Horseshoe Bend is one of those rare places that is absolutely breathtaking, yet it is accessible to people of all hiking skill levels. A very short hike off a highway takes you to the top of a cliff overlooking Horseshoe Bend and the Colorado River over 1100 feet below.
The Richland Bend Habitat Management Unit is ironically located in West Pasco even though Richland is across the Columbia River. A strange naming occurrence for sure. Either way, the fall colors were looking amazing after a little rain!

I was amazed at the lengths some photogs were going to hang over the edge and get this shot... I wasn't so keen hence the rocks in the foreground! In any case, it is a beautiful place. If you need a sense of scale, look for the boat and tent on the beach.

Horseshoe Bend es una especie de meandro inciso en forma de herradura del río Colorado ubicado cerca de la ciudad de Page, Arizona, Estados Unidos.
My version of Horseshoe Bend located outside of Page, Arizona. It is only a 3/4 mile hike from the parking lot, but in 110 degree heat, it felt like miles.
Sunset at Horse shoe Bend. The overlook is 4,200 feet (1,300 m) above sea level, and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet (980 m) above sea level, making it a 1,000-foot (300 m) drop

Ballast loads get lined into Wagon Mound siding for a meet with the eastbound Chief. If not for the modern GEs and hi-vis vests, this could almost be a scene from the '90s when freights ran regularly on Santa Fe's Raton Sub.
If you have never shot Oxbow or Schwabacher's or Mesa Arch at first light, you're in for a treat. This is what it looks like on a midweek morning in October. It gets more hectic in July.
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.
Visitors to Horseshoe Bend know the challenge of photographing the Colorado River as it winds around Glen Canyon near Page, Arizona. On an earlier trip I photographed the Canyon using a Sigma 10mm lens producing a single RAW file. Looking for a better approach this trip, I decided to try a four-image panorama--a risky venture because the Canyon is 1000' vertical drop from my vantage point and holding the camera level (no tripod) was difficult.
Although not completely satisfied, I do favor this multiple-image pano to my earlier shots. I suspect every photographer struggles with the laws of physics and the unique trade-offs that ensue. Horseshoe Bend is just that way!

Sun sets over the horizon at Horseshoe bend.
This was the first place I visited after buying my first DSLR and it continues to be one of my favorite places.
I had a chance to visit it again during a recent trip to Arizona and Utah. The image is very similar to the one I took a couple of years ago, but the composition is better on this one as I was able to find a spot which allowed me to see the full curve of the river. Still hoping to catch it with some nice clouds and colorful sunset some day. Maybe next time.
Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River, about four miles or 6 km southwest of Page, Arizona. Accessible via a ½-mile (0.8 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.
