Horseshoe Bend

 

Horseshoe Bend is found around four miles south of Page, Arizona on Hwy 89, one ought to pay special mind to a little tan signboard that peruses "Horseshoe Bend Overlook". It is barely noticeable this signboard, so one need to nearly pay special mind to it. Make a turn westwards at the signboard and in under a quarter of a mile the street ought to end at a little earth parking area. Since this area is obscure to most visitors to the Glen Canyon Recreation Area, the parking garage normally has a lot of void spots. From the parking area, the disregard is 3/4 of a mile away. A decently checked trail prompts the ignore. In any case, the trail comprises for the most part of detached desert sand and it can be an exceptionally strenuous trek. So convey loads of water or different liquids.

 

As you stroll down the trail, detached desert sand offers approach to sandstone shakes that go once more to the early Jurassic period. Over a great many years, wind and water have disintegrated these rocks to make irregular, yet striking shapes and examples.

 

After arriving at the neglect, one is awed by the gloriousness of the scene that can't be communicated in words or through a photo. The ignore is at the highest point of a soak orange colored precipice a few many feet high. Down beneath, an emerald green Colorado River makes a horseshoe formed curve before surging towards the Grand Canyon.
