Description
It was during August 2020, the temperature was 104 in the late afternoon, desert heat. The normally blue skies were filled with smoke from the wildfires burning all over the west. Shooting into the sunset was going to be difficult. No matter, I have wanted to see the red rock of Horseshoe Bend for as long as I have known of its existence. I was going to see it and photograph it, because I may never have the opportunity again.
The hike while only about a half a mile was hot. So hot that down the viewing platform a woman passed out multiple times. But it was so worth it. Horseshoe Bend is located within a couple of mile of Page, Arizona after the Lake Powell dam.
