Antelope Canyon / Horseshoe Bend FAQs
What is Horseshoe Bend, and where is it located?
Horseshoe Bend, located just a few miles outside Page, Arizona, is part of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This is perhaps the most iconic bend in the entire 1,450-mile route of the Colorado River – quite a statement considering the West’s great river flows through seven states and 11 national parks and monuments.
Here, the nation’s sixth largest river, which has carved through the West’s rocky topography for the past 5 million years, curves at perfect three-quarters of a circle around a sandstone peninsula, creating a 270º horseshoe-shaped bend that is 1,000 feet deep and visible from a cliff that's accessible via a short 0.6-mile hiking trail. However, you also can see it from the sky aboard a Papillon helicopter tour!
