Horseshoe Bend – Arizona

The Horseshoe Bend is certainly one of the most impressive views on Earth.

The Horseshoe Bend is a meander in the shape of a horseshoe that the Colorado River flows through and it is a viewpoint near Page and Antelope Canyon. If you are in the area you cannot miss it … We didn´t. This was one of the visits that Ruth had found during her exhaustive research. It is so accessible that we almost couldn´t believe it was just there. Of course there is a walk to get to it (about one kilometer), but we could hardly say that it was difficult, even for Noah.

The end of this trail leads to amazing scenery that we could have appreciated for hours and hours if Noah hadn’t been around.

Family Travel Secret
If you are going with young children, make sure to look after them every single minute. The view is amazing, but there is no protection whatsoever from the cliff, which is more than 300 meters high.

Family Travel Secret
On warmer days it is extremely important to carry plenty of water with you, as from the entrance of the trail to the Horseshoe Bend viewpoint you won´t find water anywhere, unless you jump down to the Colorado River 🙂 🙂 🙂
