Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Page Arizona


We visited Horseshoe Bend early morning as we were leaving the city of Page Arizona. It is a 1.5 mile roundtrip hike to see the overlook. Some of this area is on the Navajo Nation, we paid for the parking to the City of Page. There are restrooms available on the parking lot. The Horseshoe Bend overlooks the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon National Park is only 9 miles downstream. 

































Thanks for visiting! Take care, have a great day!

Arizona April 20-29th, 2024

 Arizona 20-29th, 2024


On April 20 hubby and I flew from Baltimore-Washington Airport to Phoenix Arizona, it was a fly-drive trip. Arriving in Phoenix we picked up our rental car and drove 6 hours to Page Arizona for the start of our vacation. Thinking back on this it was a mistake to fly for 5 plus hours and then drive for another 6 hours with little to eat.  April 21st, our first full day in Page, we had reservations for the Upper Antelope Canyon tour. Hubby had a low blood sugar episode before he could eat breakfast. He was fine after the EMT's, hotel worker Suzie and a guest who was a nurse checked him over and the orange juice was very helpful. So, I ended going on the tour and hubby stayed back at the hotel resting. 

We reserved a Navajo guided tour through the slot canyon called Upper Antelope Canyon 

It was nice they refunded my hubby's ticket price since he could not make the tour.  It was upsetting since it was a highlight of the vacation for me and hubby. Below are some photos from the tour, the tour was only a total of 3/4 mile walk.

If rafting on the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon National Park is just 16 miles below the tailwaters of the Glen Canyon Dam. It does take longer to drive the 141 miles from Glen Canyon Dam to the Grand Canyon NP.
