Horseshoe Bend

Coconino County, AZ

Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.

Horseshoe Bend is a nearly 270° entrenched meander of the Colorado River just south of Page, Arizona. A short, sandy walk from the City of Page parking area reaches a sheer overlook roughly 1,000 feet above the river. Expect heavy crowds and strong sun; stay behind barriers—the rim is unfenced in places and fatal falls occur.
