Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States. The bend is locally known as "King Bend." 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 ¾-mile (1.2 km) hike from U.S. Route 89, it can be viewed from the steep cliff above. According to Google terrain maps, the overlook is 4,200 feet above sea level and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet above sea level making it a breathtaking 1,000 foot drop.

This is another shot from my time in Big Bend National Park in Texas. This is sunset at one of the many rock formations in the park along the scenic drive down to Santa Elena Canyon. I believe the light grey hills are actually ancient volcanic ash. The dark colored rocks scattered about the hills really made for some interesting contrast at this location.

I focus stacked 4 images for depth of field, and 1 of those and another shot were for dynamic range in the sky, for a total of 5 exposures. Three shots at 1 second, one shot at .4 second, and another at 1/6th second.

For at least 12,000 years, until the winter of 1824, the Bend area was known only to Native Americans who hunted and fished there. That year, members of a fur trapping party led by Peter Skene Ogden visited the area. John C. Frémont, John Strong Newberry, and other Army survey parties came next. Then pioneers heading farther west passed through the area and forded the Deschutes River at Farewell Bend.

Horseshoe Bend, Page, Arizona
I've always wanted to shoot Horseshoe Bend, which is part of the Colorado River Valley and located within Grand Canyon National Park near Page, Arizona. It's just one of those iconic shots that every landscape photographer seems to have, it's an amazing location and scene, and frankly, I was a bit tired (or perhaps jealous) admiring everyone else's great shots and not having one of my own. Fortunately, I got the opportunity to visit "the Bend" during my recent trip to the Southwest with Kevin Benedict and Sky Matthews.
Despite seeing literally hundreds of shots of from Horseshoe, I was not prepared for just how close you needed to get to the edge of the cliff to get the shot and just how sheer a drop off it really is - literally a thousand feet straight down despite what appears in the pictures to be a gentle slope off the edge. Making matters even more precarious was that the ground was still covered in snow which had become icy after several days of melting and refreezing. Needless to say, I was quite apprehensive as I approached the edge of the cliff (which has no rails for safety) to set up for my shot. In the end, I think my shot was well worth the effort (its pretty high up there among my list of personal favorites). That said, as I type this description, I am admittedly a bit queasy recalling my hour or two on the lip of the Bend. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do. Thanks for looking!

A different view than my last posting. This photo was taken at 21 mm vs. 14 mm which makes it less wide but also make things appear a bit closer. It was taken from a different location and is also framed differently.
The clouds provided by a recently passed storm soften the light at the Horseshoe Bend created by the erosion of the Colorado River. The site is located near Page, AZ and is upstream of the Grand Canyon and shortly downstream of the the Glen Canyon Dam that forms Lake Powell. As with other sites, people endanger themselves by doing such things as sitting on the edge of the cliffs which rise about 1,000 ft above the river.

Oxbow Bend is beautiful in the morning light. But I think it's even prettier in full sun in the fall.
This is the first place I headed to as I came to Grand Teton NP. I'm glad I did, the trees seemed to be glowing in the sunlight. This is a two shot panorama.
A TRRA yard job is pulled across the V&C Belt at Big Bend for headroom with the 308/3008 slug set for power. Remnants of the Illinois Terminal's Venice High Line over the south end of Madison Yard can be seen in the trees in the background.
