I was asked to leave Antelope Canyon because it was starting to rain. It seems several people died there a years back when rain in the area caused a flash flood that swept through the canyon.  Some of the bodies were never recovered, having been swept into the lake formed by the dam on the river at Page. 

The rain was several drops per square foot, you can see a few in this picture I took while walking along the survace above the canyon.
