The trailhead to this 3/4 mile hike is located just outside of Page, Arizona. It overlooks one of the most spectacular views on the Colorado River, 4 miles south of the Glen Canyon Dam, and 7 miles north of mile zero of the Grand Canyon. « less

One of nature's unique picturesque places. The Colorado river flows down through high canyon walls and it is worth the short hike down to get a few pics. You will not be disappointed.

It is about 0.75 miles (one way), climbing to see this great riverbend. We spent there a lot of time just looking at the views. Simply great. A must-do attraction in Page!

Great view and a great place to take some awesome photos. Easy to find, with plenty of free parking. Fairly easy walk to the vista, even in full sun. As always, take water!

Makes for great pictures at sunset. The short hike is well worth it. Fun to see via the raft trips too.

Easy to find south of Page and easy to hike. But take four things: 1. Water as it is hot, hot, hot and the hike takes a while. 2. Good shoes as the sand is hot, hot, hot. 3. Your camera, even if just an iPhone. You need to take a shot of this wonderful sight. 4. Common Sense as... More

Definitely worth the long hike to see this beautiful view. Make sure you take water with you because the hike is up hill both ways and has deep sand in parts.

You park and then walk up a fairly steep hill in soft sand and you think that's it, but no there is at least another half mile of sometimes sand and sometimes rocky ground, but it's all downhill from there and by heck what a view awaits you!! It is magnificent!! The only drawback here is the walk back which... More

We went by ourselves early one morning and even though the sun was not in the right position to take photos - our photos on the IPad came out very well. The walk up the hill is quite strenuous however we would strongly recommend going.

Spectacular view, but don't venture too close to the edge of the rim. The walk to the rim is in a lot of soft sand, and may be difficult for those out of shape.

Okay, so Horseshoe Bend was the one thing on our trip that I was going to see or die trying to get there. It's a 1.5 mile roundtrip trail on a steep, sandy and unstable trail. For people like me, who are completely out of shape, I was huffing and puffing the entire way but I DID IT! Easily a... More
