Horseshoe Bend
The Colorado River’s 270° bend, 1,000 feet down
The most photographed meander in America — the Colorado River swings a near-perfect horseshoe around a sandstone butte a thousand feet below the rim, just outside Page. A short walk from the lot to one of the great overlooks in the Southwest.
