Really, really late bloomers to Antelope Canyon X. Prickly Pears blossoms hot pink flowers across the valley, excuse my boot in the shot.

Horseshoe Bend, near Page AZ
The "East Rim of the Grand Canyon."
There were tons of people when we came here, but if you don't mind some light climbing (really just scrambling) you can get up to a ridge where there's pretty much nobody! I've also heard there's canoe-accessible camping on the rivers edge here (that flat section below). I want to try that some day!

Going to Horseshoe Bend: A Traveler’s Guide
If you’ve seen pictures of Arizona, or even advertising USA travel in general, I’m almost certain you have seen the famous Horseshoe Bend.
If not, here it is!
Horseshoe Bend is where the Colorado River makes a giant sweeping horseshoe-shaped bend in the canyon. It’s a picturesque area on the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where you get a wide panoramic view of the Colorado River before it reaches the famous Grand Canyon – one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
I especially loved the clear turquoise water of the Colorado River below, which is not a color you typically see on the Colorado River.
Where is Horseshoe Bend, Arizona?
Horseshoe Bend is one of the top places to visit in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and is about 10 minutes away from the town of Page in northeast Arizona, close to the Utah border.
The parking lot is near the Horseshoe bend trailhead, which is located off US Highway 89, approximately 5 miles (8 km) south of the Carl Hayden Visitor Center.
Plenty of handicap-assessable parking is located near the trailhead.
Horseshoe Bend has become so busy, the best time to visit is early mornings or early afternoon. There is a fee of $10 per car to get in and there is plenty of parking. If there is no parking nearby, you can always take the shuttle, which costs $5 per person. Sunset is the busiest time as there will be hundreds of people trying to get a view of the sun setting behind the mountains to the west, so get here early to get a good spot to watch.
It is slightly less busy in the off-season – running from October through February. Spring or Autumn will have the best weather being neither too hot nor cold. It’s the desert so during summer there will be high heat and little shade.
June until September are considered the monsoon season, so you might even expect rainy (and even stormy) weather during this time of year.

An ominous wall, but if one to stand here and look up, one would see why this slot canyon is called Canyon X.

La Gorce Arch, Glen Canyon, Utah. With a two-decade-long drought gripping the western United States, water levels in Lake Powell have plummeted, particularly during the last two years. A silver lining to the water crisis: over 100,000 acres (40,000 ha) of Glen Canyon are now out from under the artificial lake, revealing natural wonders such as La Gorce. As the waters retreat, a flood of flora and fauna is appearing at a pace greater than scientists anticipated, which brings hope for the restoration of one of America’s lost natural wonders—Glen Canyon. Follow me as I continue to explore stories surrounding the Colorado River Basins. #hvscofficial #glencanyon #arizona #lakepowell #coloradoriver #glencanyonnationalrecreationarea #hiking #desert #travel #horseshoebend #glencanyondam #canyon #nature #page #usa #explore #grandcanyon #az #pagearizona #lake #roadtrip #antelopecanyon #nationalpark #photography #adventure #pageaz #naturephotography #lovelife #dam #wanderlust https://www.instagram.com/p/CoWlvvPJ6E8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Scenic drive through Arizona scenic routes and a quick stop at the Horseshoe Bend, from our last year's (2021) long camping/road trip. Check out the different colors and shapes of these beautiful rocky mountains and formations.
