Description

Opened in 2018 and expanded in 2019, the Horseshoe Bend Overlook Parking Lot is the City of Page’s managed facility that funnels visitors safely to the iconic Colorado River bend. A 0.6‑mile (1 km) hardened trail starts here, leading to the rim viewpoint. The $10 day‑use fee funds trail maintenance, restrooms, and on‑site staff. ADA‑compliant parking stalls and a partially paved trail segment make the first half of the walk wheelchair‑friendly, with a dedicated accessible viewing area partway along the route. No parking is permitted on US‑89; vehicles must use this lot or a seasonal shuttle from Page.
