美西南巨环之旅（十二）马蹄湾Horseshoe Bend
纪念碑谷出来向东行驶，下一个景点是个非常特别的地方。马蹄湾（Horseshoe Bend）是科罗拉多河（Colorado River）在亚利桑那州境内的一截U形的河道，也是格兰峡谷（Glen Canyon）其中的一小段。在悬崖峭壁的峡谷中，科罗拉多河于此处神奇地拐了一个270度的大弯，弯曲的河流在眼前就像一个巨大的马蹄铁掌造型，加上一座巨大凸出的红色岩山特别显眼，其形状宛如一只神马的巨蹄，所以称为“马蹄湾”，也有人叫它科罗拉多河的大拐弯。
马蹄湾中峡谷岩山的土质因含大量的铁和锰金属，在阳光下闪耀着美丽的金属红色。而切出这个湾的科罗拉多河是翡翠般的绿色，红色的土和绿色的河相得益彰，从颜色上来说非常赏心悦目。从89号公路附近的停车场徒步一英里左右可以抵达蹄铁湾，陡峭的悬崖上方是最佳观景位置。悬崖上方的海拔为4,200英尺，科罗拉多河海拔3,200英尺，落差达1,000英尺。在悬崖顶突出的岩石上，慢慢地爬向悬崖边，将头探出岩石边缘时，马蹄湾峡谷的雄伟气势何等震撼人心。这里也是美国西部风光当中最受摄影爱好者青睐的地方之一。
