Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped cut in the slick rock walls formed by the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States. It is located slightly downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, about four miles or 6 km south of Page. Accessible via a 3/4-mile (1.2 km) hike from U.S. Route 89, it can be viewed from the steep cliff above. There are no access charges and great photo opportunities.
