The trailhead to this 3/4 mile hike is located just outside of Page, Arizona. It overlooks one of the most spectacular views on the Colorado River, 4 miles south of the Glen Canyon Dam, and 7 miles north of mile zero of the Grand Canyon. « less

Absolutely beautiful and the walk there on a scale of 1-10 re difficulty - 10 be hardest, is IMO a 4. While staying in Page I asked a guy in the elevator at my hotel with his little daughter, have you been to Horseshoe Bend yet? He said, "no, it isn't in the brochure I have." So I told him... More

The hike is well worth it, but can be tiring in places as the sand is thick and the path is hilly. But you can take your time and the view of the horseshoe bend is beautiful and is just like the photos. Wear closed in shoes and don't be scared of heights!

The view and how close to Page it was. I viewed it from above and at river's surface on a trip down the river. Took my son from Maine and he was impressed!

Whilst only about 3/4 mile from the trailhead, the guides often forget to tell you that's 1/4 mile up and 1/2 mile down a sandy path and it's quite steep in places (and obviously 1/2 mile up, 1/4 mile down heading back to the parking area). Don't forget to take water! A fantastic sight when you do get to the... More

Having already visited (and reviewed) Lower Antelope Canyon, you do really have to see Horseshoe bend. From car park, up steep sandy hill to brief plateau, then downhill all the way to the view. It is spectacular, and massive, but to be honest an anti-climax after the sheer beauty of Antelope....so do it the other way round - Horseshoe first,... More

I really like there. What a view. It was worth a hike. There is no shade, so bring your hat, wear sneakers, and get water.

We went early in the morning before it got too hot. There is no shade on the 3/4 mile walk through the sand. This attraction is free and definitely worth your time to walk down to see the view.

We went out around 3pm in May and it was worth the walk. As other reviewers have noted, it isn't a long walk, but it does take you up a hill to get there (in sand), but the kicker is the hill coming back to the parking lot (up an even longer hill in deeper sand). With the heat, there... More

Something to see before you're any older. It changes colour in the fading light. Easy walk from the car park which is just off UT-89.

I mean, what else you would do in Page-AZ, then? This is THE place for sunset. It's really cool place for sunrise hike, too. Just be careful, specially with young kids, as there are no fence there. Often, its very windy up there. It's pure and natural. Bring some water and food to enjoy. Expect no facility, but just parking.
