Horseshoe Bend and Monument Valley Part 1

Horseshoe Bend, just South of Page Arizona is on the Colorado River downstream of the Lake Powell Dam. The unfenced cliffs are 1,100 ft above the river down below. I wonder just how many of the "selfie" contingent are recipients of the Darwin Awards each year. It's frightening to get anywhere near the edge with them prancing and posing "Look at MEEEEEEE, I'm SO COOOOL" see how close I can get to the edge.



Heading North East for another couple of hours and 120 miles or so brings you to Monument Valley on Navaho Nation Tribal Land. The valley featured in many old Hollywood Western movies.
