HorseShoe Bend, AZ (GPS Coordinates - 36.880525 , -111.512223)

As Wikipedia states, "Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States". The bend happens to be one of the most photographed locations in the country.



It is quite easy to miss the sign on the road that points to the bend. A single sign board points to a deserted turn that eventually takes you to this beautiful location. It requires a lot of scouting to find the right location for a good photograph that covers the whole canyon. Also, one would require a wide angle lens to entirely cover the location and a lot of guts. 


There happens to be a small hike (about a mile) to reach the view point. 









The 1000 foot drop may be a little daunting for the acrophobic
