Horshoe Bend - An Icon

Like many others, I have trekked in the dark from the parking lot to the canyon edge to capture the sunrise at Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River in Arizona, and was it worth it? Absolutely! Surprisingly, the most beautiful portion of the sunrise is actually short and fleeting. It occurs when the rising suns’ rays reflect inside the canyon just before the sun itself has risen over the horizon. It's often those fleeting moments of natural beauty that leave the most lasting impressions.
