Many people have referred to Horseshoe Bend as an intimate Grand Canyon experience. It is technically 7 miles up the Colorado River from Mile 0 of the Grand Canyon, however, it is that majestic, wide-open expanse of an ancient sandstone canyon where you can take your picture with the river in the background. It is located just outside of Page, Arizona. There is a 3/4 mile trail to Horseshoe Bend from the parking lot where your Guide will take you to visit Horseshoe Bend. It is one of the most spectacular views of the Colorado River and Glen Canyon that you can experience. It is unforgettable!
