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

With no rails of any kind I found this just a little terrifying. I am not very good with heights and was not able to get close enough to the edge to get the full view, I'm not sure anyone could, I suspect most of the pictures you see are taken from a helicopter. Still breathtaking, well worth a visit... More

This place is amazing! Just 10-15 min drive from Antelope Canyon. The view is incredible. No entry fee and a free parking next to it. Not many people around there, maybe because its not owned by Indians yet or not everyone knows about the place.

20 minute hike to the viewing spot - bring a super wide angle lens - nice to look at, but it's over quickly and you're on your way back to the car

Absolutely beautiful and the walk there on a scale of 1-10 re difficulty - 10 be hardest, is IMO a 4. While staying in Page I asked a guy in the elevator at my hotel with his little daughter, have you been to Horseshoe Bend yet? He said, "no, it isn't in the brochure I have." So I told him... More

The hike is well worth it, but can be tiring in places as the sand is thick and the path is hilly. But you can take your time and the view of the horseshoe bend is beautiful and is just like the photos. Wear closed in shoes and don't be scared of heights!

The view and how close to Page it was. I viewed it from above and at river's surface on a trip down the river. Took my son from Maine and he was impressed!

I'm not a hiker, and I hate walking uphill, and hate doing it even more in the heat. But this was worth it. Not too long of a walk -- definitely bring lots of cold water with you as there is no shade anywhere and really no place to sit along the way. What makes the walk a bit difficult... More

Whilst only about 3/4 mile from the trailhead, the guides often forget to tell you that's 1/4 mile up and 1/2 mile down a sandy path and it's quite steep in places (and obviously 1/2 mile up, 1/4 mile down heading back to the parking area). Don't forget to take water! A fantastic sight when you do get to the... More

Having already visited (and reviewed) Lower Antelope Canyon, you do really have to see Horseshoe bend. From car park, up steep sandy hill to brief plateau, then downhill all the way to the view. It is spectacular, and massive, but to be honest an anti-climax after the sheer beauty of Antelope....so do it the other way round - Horseshoe first,... More
