Like always, I would stick with my trusty Chacos. Like I said, it’s super easy and can probably pretty easily be done in flip flops since it’s mostly sand.
There really isn’t a whole lot to say about the hike itself. There is a gradual incline in the beginning, but it starts to flatten out after that. It’s the wide-open sandy area that everyone else is heading down. Like I said, the Horseshoe Bend hike is something everyone should do eventually.įrom the parking lot, the trailhead is super easy to spot. I’m sure everyone has seen a picture of this at some time or another. There’s a pretty good chance, even if you don’t know it, that it’s on your bucket list. (edit June 2019 – there is now a $10 parking fee.) If you have a spare hour, you should definitely stop here. The Horseshoe Bend trail is a pretty easy hike and it’s right on the side of the road with no entrance fee. So, I went back through my pictures and decided to write about the Horseshoe Bend Hike now! Better late than never, right? I went on my first road trip through the southwest and only realized recently that I never actually wrote anything about it, like, at all.
Horseshoe Bend is just one of those places you need to go eventually, just like Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon, it’s on everyone bucket list. I get a small commission if you purchase through them at no extra cost to you.
