The Horseshoe Bend Near Page, Arizona
If you drive from Flagstaff, Arizona in the direction of Page, Arizona, on the Highway 89, you will find a small sign on the right hand side of the road indicating that the Horseshoe Bend was to the left where there was a hill to be seen. It is almost easy to miss the sign but it comes right after the Page city limits sign. There was a parking lot to the left and a pathway leading up the hill.
You will follow this pathway which is semi smooth. 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 still takes a few minutes to get there. In the 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. But going back to the car could be a challenge in the heat.

When you get to the bend, it is like the pictures in the travel books. The view is amazing and breathtaking. The Colorado River will be calm and green a summer’s day and every now and then you may hear a speedboat or a tourist boat come around the curve and break the silence.
Around you, the fascinating etched layers of stone tell their story. There are a lot possibilities to take pictures of the sight.
