Horseshoe Bend
5 minutes
Superheated rock in the earth’s mantle pushed the crust upward with such force that it cracked. A 240,000 square mile chunk of it was thrust upward. That’s the Colorado Plateau we’re standing on today. All of this happened in the blink of an eye — well, geologically speaking. To us, the transformation was agonizingly slow, taking hundreds of thousands of years.
Note: This 0.2+mile-long tour covers the essentials of Horseshoe Bend in 1-2 hours
