Horseshoe Bend Sunset

Horseshoe Bend Sunset - Arizona Horseshoe Bend Landscape I captured by climbing up to a spot over looking the hourseshoe bend out on a ledge where I was about a foot from the edge at sunset to get this amazing sunset. This spot along the river had a serious drop off so I dangle on the edge hoping not to fall and waited till the sun began to set to capture this amazing photo. The sun was sitting on the horizon over this amazing place along the colorado river in the desert southwest United States. The landscape in this area of arizona is incredible with its canyons, deserts and mountain terrain they are all so beautiful especially at sunset.It is accessible via hiking a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) round trip from U.S. Route 89, but an access road also reaches the geological structure, as it is part of a state park. Horseshoe Bend can be viewed from the steep cliff above. The overlook is 4,200 feet (1,300 m) above sea level, and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet (980 m) above sea level, making it a 1,000-foot (300 m) drop. The red rock walls of Horseshoe Bend contain a variety of minerals, among which are hematite, platinum and garnet. For more like this checkout our Desert Southwest images.
