Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped incised meander. This is the place where we can see the Colorado River make a U-Turn shape. The rock walls along Horseshoe Bend contain a variety of different minerals. Some of which includes platinum, hematite and garnet. The overlook of the Horseshoe Bend is about 4,200 feet above sea level, and the Colorado River is about 3,200 feet above sea level, which makes it a 1,000-foot drop. . . . . . #horseshoebend #glenncanyon #overlook #coloradoriver #arizonacanyons #grandcanyonnationalpark (at Horseshoe Bend Canyon, Arizona, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZt0OLElLfB/?utm_medium=tumblr
