Horseshoe Bend is quickly becoming one of the most iconic destinations in Arizona and the entire Southwest. Wondering if you should be one of the millions every year that gets to see this famous turn in the Colorado River? Here are 7 reason why you need to: 1.

These are the feelings and experiences that we travel for, making a trip to Horseshoe Bend a must stop for any traveler to Northern Arizona. 2.

Photos come out great there, and it is pretty easy for even the most amateur photographers to get great photos.
