Horseshoe Bend is a stunning, easily accessible overlook of a horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River. It is located near Page, Arizona. The viewpoint is a relatively short, mostly flat walk from the parking lot, making it suitable for a wide range of visitors, but the final approach to the edge involves some uneven terrain. While visiting solo is perfectly safe and common, guided tours are available that provide additional information about the area's geology and history. There are no significant seasonal restrictions, but it's best to visit during the cooler months (spring and fall) due to the intense heat of the Arizona summer. The cost to visit is generally just the parking fee. A typical visit duration is about 1-2 hours, including the walk to the overlook and time spent enjoying the view. There are safety barriers in some areas, but caution is always advised, especially with children, due to the steep drop-off.
