Description
Horseshoe Bend......I know this site has been over photographed but this was my first time to visit this part of the Colorado River and was overcome with the size and the natural beauty of this place just amazing..
Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, United States.[1] It is also referred to as the "east rim of the Grand Canyon."[2]
Horseshoe Bend is located 5 miles (8.0 km) downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, about 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of Page.[1][3]
It is accessible via hiking a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) round trip from a parking area just off U.S. Route 89 within southwestern Page.[1] The land south of the Bend's parking area, trail, and overlook are on the Navajo Nation territory.[4]
Horseshoe Bend is popular just before sunset, as large groups of tourists make the long 1/2 mile hike down to the over look point. (2019)
Horseshoe Bend can be viewed from the steep cliff above.[5]
The overlook is 4,200 feet (1,300 m) above sea level, and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet (980 m) above sea level, making it a 1,000-foot (300 m) drop.[5]
Recently, the lookout has become a major tourist destination. By 2018, references to the location on social media had caused the number of visitors to increase significantly.[6]

Hi Mitch; never mind the site has been over photographed; one can never get tired of this spot's beauty and majesty; and you had done it justice with this wide angle shot. P.S. I have been there 5 times at different times of the year and still haven't been able to capture all the beauty and mystery this place has to offer. I'm sure we will all go back again and again.... and again... LOL (if we get the chance). Well done Mitch.
