Just outside of Page, Arizona, the Colorado River doubles back on itself to form a horseshoe-shaped bend, upriver from the Grand Canyon. The river is within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, but the parking lot is technically within the city limits of Page. If you’re recreating around Lake Powell or taking a tour of Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe bend is a quick and easy side trip.
The ruins of a nineteenth century U.S. army fort. A harbinger of change in the region, the fort was a distribution hub for many of the smaller forts throughout the southwest, supplying the American military while it enforced its will on Native Americans. Later, a earthworks star fort was constructed on site to defend against confederate soldiers during the civil war. A one mile long trail winds through the remaining adobe-style walls of the old fort.
Perhaps the most photogenic state park in the United States (after Niagara Falls), the Glad Creek Grist Mill looks like it was plucked straight from a storybook. The wood sided mill, the stone abutments of the bridge over the creek, the rusted water wheel, and the burbling rapids make it nearly impossible to take a bad picture. Merely 100ft away is a set of cascading waterfalls. Besides being your typical state park with camping, fishing, hiking, and boating, there isn’t a lot to do here, besides enjoy the sights of the mill and Glade Creek. The park itself isn’t necessarily worth a trip to (Nearest city is Charleston, WV, 67miles away) but a myriad of attractions along the way make this a great addition to a Saturday getaway.
