Horseshoe Bend by redy4et

Horseshoe Bend

This is another example of the majestic scenery of the Southwestern U.S. About 5 million years ago, the Colorado River created this 1000-foot-deep “meander” that resulted in the horseshoe-shaped bend that can be viewed in Arizona’s Glen Canyon National park. I had always wanted to see it and we were fortunate to arrive on a clear day with only a few dozen onlookers. You can see a boat on the river on the left.
Elizabeth, did you hang your feet over the edge? Really nice capture of a really cool place. You were fortunate to be there when it wasn't crowded. The 2 times I have been there it has been crowded.

@cwbill I didn’t hang anything over the edge-it was a 1,000-foot drop!

Beautiful, very impressive.

Nicely captured. I hear they now have railings put up all around the top. When I was there, my husband made me so nervous getting so close to the edge trying to capture the entire round of water.

@lynne5477 Now it’s got one area with railings but mostly it’s still open rocks and bluffs with a straight nerve wracking drop over the edge.
