Making memories one Bend at a time - Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, United States. It is also referred to as the "east rim of the Grand Canyon". Below the rim, the Colorado River makes a wide sweep around a sandstone escarpment. On its long downward journey to the sea, the river meandered, sometimes making wide bends, but always seeking the path of least resistance. Around 5 million years ago, the Colorado Plateau uplifted and the meandering rivers that crossed the ancient landscape were trapped in their beds. Over time, the rivers cut through the uplifted layers of sandstone.
My wife and I love to travel a lot. A decade or so ago, we went on a “Canyon Pilgrimage”. We covered a vast expanse of Southwest canyons - from Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon and Horse Shoe Bend in Arizona to Bryce, Zion and Monument Valley in Utah.
This was also the first trip post my investment in a Nikon DSLR. I was so pleased with the purchase that it let me capture the amazing beauty and the sheer grandeur of all these places.
