The view was awesome. Since it's winter the sunshine could not reach the entire rock. But it looked still great. read more

Horseshoe Bend - Horseshoe Bend - Hiking Near Me - Page, Arizona

Truly amazing! We visited here on a Wednesday June 29th right after touring the Lower Antelope Canyon. It is only a 10 min drive from LAC however there is a hr time change. Bring lots of water for your entire group. They have signs recommending one bottle of water per person. They day we visited it was over 100 degrees. The walk from the parking lot to the money view of the Horseshoe is 1.5 miles. Well worth the walk in the heat and it's free! read more

A very good view of the Colorado River. Also a unique spot on the river itself. Fantastic view points, sharp 1000 foot cliffs. The earlier you come the better because it gets packed full of people. In the wintertime not so bad but in the summer insanely amount of people. read more

This place is overly crowded but the view is amazing. Definitely worth it when you travel to Arizona. read more

Breathtaking. If you are planning on taking professional pictures (or amateur professional) you should consider going both early afternoon and sunset for two totally different images of the same beautiful landscape. read more

Breathtaking! We went there in the morning and the view was awesome. It's a 20 minute walk from the parking lot. A little tiring but you won't be disappointed. Wear comfortable shoes and carry a bottle of water. You can walk right to the tip and there is no railing, so be careful. read more

Horseshoe Bend - Morning 6.30 view - Hiking Near Me - Page, Arizona

Hands down, the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Don't worry about getting pictures at first-just take it all in. It is beautiful. On the down side, there are a lot of people all over the place. That didn't take away from the views at all-it was just kind of nerve-wracking to watch some people go to extreme lengths to get intense pics. Made me anxious since we are all just on the edge of a huge cliff... But still-absolutely a million times worth it. read more

AMAZING VIEWS! Breathe taking. You have to really becareful with the little ones, there are no rails.

We went here right before Antelope Canyon . This is a must stop. Be prepared to hike and walk in sand . Bring something to drink . They do have benches for your trip back . The view is very unique and breathtaking. They do have plenty of parking . Right now it is still free. They are just starting to build a gift shop and etc . read more

Add this to your list of must sees! It's incredible! I thought the Grand Canyon was awesome, but this spot took my breath away. It's a bit of a walk, nothing crazy, but be prepared to trek up a fairly steep hill and down (and return). We went at sunset but heard late morning is a good time to go bc the sun is behind you and shines directly on the bend. There's no railing, you basically walk up to an open hole in the ground, and it's stunning. It was early October, weather was perfect, but a bit crowded. Everyone is trying to get that perfect picture. Parking can be a challenge, people seemed to create their own spots. Those that didn't parked along the road for what seemed like a mile from the spot. But it's worth it! read more

Horseshoe Bend - Horseshoe Bend view. Worth the trek!! - Hiking Near Me - Page, Arizona

Such a great view of the Colorado river. The canyon looks so big that it looks unreal like a photograph! Love it. The walk from parking lot to bend is about 15-20. Downhill then uphill on way back up! Must do if you in the area it's worth it read more

Horseshoe Bend - Hiking Near Me - Page, Arizona

Well worth seeing! Gets very busy though so go early so that there is parking. Although people end up finding weird spots to park anyway. No fee (surprisingly) and the views are absolutely stunning. We went around 12-1pm and the lighting was perfect to capture the rocks and deep blue/green river below. A must if you are in the area read more

This is just an amazing occurrence in nature. Reading and seeing others' pictures really doesn't do it justice. This is something that everyone must see at least once in their lifetime! We were lucky enough to get there early afternoon on a Friday. We had very small amount of people. The rest of the weekend when passed the parking lot, it was overflowing onto 89. read more

Easy to find just outside of Page. Just be ready to hike to the cliff. It was a bit crowded just before sundown but we got great pictures anyway. People were fairly courteous about taking turns getting a good spot for pictures. read more

Horseshoe Bend - Just before sunset - Hiking Near Me - Page, Arizona

Taking a picture here is definitely worth! It's no walk in the park though! You do have to go on a little over 7 min hike to the actual observation area. Once there you can the the beautiful views of the Horseshoe bend. The viewing area isn't restricted or anything so you're free to walk around, but make sure you don't get too close the edge, it is a little dangerous. Overall great experience, it's a great place to visit! read more

Where do i start? Such a breathtaking place. Nice hike up I had to stop a few times on my way up because I have bad knees but it was on a cold day so it was okay. I do not recommend doing this hike on a super hot day without bringing plenty of water specially if you are not used to hiking. It is not such a tough hike for those in good health condition. I have water in my knees due to an accident and this causes me pain, therefore it was a little challenging for me nevertheless not impossible because I was going at my own pace. Plenty of room on the trail to walk slow if needed. Definitely recommend to bring sunblock and glasses if going during the summer. I guarantee you wont regret the hike it is lovely up there and well worth it. read more

Oh my goodness! What a gorgeous sight! The hike in is super easy and not very long. I went there around 5:45pm, I'd recommend you doing the same! It was nice to scope out where I wanted to take photos. I'd advise to wait until sunset to take pictures, otherwise it's far too sunny to get a good shot. This is a beautiful free attraction that truly makes you feel super small...I'd go here again and again and again, it's really that impressive. The parking lot has ample parking, at least for the current time of year, I'm sure it gets more crowded in the summer time. Also, an important note, there is no safety here, be careful as it's an incredibly steep drop! read more

Great viewpoint worth the time. Use extreme caution near edges as the signs depict. Rocks are not very strong here and people have died from falls. Also do not under estimate the heat on the walk. Its all uphill on the way back, no shade, no relief from the sun. We saw one person carried away on a buggie with suspected heat stroke (she left a bit of "stuff" on the sand). Come prepared and it's not a big deal. Take your time and enjoy the views from the paved walkways with fences for your safety. read more

Gorgeous 20 minute walk on a newly updated pathway with stops along the way to sit in the shade. Public restrooms are a hike. Only $10 for the carload for get in. Stunning natural view with viewing platforms. Lots of unprotected edges so be careful with children. read more

Awesome view but not friendly to elderly like my mom to go see the view coz it's so far away, maybe it's nice when a bus can pick visitors from parking area to near the view. I missed the view coz my mom can't make to the view read more

First of all, let me say that the view of the Colorado River is spectacular, but the hordes of often rude people taking their selfies pretty much ruin it. About the only time I'd go back is when the weather is blistering hot, and hopefully the mob would be diminished. read more

Really nice view here. However, it's really really hot here. You do need hats, water. There is around 20 minuets walk from parking to the point. read more

What appears to just be an uphill, dull, sandy hike to a ridge is really something else. Breathtaking! If you are one of the die hards to stay for the sunset, you are indeed very lucky as parking is difficult by the end of the afternoon. We didn't stay for the sunset, but we were able to capture some amazing photos of the horseshoe. read more

This place is a total gem that is so easy to miss! It has the similar splendor of the Grand Canyon with breath taking views. I was not prepared for the hike however! be prepared to take a walk about a half mile or so down to the canyon. Bring a couple bottles of water and sunscreen with you and take your time on the walk, it is a gorgeous walk through the Arizona desert! We arrived at Horseshoe bend after about 150 miles through the desert. If you do this, just drive past it first and stop in Page, 2 or 3 miles down the road for food, water, or gas. The turn back around and stop at Horseshoe. There is no entrance fee. read more

Horseshoe Bend is wonderful. But Travelers, BE AWARE : Hwy 89A to Page is currently CLOSED !!!!! A landslide destroyed the road in early 2013, and the road has not been fixed. We did not know this until we hit the road blocks on 89A. We had to detour for 150 MILES !! None of this information is provided from all the traveling links we checked during the searching for Page attractions and lodging. I think the State/County/City intends to hide it in order to save the economy of Page, AZ. We encountered many many people who took the extra 150 miles to get there. It's disgraceful, dishonest and absolutely inconsiderate ! read more

Photography does not do justice to Horseshoe Bend. The 30 min walk to the Bend is scenic and easy for all ages. The aqua color of the Colorado River and the yellowish brown color of Horseshoe Bend complement each other well. I recommend Yelpers hiking towards the right of the Bend, where there are fewer tourists. This allows you to take better photos that captures the grandeur of the Bend. Also, expect that your shoes are going to be filled with tons of red sand. Unlike Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend does not charge an entrance fee. Overall, I highly recommend you going to Horseshoe Bend during your trip to Page! read more

Successfully made it to horseshoe bend with a 2 yr old and 7 month old in DECEMBER! We were on a road trip to the Grand Canyon and drove 2 hrs north to see this place on my bucket list. It was warmer in Page than it was at the Grand Canyon. A plus! In the month of December, we were able to take this 3/4 mile walk without our jackets. The trail has a slight incline, but totally doable. My 2 yr old wanted to walk/run the entire way to the horseshoe and my 7 month old was content to ride along in the baby bjorn. Once we got to the cliff, our 2 yr old knew she wasn't allowed to leave our side, much less let go of our hand. While my husband and I were mesmerized by the view and made efforts to capture photos, my daughter was just fine staying inland playing with the sand and rocks. I'm glad we made the trek out because we stayed at least an hour taking in the view whereas we were only able to stay at the Grand Canyon viewpoints for 5-10 minutes at a time because it was too cold and windy for the kids. Here, I felt like I could actually enjoy myself. Great place to check out and doable with kids who listen. There are NO fencing whatsoever, so visit at your own risk. But definitely worth all the effort. read more

This place is amazing and I don't think there is much that I can add that hasn't already been written. The view is picturesque and it's one of the only free things that you'll find in the area. Even if you aren't in the area, make a trip over to see it. You won't be disappointed! read more

Horseshoe bend is AMAZING! It is definitely a wonder of nature. My friends & I went there on a rainy day after having gone to antelope canyon the day before. We purchased umbrellas because it was super windy & rainy. The hike to get to the view of the bend is pretty short, maybe about a mile or less? & once you get there, it is just amazing. You can gaze down into the Colorado river & it is really just an amazing view. Be careful though, there aren't any fences or anything so it's literally just open space & if you're not careful when standing on the edge to take pictures, you can fall down. I would definitely recommend coming here; even on the rainy day that we were there, it was beautiful & we were still able to get good pictures as well. read more

This spot is incredible! A very short hike to a beautiful view. The facilities are also very modern, updated, and clean.

Underwhelmed Maybe it's a case of the deck being stacked against this spot. The Grand Canyon is a five-star location. Lower Antelope Canyon is a five-star location. After seeing those places, it is just not possible to give Horseshoe Bend the same rating. Having said that, it is plenty cool enough to warrant a look see. If you're going to or coming from Page, it's easy off the highway and back on again. The walk from the parking lot is a bit longer than expected, but the best sights are rarely seen from the highway. read more

It's beautiful but sketchy. The crowds make me nervous around the cliff and I could see an accident happening if you're not careful or others aren't too. read more

We made a stop to Horseshoe bend after our antelope canyon tour, and may i say it was so worth it?!?! The scenery was just beautiful! easy walk (10 min the most) to something quite breathtaking... Although the height was quite scary for me, it was a must stop in Page! :) read more

If you have an opportunity to stop by, you should! Me and my group of friends did a pit stop after touring the antelope canyons. You park in a lot and trek about half a mile to get to horseshoe bend. It was pretty crowded even for a Monday late afternoon. Really sandy out here, when the wind blew... sand in my eyes and mouth. It's beautiful out there! If you're a little scared of heights be careful. It's quite a drop from ledge. Enjoy the views and take all the selfies and photos to make your friends jealous! Taha. read more

Wow- the first word that comes to my mind when I peered upon this gorgeous natural creation. Just the colors and the height and scale of this place just makes you feel so small. It is a nice trip to take either by yourself or with family. I went with my mother, father, brother, sister and uncle. The hike to get there can be a bit strenuous if you are not used to such activity, but it is well worth the work out. There are so many beautiful pictures to be taken here and you can even climb up a bit higher and see further past the bend. Pictures definitely don't do Horse Shoe Bend justice, it is seriously a sight for sore eyes! read more

If you are in the area, without a question check it out. So beautiful. We went in early May and it was very warm and sunny out so I imagine the summer is quite worse. Lots of people as expected. It's a little difficult to walk in the sand so wear appropriate shoes. The "hike" there and back isn't bad. I can't say when the best time to go is but we went around 3pm and the sun wasn't an issue. This is one place you don't want to miss. read more

Parking is $35, used to be $10 9 months ago, to walk 10 min for a scene that can be captured in a camera shot. Also, entrance fee to Zion is $35, just for reference. The city of Page is a huge scam. Save yourself the money and google Horseshoe Bend read more
