You’ll begin your journey in the parking area for Horseshoe Bend. From there, all you need to do is follow the ¾-mile path toward the canyon itself.

Along the way, you’ll hear about the mighty Colorado River's early days, when it was little more than a meandering river on a floodplain. As you walk, you’ll find out how that floodplain transformed into the soaring plateau we know today and how that violent geologic event created Horseshoe Bend.

You’ll also get details about the area’s human history, like how it passed from the Navajo to the hands of the US Government.

Finally, you’ll arrive at Horseshoe Bend itself, where multiple viewing platforms offer jaw-dropping views of this unique landmark. Don’t forget to take plenty of pictures. Your tour of Horseshoe Bend concludes here.

Also included with your ticket is a driving tour of Page, the town where Horseshoe Bend is located. This tour begins at the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook, where you can get phenomenal views of the dam, which is the whole reason for the town’s existence.

From there, you’ll head north to a collection of breathtaking trails full of great desert vistas. Then it’s on to the dam itself, where you’ll have the opportunity to get out of your car and actually walk over the immense structure.

Then, you’ll head to Wahweap Overlook, which offers a stunning view across Lake Powell. Your tour concludes here.
