Seemed I could jump down on top of the tourist boat on the river below.
En route to Paria Canyon, I took the short walk from highway US89 to dangle my feet off the cliffs of Horseshoe Bend, surely one of the most incredible vistas in the world.
This oxbow in the Colorado River is just downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam, a few miles from the tourist centre of Page, Arizona.

I have stood right above that same horseshoe bend, Rick — about 4 Septembers ago. The view is literally breathtaking. As I recall, the area was crazy with spotted and collared lizards.
Wonderful place, Russ.
Here, end of October, there is nary a lizard to be found. I guess when the insect population drops they hibernate.
