On the contrary, and for what I see the camera can be saved with a cleaning, so there is no big loss. But I think that people going there to take pics should be aware of this fact, just to have a spare camera in case the main one malfunctions after the Antelope in a way that it may not be usable.

On windy days, the sand does come in from the top. It's worse at Lower Antelope Canyon, though. In fact, on very windy days, they usually shut down Lower Antelope.

My tour was around noontime. I carried plenty of water to be hydrated, and a light tripod where I mounted my Nikon P90. The light was good enough to allow exposures no longer than maybe a couple of seconds (I used Aperture Priority of 8) and the pics acame out very good, but I never heard about the sand showers that come from the top of the canyon, that can easily spoil your camera, like it happen to me. Upon leaving the Canyon, the sand that got into the barrel odf the lenses somehow got to a sensor, and the images on the LCD were overexposed, and they were recorded that way. Thanks to Adobe Photoshop for having features that allowed me to save most of my shots for the rest of the trip!!! I think the best camera to take there is a point and shoot which lens do not proyect up front, like a Pentax Optio W60 (28-140 mm lens) or something similar.

Specifically Appendix A. If I receive email back from you, I will go into detail. Your site is good reading and insightful into off-grid living. Best Regards, Kevin Quillinan.
