If that’s the case at the time of your visit, you’ll be asked to come back later. Still, the Horseshoe Bend parking lot does fill up from time to time.
Since the new Horseshoe Bend parking lot opened and began charging entrance fees, there has been a substantial reduction in traffic accidents, and fewer calls to the local police department to ticket folks that park on the shoulder of US89 illegally. Other improvements included public restrooms, a small shade pavilion, and a safety platform with railings. įortunately, the City of Page constructed an expanded parking area in 2018 with designated parking spots for the hundreds, sometimes thousands, of family cars, RV’s, and tour buses that visit the overlook by on a daily basis. It’s hard for us locals to believe that in the space of less than 20 years, what was once an obscure but stunning overlook that the majority of visitors passed by on their way to bigger things (namely, the Grand Canyon), has risen to the #1 position on TripAdvisor’s list of 15 Best Things To Do in Page, Arizona. Let’s face it, any Northern Arizona vacation planner would have to have been living under a rock for the past year not to know how hairy the parking situation has gotten at Horseshoe Bend.
