On the way from Gallup, NM to the Grand Canyon, we took a brief side trip to Horseshoe Bend. About 5 miles below Lake Powell, the Colorado River curves around the rocks and forms a horseshoe. We got out of our RV for the 3/4 mile walk and noticed it was about 110 degrees. We left the dogs in the air conditioned RV and all hiked out to the overlook. The view was stunning, and we could see kayakers on the river. Well worth the hike, even in the heat. Gypsy and Bella thanked us for leaving them in the cool RV. Off to the Grand Canyon!
