Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near Page, Arizona. This scenic spot is a popular destination for tourists and photographers, who travel from all over the world to visit it.
Horseshoe Bend is also known as Redwall Caverns, due to its red sandstone walls. It’s famous for its sweeping views of the surrounding area, including Antelope Canyon and Lake Powell.
If you’re heading to Lake Powell, it’s easy to find. The lake is located in the Glen Canyon National Recreational Area of northern Arizona and southern Utah, straddling the border between both states. It’s named for explorer John Wesley Powell, a one-armed Civil War veteran who surveyed the area in 1869.
The reservoir was created by building Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River near Page, Arizona. Construction began in 1956 and was completed ten years later at a cost of $375 million (which would be over $5 billion today). The dam impounds Lake Powell, which covers 186 miles of shoreline along with several hundred miles more upstream above various canyons where water levels are controlled by dams or gates.
