Horseshoe Bend • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to Horseshoe Bend, one of the most iconic and recognizable natural wonders in the American Southwest. You are standing in Page, Arizona, on the edge of a dramatic canyon within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. As you look out from the overlook, you are witnessing a massive one thousand-foot drop to the emerald-green waters of the Colorado River. The sight before you is a near-perfect two hundred and seventy-degree curve, a grand U-turn that has become a global symbol of nature's artistry. Whether you are here for the perfect photograph or the sheer scale of the landscape, take a moment to breathe in the dry desert air and listen for the echoes of the river far below, winding its way toward the Grand Canyon just nine miles downstream.
