I have recently visited Horse Shoe Bend, a stunning natural wonder located in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Arizona. As the name suggests, the bend of the mighty Colorado river forms a shape resembling a horseshoe which is a magnificent sight to witness. The panoramic view of the bend from the steep cliffs is breathtaking. The geological rock formations and the colorful hues of the canyon are a visual treat. I also learned about the ecological significance of the Glen Canyon and how the area is protected by law from any kind of development or exploitation. Horse Shoe Bend is truly a magnificent spectacle of nature.
