A must see. Nice little drive from anywhere unless you live close by. It's worth the drive. Easy walk to the scenic point. Plenty of parking. Bathrooms available. Even though it's a small walk to the point bring water and be prepared for not too much shade. There are a few shade spots but not much. Take a drive and enjoy. There is a charge in the entrance per vehicles of $10.00 and motorcycles is $5.00.

The views here are a 10/10! The photos just don't do it enough justice. This stop was apart of my tour and it was worth every penny.

A small fee $10 parking fee and a 10-15 minute walk along a gravel path leads to a remarkable vista over the Colorado River. This stop is well worth the quick adventure. There are some platforms with guard rails but also a bunch of area without. Keep close tabs on your kiddos and your own footing so you don't go over the edge.

A pretty dope site to visit in Page, AZ! It's really an amazing to see in person. It's $10 per car and short walk over (half mile or less) to see the bend! Very picturesque! Don't let the fake influencers annoy you and enjoy it. Don't forget to look up from the phone and take it in!

Horseshoe Bend is a "must see" destination if you're staying in Page, AZ overnight. My wife, two sons, and I visited here in April 2023. You pay an admission fee ($10) and after parking, it's about a 0.5 mile walk to the edge of the bend. Yes, it's true that no guardrails exist so be careful if you're bringing small children. I took about an hour in all to enjoy the view, take some photos, and hang out for a bit before going back to the car. That said, it does not include a museum or anything else to warrant an extended stay. If you're here in the middle of the day, it can get crowded (with Instagram folks trying to optimize their photo shoot). This is probably one of the most photographed sites in Page, AZ for good reason!

Gorgeous Spot. Parking costs $10 per car. The parking lot and and bathrooms do not have lights. It gets really dark at night. Plan on hiking down and hiking up. The path is not lit. At sundown it gets dark!! The overlook is open. There are tons of great photo spots. The more adventurous you are, the more fun you'll have. Just be mindful, if you drop off the edge, you'll be likely done.

Our first stop on our tour was Horseshoe Bend. This majestic site was created by nature's sheer forces and millions of years. The site can be accessed by a winding trail that will lead you to the precipice of the 1,000 foot plateau, overlooking the bend. Many visitors flock to this site and I could see why. It's an awe inspiring view of a land that is worth visiting and enjoying.

Lots of parking and it was less than a mile walk from the parking lot to see horseshoe bend... it was beautiful! Must see if you're in Page!

It's approx 0.8mile walk (my Garmin was tracking it) from the parking area to the horseshoe, with the slightest downhill slope on a gravel pathway, nothing strenuous. It seemed longer than 0.8mi on the way back though, maybe because it was 104 degrees that day (July 2025) There are no toilets once you leave the parking area, so use those porta potties before you start walking. This was on my bucket list - I think it's pretty cool that the Colorado River decided to do a complete U-turn to carve out this beautiful area. However, it's out in the middle of nowhere, combine with Antelope Canyon for a day trip or stay overnight in Page, AZ to rest before heading back.

For $10 it's cool to see. As others have said, there's nothing keeping you from falling off the edge except your own free will. It's a huge bend in the shape of a horseshoe that you're able to see over the top of. Great for photo ops, cool to walk around near, but dear god I would not come here with kids, you will have a heart attack. The walk there takes about 15 minutes each way. Even if you're not super in shape it's a relatively easy walk. I had wished there were some facts about Horseshoe bend along the way (maybe I missed them?). It would've been cool to have some context around what you're seeing, but as others have said it is a pretty cool and dramatic sight to see. For those who are afraid of heights, there are one or two spots where a railing separates you from the literal edge of the bend, which is where I'd recommend standing to grab your picture!

Another Arizona must vist!!! Great views and nice walk!!! The views are nothing short of amazing!!!

A short scenic stop that you can couple with Antelope Canyon, this 1.5-mile round-trip walk to a pretty view of the Colorado River's horseshoe-shaped bend. There's a $10 fee per car. The entire paved walk is exposed to the sun with a few shaded benches if you want to take a break from the path. Otherwise in the heat of summer, it can get hot. It is a slight downhill to the bend and therefore uphill back to the parking. Once you get to the spot there will probably be plenty of other visitors trying to take pictures. Like a lot of things if you come when it's more peaceful I'm sure it is more enjoyable. While there's not much to do here, I think it's worth a visit!

Best way go describe Horseshoe Bend is the way a friend described it, "Views that will re-energize the soul." Sometimes you need reasons to keep going and these are one of those places. Keep traveling, keep exploring and feed your soul. Easy access off the 89, restrooms available, plenty of parking, $10 cover charge and the hike is easy. About a mile round trip.

Do you have to hike a lot? I have 1 years old and 2 years old , is it child friendly for their age?

A 15 min paved walk down to the bend overlook. There are mostly unfenced areas at the overlook, so young kids would need to be 100% supervised carefully. Nothing to see on the path - the view is all over a cliff with a small fenced area.

Compared to the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon, this spot isn't as grand but still packs quite the punch.

Hidden Canyon Kayak - Kayaking through the antelope canyon

I booked online about a week in advance but accidentally selected the wrong time. After a little…read morephone and email tag, their team quickly helped me switch to my preferred slot. The day before our tour, Julia called to let us know strong headwinds were expected and asked if we wanted to adjust our time. We already had a different morning tour scheduled, and they were incredibly accommodating with our plans. At the launch site, we met our guide Logan, and we were lucky that it was just our family of four on this tour. Husband and I wore aqua shoes and my daughters opted to wear their Birkenstock sandals and go barefoot, which was fine if you're okay with getting red mud on them. Logan was friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I was a bit nervous since I'm a beginner kayaker, but he let us move at our own pace. It ended up being a great workout while still feeling peaceful and relaxing. The scenery was absolutely stunning. The canyon was quiet, beautiful, and not crowded at all. We paddled across Lake Powell and into the canyon, and the cool lake water felt amazing in the warm end-of-March weather (mid-80s). They provided life jackets, offered bottled water, and Logan even took photos of us both on the water and at the end of the canyon, which we really appreciated. He also shared helpful paddling tips along the way. The entire tour lasted about 2.5-3 hours and was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend for families and beginners looking for a scenic and well-guided kayaking experience!

Our group completed the kayak and hike which were very much worth it! We needed slight accommodations and Sid and John were reassuring and supportive for both my mom and I. This tour is really for everyone and I can't recommend this tour company and John enough. Because we traveled during off season, we had the entire lake and trail to ourselves. John left much time for us to take cool pictures and was a wealth of knowledge. He made sure to engage with each person in the group and was successful in getting the more shy individuals to step out of their comfort zones. John and Sid (the other employee) made this tour worth it. They provided awesome recommendations for things in the area and also future outdoor related activities in the U.S. Be sure to pack enough water. Remember you are in a kayak and your items will likely get soaked. Luckily they provide one water proof bag per kayak which can hold your phone and camera. If you feel the need to pack more, I recommend that you bring your own waterproof back pack. I opted to go barefoot in the kayak and wear shoes on the hike. You will have to walk through water to get on and off of the boat. Do not let your size and fitness level deter you from this tour. The team is incredibly accommodating and reassuring, making this the perfect tour for all. Highly recommend this tour and either Sid or John!

This in my humble opinion is and has become the top, must visit and see destination in Arizona. Let me try and explain why it surpasses the Grand Canyon. These gorgeous canyons were naturally carved over thousands of years by the combined forces of the eroding water via flash floods and the strong winds interacting with the sandstone. Hence behold these spectacular smooth natural flowing, swirling and narrow rock formations as our stellar guide and the others educated us via words, music and lyrics. The 70 minute tour in the afternoon( & earlier one around 10 am) is timed perfectly to coincide with the proper angles and intensity of the sun's rays as we made our way down to this wonderland. It was a lovely and breezy 80 degrees and maybe 70 ish when we got to the bottom. Please wear comfy sneakers. This beauty is in Page, Arizona just 271 miles north of Phoenix. I emphasis again this is a once in a lifetime event.

Our tour guide was a Navajo older and very friendly lady that did an excellent job, she not only gave a good explanation on the history of the Canyon and took some great pictures of us but also gave me a lecture on photography. It was a 10 minute ride from the place where you buy the tickets to where you meet your guide and from there the whole adventure is under a mile at an elevation of about 4K feet. Natural wonder not to be missed when in the area. Tickets were 55 per person and the whole tour took about 90 minutes. The place is managed by TAADIDIIN TOURS Internet is very spotty throughout Arizona, Utah and Colorado.

I cannot recommend this enough…read more This was the most breathtaking kayak through the canyons; and the hike was spectacular. A friend and I booked this event for her 40th birthday and it was the absolute highlight of our trip! We were thinking of renting kayaks and doing it ourselves but are both so grateful that we didn't because our tour guide, Ryan, was fantastic-- extremely knowledgeable, helpful, witty, and patient with us, as we were both beginners. He made it really fun! We learned that Britney Spears shot her video "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" there, too! This was so worth it and will definitely be coming back and booking with Ryan!

She said yes but the benefit of using them was they carried the boards down and up a steep hill. We were there on Saturday April 25th. So we rented two paddle boards and she warned us about the winds. It was like $155. She was nice so we went for it. We get to the site and are waiting around. They haven't even taken the boards off the truck, but we were fine waiting. Layla finally made it up the HILL and had 2 boards taken off the truck and laid on the ground. I asked if any of the MANY men who were there and carrying kayaks down, was going to carry them down. She said no, you carry them. And that hill was STEEP. I figured meh, okay. I was annoyed since we were told they'd be ready for us at the bottom. Layla carried my paddle. Once I saw the hill, I was even more annoyed but I already paid $155 plus $30 entry to the lake. When we got to the bottom, she mentioned when we got back I had to carry it back up. I said I'm not doing that. lol. She held my leash so I could climb on my board. Not an easy task where we were. The paddle boarding was rough but we knew that, the girls at the office warned us. 5 miles later we returned. I STRUGGLED getting off the board and trying to haul it up by myself, my body was shaking and I was visibly exhausted. A young man who worked for this place, WATCHED me struggle. Asked how it was, I said it sucked. He mentioned me carrying the board up that steep hill, while I was shaking from exhaustion and out of breath, and I said "I'm not doing that" and he replied with "why is it heavy?" I did carry my life jacket and paddle...but after that comment I REALLY didn't want to. Layla gave me a water at the top and said to take a breath, I was breathing very heavy. I'd say don't rent paddle boards. You will have to carry them up and down the hill and will get no assistance getting off the board either. But they did carry the kayaks and help those people who also paid like we did, in and out of the kayaks. So maybe rent those and not the paddle boards.
