Patrick, well needless to say these are natural tunnels. Maybe more a slip & slide during rainy conditions. Sadly, they can be treacherous during those events too.  I do really like the composition. Seems slightly different then many from here.
Although the red saturation is high it works OK sometimes for these images depending upon ones tastes. I have several takes from both Lower and Upper AC sites and have toned mine down a bit from my first processing years back now.

Very nice Patrick.   I like your comp on this and as Paul says, it is different than the typical AC image.  This is a good thing.

Patrick, it tooke me a minute to figure out where the "tunnel" was.  As typical for Antelope Canyon, you've got a fine collection of colors and textures here plus the fine sense of depth added by the overhang up top.  I'm also enjoying the orange to brown color change as the rocks get shaded.
