Horseshoe bend | page Arizona

A social media darling, Horseshoe Bend has become one of the most recognized and visited places in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The parking lot and trailhead is located off US Highway 89, approximately 5 miles (8 km) south of the Carl Hayden Visitor Center.
Changes are underway in this busy and beautiful place, including expanded parking and trail maintenance. Please respect construction closures. Much of the rim remains exposed, so watch your footing and keep track of children.
Hiking
The hike to the overlook is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) round-trip over a hardened path. The trail is accessible under the regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. There are two shade strctures along the length of the trail, but not at the overlook. There are railings at the edge of the overlook's viewing platform, but not along the trail.
As with any hike, be prepared with plenty of water, sturdy footwear, sunscreen, and other basic hiking essentials. Know that there is little shade along the Horseshoe Bend Trail. Avoid hiking during the hottest part of the day.
