horse shoe bend


On our trip to lake Powell we decided to take the hike to Horse Shoe Bend. Again, been to Page thousands of times, but never been. Loved it enough to take the whole family back the next night. If you want to go, there are a couple of things to know.
The parking lot is a couple of miles south of Page. From there, you hike 3/4 mile to the lookout. Not for the faint of heart- no railings, and a 1000 foot drop off. Don't get too close, you think that the stone is thick, but at the edge it's pretty thin.

Chelsea at one of the look out spots- she was making me a little nervous... (but a great shot none the less)





Photo taken on first trip at 11 am. not sure which one I like the best- the river in this one or the deeper colors at dusk.
