Hit up Coconino County for the ultimate canyon adventure 🌵🌄 — serious jaw-dropping views and wild horse encounters await! Horseshoe Bend is the main event (don’t miss the iconic river curve for insane Instagram shots!) and the rugged 9 Mile Camps promise pure desert feels. My top tip: the grandeur of the canyon will blow your mind, so charge your phone/camera — every turn is a postcard.
Top Spots to Visit:
1. Horseshoe Bend (US-89, Page, AZ 86040, open daily 05:30-19:30): Easy-to-access, bucket-list curves, sunrise/sunset magic! Bring water, and don’t underestimate the desert sun.
2. Horse – Herradura (VFHQ+JV, Page, AZ 86040): Saddle up for guided rides — get close to nature and snag canyon views you can’t get anywhere else!
3. 9 Mile Camps (Marble Canyon, AZ 86036): Camping spot vibes are strong! If you love quiet and stars, pack some snacks and enjoy the night sky.
4. Deer Spring Canyon Tours (VF9W+C64, Page, AZ 86040): Journey deeper with expert guides for hidden springs and secret corners. Dress for dust and adventure!
Travel hacks:
🚗 Car is your best friend here — public transit is super limited. Book ahead on trip.com for any excursions to guarantee your spot.
🥤 Pack water, snacks, and a hat; shade is scarce and walking is real!
💵 Carry cash for smaller tour spots and gas stations.
🍔 For eats, hit up local grills in Page for BBQ and burgers — nothing fancy, super filling after canyon hikes.
🌦️ Weather flips fast—bring a light jacket even in summer.
