The Work Around
This was my second time to this viewpoint...Horseshoe Bend in Page, AZ. My oldest daughter hasn't seen this area before so we decided to take an afternoon out from Zion NP to drive about an 1.5 hours to take it all in. She wasn't as impressed as much as I thought she might be. Oh well. We spent about 45 min there, it was really hot, and took some shots before heading over to Lake Powell as I hadn't seen that area before. I kept telling myself that I wanted a sunset shot from here someday but that all got the ax when the Navajo Nation area basically closed everything because of the Covid virus. I hope they are doing well down there. Maybe someday I will back back in that area but I believe it will be several years from now.
As far as the shot, I actually took one with my phone with two boats coming around the bend and I failed to get it with my Canon camera. If you do look close though, at the bottom of the curve is a boat that is docked. It's on the top of the bend at the bottom. Talk about scale.
