How Cold is the Water at Horseshoe Bend?

The water at the bottom of Horseshoe Bend is the Colorado River, the same river that runs through the Grand Canyon. The temperature of the water in Colorado averages around 50 degrees Fahrenheit year-round, so we wouldn’t necessarily recommend swimming in it. However, taking a kayak, canoe, or raft down the river is a great […]

In the summer, we’d recommend wearing any comfortable warm-weather clothing for your visit to Horseshoe Bend. The walk isn’t especially strenuous or long, so you don’t have to worry too much about hiking gear. The sun, however, can be pretty brutal in Page during the summer, with temperatures generally in the 80s and 90s and […]

Is Horseshoe Bend in the Grand Canyon?

Horseshoe Bend is often referred to as the “east rim” of the Grand Canyon because of its proximity and impressive depth. While Horseshoe Bend is close to a two-hour drive from the Grand Canyon itself, the Colorado River runs through both places, connecting them. While it’s technically possible to squeeze trips to the Grand Canyon […]

Horseshoe Bend, AZ is open to any member of the public from sunrise until sunset every day. There is a short trail leading to the overlook, about 10 or 15 minutes, but it’s paved and very easy for even the least athletic hiker. That’s part of what makes Horseshoe Bend so popular as a tourist […]

In general, we’d recommend taking the short hike out to Horseshoe Bend in the morning or at midday. Around noon is nice because the sun shines directly down into the canyon, illuminating the whole thing nicely. However, if you’re worried about crowds, the morning is probably a better option. If you arrive early enough, you’ll […]

You don’t need to make a reservation to visit Horseshoe Bend, although it’s a popular location and does get pretty crowded. We’d recommend visiting early in the morning if you want to avoid having to jockey for a spot with other tourists. The hike out to the canyon overlook is short and easy for hikers […]

Horseshoe Bend is an extremely popular destination for tourists, so it’s probably best to visit during the off-season. Visiting in the fall or winter will help you avoid both the crowds and the heat since Arizona gets pretty warm during the summer. During December and January, temperatures drop all the way down to the 40s, […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]
