📍 Location:

Horseshoe Bend is located just outside Page, Arizona, about 5 miles (8 km) from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell.

🚗 Getting There:

Closest airport: Page Municipal Airport (PGA)

Drive: About 2.5 hours from Flagstaff, AZ or 4.5 hours from Las Vegas, NV.

Parking: There is a designated paid parking lot ($10 per car as of 2024) just off U.S. Route 89.

🥾 Hiking Info:

Trail length: 1.5 miles (2.4 km) round-trip

Difficulty: Easy to moderate (sandy and a bit uphill on the way back)

Tip: Bring water, especially in summer; there's little shade.

🕒 Best Time to Visit:

Sunset and sunrise offer the most stunning views and lighting for photography.

Avoid midday in summer — it gets extremely hot and crowded.

📸 Photography Tips:

Use a wide-angle lens to capture the full curve.

Midday reduces shadows, but sunrise/sunset gives dramatic lighting.

Stay behind safety railings — the cliffs are steep and unguarded in some areas.

🎒  Essentials to Carry:

Water bottle

Sunscreen and hat

Camera or smartphone

Sunglasses and good walking shoes

🛑 Caution:

There are some railings, but many areas are exposed — watch your step, especially with kids or in windy weather.
