If you’re in search of an incredible natural vista, then Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth a visit.
The name was inspired by its unusual shape, a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located four miles southwest of Page, Arizona, within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
The best view is from the steep cliff above Horseshoe Bend.
Horseshoe Bend’s rock walls have a variety of minerals, including hematite, platinum, and garnet. The overlook is 4,200 feet above sea level, and the Colorado River is 3,200 feet above sea level, which gives this scenic view a breathtaking 1,000 foot drop.
