Lake Powell is fed by the Colorado River, which Horseshoe Bend is a part of. However, the two bodies of water are separated by the Glen Canyon Dam so you can’t just take the river down from Horseshoe Bend all the way to Lake Powell. Still, the two places are very close and it’s easy […]
While Sedona isn’t as warm as Phoenix, it’s still in the middle of the desert, so you should be prepared for some heat. In the winter, Sedona experiences mild weather, typically reaching the 50s during the day and getting down to the 30s at night. If you’re not a warm-weather person, we’d recommend visiting either […]
There are no private beaches on Maui, so the public has access to all Maui beach parks on the island. Hawaii law states that all land below the high tide mark is automatically owned by the state, so even beaches next to private homes are still open to the public. However, you can’t cross private […]
Unfortunately, you can’t hike down to the bottom of Horseshoe Bend from the overlook. The cliffs are too steep and there’s no way to safely make your way down to the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon. However, you can experience the curve from the bottom if you travel along the river itself. […]
The only national park on the island of Maui is Haleakalā National Park on the island’s eastern corner. However, there are plenty of other Maui beach parks on the island. Haleakalā is a 52-square-mile park surrounding a dormant volcano of the same name. The name “Haleakalā” is Hawaiian for “house of the sun,” and refers […]
The drive from Sedona to the Grand Canyon takes about two hours if you go straight there, making it perfect for a day trip. That being said, you might find yourself taking longer since there are so many beautiful places to stop along the way. If you don’t mind adding about 15 minutes to your […]
It would be hard to pick one single spot we like best on the Million Dollar Highway in Colorado, but Uncompahgre Gorge is certainly one that comes to mind. The highway will take you along the side of a cliff high above the gorge itself, which was created over centuries by the flow of the […]
Driving in and around Sedona does have some challenges, but it’s no harder than most other desert communities. As long as you pay attention, especially at night, you should have no problems reaching and driving through the city. If you’re coming from the Phoenix area, then the main road into Sedona is I-17. The interstate […]
Kama’ole Beach Park is one of the most beautiful spots in Maui, with several gorgeous beaches. The first two, Kama’ole I and Kama’ole II, are the largest and are considered to be two of the best places on the island for swimming. The beaches are separated by sections of jagged rock, so be careful if […]
Horseshoe Bend is a popular tourist destination for its spectacular views, but it’s also a great example of a pretty interesting geological phenomenon. The bend in question is a 270-degree curve where the Colorado River essentially doubles back on itself, creating a horseshoe shape. This kind of path is called an “incised meander,” and it […]
