Description
Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, and just south of the Glen Canyon dam in Arizona. It resides within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and just up river from the boundary to Grand Canyon National Park.
It is a popular tourist attraction, especially at sunset, and can be reached via a short hike from Highway 89.
At an elevation of 4,200 feet, the drop to the Colorado River from the overlook is more than 1000 ft.
