From Wikipedia -
Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the
Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United
States. The bend is locally known as "King Bend." It is
located slightly downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell
within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, about four miles or 6 km
south of Page. Accessible via a 3⁄4-mile (1.2 km) hike from U.S. Route
89, it can be viewed from the steep cliff above. According to Google
terrain maps, the overlook is 4,200 feet above sea level and the
Colorado River is at 3,200 feet above sea level making it a
breathtaking 1,000 foot drop.
