Horseshoe Bend is a spectacular formation in Arizona, formed by the Colorado River. The loop of the river, called a meander, encircles the monumental plateau sculpted by time with its green and blue waters. This rock formation offers a landscape in the shape of a horseshoe.

The viewpoint is easy to access. It’s just sublime! If you’re visiting the Page region, this is clearly a must-see!

Practical information

Viewpoint access: 20-25 minutes’ walk one way. You’ll have to cross over to the other side of the hill, a round trip of 2.4 kilometers.

Note: the trail is in direct sunlight! Take something to protect yourself and water (essential!)! If you’d like to take a break, small shelters are available along the way.

Horseshoe Bend is clearly a miracle of nature, carved out by the waters of the Colorado River over the course of a thousand years!

In September 2022, at the time of our visit, barriers and platforms had just been installed to secure the viewpoint, which is located on a cliff face!

Thanks for reading!
