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

Horseshoe Bend in Page, AZ is a beautiful site just a short walk from the parking lot(3/4 mile, some up hill and in sand). The view is spectacular and this is a prime location for photos.

A beautiful part of the Colorado River. It's a short hike to the viewpoint and once there keep a hold of your small children and stay a safe distance from the edge. There are no railings and it's a long drop to the canyon floor!

Short 3/4 mile hike brings you to a stunning location for sunset pics. Bring a wide angle lens to get the best shots. There is nothing to protect you from the exposed cliffs here so use common sense and don't bring children that you can't control. There have been deaths here from falls over the edge. Highly recommend.

I woke up at 4am to gather my things, short drive and hike to Horseshoe Bend. I'm a photography enthusiast and wanted to shoot Horseshoe Bend at early light. Even though I had seen pictures, I was blown away by the seeing it in person. Incredible, peaceful beauty. If you go, don't let the short hike deter you. I am... More

We were in Page mainly to see Antelope Canyon, but a friend who had been here before suggested we should go to Horseshoe Bend as well. Now I can say that, if you are ever in Page, you must go to Horseshoe Bend! It is only about a 10-minute drive from town, if even that. To see it, it's about... More

On of the best things I photographed on my roadtrip. Bring water and sunblock. Part of the hike is uphill both ways and in sand. Its not bad but can be in the summer or heat of the day but well worth it.!

The sunset was beautiful here. The wind gusts were crazy that day. the hike down to the area is not too long but it is in soft sand. Take some water and a bag to keep your camera in to protect it from the sand.

It is a short hike to stand above the horseshoe and look down from the rim, the view is amazing. Everybody can do this relatively easy walk, a bit steeper on the way back.

Our second visit to this awesome viewpoint. My advice is take a wide-angle lens or you won't fit all of the Horseshoe Bend into your picture.

If you're near Page, it's worth a little uphill trek (about 10-20 minutes one way) to see it from the top. We went rafting around in and it's a completely different view from below versus top. Both are worth it.
