By turns mountainous and arid, urban and spacious, Arizona has some of the most breathtaking sights in the world. The Southwestern state has nearly 7 million people, but nearly two thirds of them live in the metropolitan area of its capital, Phoenix. That leaves a lot of space for some amazing and pristine natural wonders.

Horseshoe Bend is located within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where the Colorado River takes a majestic, hairpin turn and doubles back on itself. It’s a sweeping, dramatic vista, as you look down upon the spot where the river has eroded away 1,000 feet, from rim to riverbed.
