Horse-Shoe Bend, Page

This is probably one of the best sights to uncover during early morning and afternoon. It is a horse-shoe shaped meander, formed by the Colorado river. This is on the US- Route 89, a very easy to miss sign. The hike is almost a mile to reach the edge of the viewing point. Watch out for colorful chameleons, snakes and venomous scorpions. A good hiking shoe and plenty of water is must to hike upon this trail.

You can also get to the bottom of this, by taking boat rides at lake Powell, which is equally splendid, however it is rather difficult to ascertain the horse-shoe shape of the meander thus formed.

A Colorful “PAGE”

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

One of the most scenic places on earth, sparsely inhabited and a rather popular tourist hub.

We have driven to Page a few times, from Phoenix and Flagstaff, only to uncover hidden and untouched beauty at every nook and corner of this small place. The drive itself, is very pretty, with changing and colorful landscapes. As you approach Page, the mountains and rocks appear orangish/red when illuminated by the sun’s rays. The deeper hues are visible during mid-day, making it look only more breathtaking.

There are plenty of things to do in this small city, from Trekking, Boating, Sight-seeing and of-course ample Photography.

Page has a relatively cooler climate than any other city in Arizona, since it is at an elevation. However, it does get arid and hot sometimes.

This place is best visited between the months of April and September, when the sun’s rays are at an optimum angle for viewing and taking the best photographs.

Watch out for my posts on various touristy things-to-do in Page.
