This is the Highway 89 between Flagstaff and heading in the direction of Page, Arizona. Who would ever guess that the amazing Horseshoe Bend can be found in this inconspicuous area?

You will find a small sign on the right hand side of the road indicating that the Horseshoe Bend is to the left. You can also see a hill on the left hand side of the road. It is almost easy to miss the sign but it comes right after the Page city limits sign.

There is a parking lot also on the left and a pathway leading up the hill. You will follow this pathway which is semi smooth and partially sandy. For those in wheelchairs it could be a challenge, though, getting through to the bend.

When you get over the hill, you will see where the Horseshoe Bend is located and just follow the trail towards it. It is still not obvious at this point how spectacular it will be. It still takes a few minutes to get there. During summer it is incredibly hot so plenty of water will be necessary for this walk. The trail towards the bend itself is a bit downhill so it is more comfortable to walk.
