Horseshoe Bend and The Four Corners were some of the top things on our list. We had seen so many pictures of Horseshoe bend that we had to see it up close and personal. So we decided to take the trek out, stopping at Horseshoe Bend first and then the Four Corners. In total it was 7-8 hours of driving the majority through the Hopi and Navajo reservations! Everyone, at least once in their lifetime, should drive through this area. Beautiful beyond words but also plagued by extreme poverty.
Horseshoe bend for those who aren't familiar is on the Colorado River and is in Page AZ. It's extremely popular so consider picking an 'off' time when you go. Also, keep in mind that depending on the time of day your pictures will come out differently! There's a great website that explains the best times to go depending on what kind of pictures you want. You can find the link to that website here.
Besides the Grand Canyon Horseshoe bend was one of the most crowded places we went! Everyone had the same idea as us. We ended up breaking away from the mass of people and walked along the edge. Doing this was one of the best ideas we had. We had a section to ourselves and it was wonderful.
From our secluded spot- all the other tourists!
Horseshoe bend was an awesome way to start our day and the four corners was a great way to finish it.
