Drive northeast on US-93 for about 2.5 hours (160 miles) to the Horseshoe Bend Trailhead near Page, Arizona. Alternatively, take a direct shuttle or book a guided tour from Las Vegas. The closest airport is McCarran International (LAS). Use GPS for precise directions to the parking area.

Question 2

Is there an entrance fee to visit Horseshoe Bend?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a $10 per person entrance fee at the Horseshoe Bend parking area. Credit cards are accepted. No America the Beautiful or other federal passes are valid here, as the site is managed by the City of Page, not the National Park Service.

Question 3

What is the best time of day to visit Horseshoe Bend to avoid crowds and heat?

Visit at sunrise or late afternoon to avoid peak heat and crowds. Midday brings strong light and high temperatures, especially in summer. Weekdays are less busy than weekends. Bring water, sun protection, and wear sturdy shoes for the 1.5-mile round-trip hike.

Question 4

Can I visit Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon in one day?
