rain washes along the terrain, and if there are some cracks in the surface, the rushing water and the sand and stone that it carries all the way down are almost indestructible, and over time, it can turn the landscape upside down.
The reason why Yuchha Grand Canyon is compared with the Antelope Valley in the United States is that its geomorphologic characteristics resemble the antelope Valley in northern Arizona, so people call it \"China's antelope Valley\".
Antelope Canyon in the United States is a slit canyon, formed by soft sandstone after millions of years of various erosion forces. The erosion is mainly caused by flash floods, followed by wind erosion.
Antelope Canyon does not belong to Danxia landform.

Danxia landform is widely distributed in China, in addition to China, in Central Europe and Australia and other places, of which China is the most widely distributed.

Danxia landform can be described as \"red layer landform characterized by steep cliff slope\". The red cliff slope is the most important identification factor of Danxia landform, and the cliff slopes of different shapes and volumes are combined into the basic slope of various Danxia landforms, such as fort, wall and column.
Antelope Canyon is divided topographically into two separate sections, called Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon.
