Take the 1.5-mile round-trip walk to Horseshoe Bend, one of the most spectacular viewpoints in Glen Canyon. From the overlook, stand approximately 1,000 feet above the Colorado River as it makes a dramatic 280-degree turn through the canyon—an unforgettable panorama of winding blue water, towering cliffs, and rugged desert scenery not to be missed. The walk to the overlook is slightly downhill, with a gentle uphill return.
