The stunning Horseshoe Bend U-shaped curve

Horseshoe Bend is a U-shaped meander of the Colorado River located in Arizona, and it is a small part of the Grand Canyon. The huge rock formations surrounding the river bend resemble a horseshoe, hence the name "Horseshoe Bend." Some also call it the Great Bend of the Colorado River. Monument Valley is located on the Navajo Nation Reservation at the border of Arizona and Utah and is one of the ten most enchanting deserts in the United States. It has been a filming location for Hollywood Westerns such as "Forrest Gump" and "Transformers 4." The entire scenic area has no paved roads, and the natural roads are rugged and bumpy.
