The first time we had ever gone out West was about 15 yrs ago to Las Vegas. We went to Red Rock Canyon. We were awe struck. America is truly beautiful.

Beautiful blue sky with nicely patterned cloud formations create an awesome backdrop to the magnificent colors of Horseshoe Bend Canyon. Thnx Russ. 👏

9:44 Hey, it's Dusty Nuggett's second-cousin, Krusty. Were those two women getting nervous that some stranger with a camera was following them on the trail, Russ? Just kidding! Pretty remarkable to think that just the right section of the rock was hard enough to prevent the river from simply blasting its way straight through, the Colorado being forced instead into the horseshoe configuration. Thanks for putting up with the heat, Russ, in bringing this natural gem to us armchair viewers, it is much appreciated.

Russ a big thank you for taking us along with you on your adventures I wish I could ride shotgun with you for a while. Stay forever free.

Those clouds over the Bend... Beautiful!!! No special effects necessary.

Thanks Russ, for braving the heat so we could see this iconic sight! Even the clouds were beautiful.

Hey Russ thanks so very much for taking us with you on this amazing adventure this horse shoe Bend is incredible I seen it when I was a little girl. ❤❤❤

Russ my wife and I are from Phoenix, we move to Arkansas in 1977, it's really nice to see desert again Thanks

Beautiful..Gods creation

As others have said, the experience used to be VERY different. In 2018 there was no sign by the highway, no entrance station, and no fee. There was no pavement, just a gravel road from the highway to a dirt/gravel parking lot. The only amenities were a few trash cans and five vault toilets. Sometimes the lot was packed full and people parked on the edge of the highway (dangerous). From the parking lot the trail went straight up and over the hill rather than around it and in places was sandy or rough---impossible for wheelchairs, walkers, or crutches. The return hike over the hill was not fun. What you show is a vast improvement, long overdue and worth every penny of the $10 fee. July is too hot: March or April is much better. But what a view! Stay safe!

All I can say is THANK YOU!!,

Russ! Our bucket list is going to be 10 pages long by the time this virtual vacation is over, lol! Another great place to visit. Thanks for sharing! Safe travels! Joanne

Thank you! Added Horseshoe Bend to our travel bucket list!👍👍👍😊

Hi--I really enjoy your virtual trips. My husband I used to travel in a class A motorhome--I was always holding the video camera to my eye-- Some of your visits bring memories--others like Horse Shoe bend are new to me. Thanks so much for sharing. Brings many good memories. Plus, I do not handle heat well- so thank you for "taking the heat" for me! Ha!!

why are my comment lines crossed out???

I got to hand it to you. I couldn't make that walk in that heat. Beautiful Arizona. Thanks

Went back in February and they were just putting the finishing touches on the new trail. Nice to see it all done. Looking forward to go back in about a month or so.

AWESOME...!!! Thanks for taking us. Kinda feel like I should go walk around outside in the TX heat while watching on my phone just in sympathy! Too bad about shotgun cam, my wife is worried about you using the handheld, she always tells me..."keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel" Great song also. Take care, be safe.

Afternoon Russ!! Travel safe sir👍

Thanks Russ another great one can't wait to get out there again someday I can feel the heat especially when it's 90 something degrees here in NE PA stay safe

I was thinking it looks hot! Then you said "It's hot, hot hot!" Thanks for sharing your adventures. We so appriciate all you do!

thank you for all the comments and support

I was there 2016, at that time there was no paved entrance or parking and no entrance fee and no observation deck area! The trail to the view was a lot more primative also.

Thanks again for taking to see this. Awesome. My pop has one of those 4 wheel scooters that comes apart into 4 pieces and maybe the battery to. Its meant to be taken apart and placed in the back of the car. Does not take up but about 1/3 or less of trunk. It can go 9 to 10 miles on a charge. Till I saw that lady on your path I never gave those things a second thought. WELL I thought about it now and when I go on about seeing the country again soon I'll be thinking about taking the scooter along for the ride. Sure would make a excursion like today a lot more comfortable and maybe feel cooler with feeling the breeze. Used these things are almost being given away. Anyway, the shotgun cam had it's place. I really like where your driving cam sits behind the wheel, but when you popped up the shotgun cam it made me feel that I was sitting inside like I wanted with dash and cameras in my view. My thinking was shotgun cam was not meant to replace driving cam but rather to expand the experience by letting us be behind the scenes a bit more. Maybe put a water bottle in the view along with dash and camera would help build the set or scene a bit. All that and a bag of chips and I would feel I am right there if only for 15 seconds.... grin Your doing just fine Russ no matter what you are doing. So have fun, I think I will miss hearing you say "shotgun" ;)

I was there in 1999. No money to enter. No rails. No nothing. Maybe two other people at the same time. It was July and hot!!!!

Stuck in lockdown here in Melbourne Australia. Your videos are a great escape, thanks!

I was there on 7/18/2020 with my family. and Also Glen Canyon Dam overlook and visitor center. And swam in the Lake Powell. We dove from high rock to the lake - can you imagine how deep the water is? I really enjoyed your videos.

Can't help it, I really enjoy your videos so much, like if I were there! 😍😍😍!!! Such beautiful places I hope to visit sometime in the future. BTW, you really walk fast, I've noticed that in your videos as well. That's good, it means you're in great shape. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Talk soon! 👍👍👍

Hey Russ!! You hit a "HOMERUN" !! WOW what a "VIEW"!! Thank you!!!...Be Safe!!

Awesome views. Thanks for the virtual vacation 😀. Stay safe

Another item to add to my bucket list - Horseshoe Bend. So very appreciative of you filming in this heat and sweating your socks off to give us a view. Thanks Russ ⭐⭐⭐

PS: Geez, I forgot to mention that the Virtual Vacation Tour 2020 is fabulous!!!

Love Horseshoe Bend! Saw it once from above about five years ago which made me want to paddle the river below. I've done that three times now and can't wait to do it again! ❤️

Spectacular view! I appreciate you showing this to us. Yes, it's hot! It makes the walk seem longer. I'd definitely take my umbrella for shade, and a battery-operated fan too 😊😉! Loving the Virtual Vacation series Russ 🌅

Thank you for walking out there in the heat and for sharing it with us. Have you had opportunity to get a photo of two of the comet in the night or early morning sky?

To me views like that are more impressive than the Grand Canyon. It would be fabulous to go around that bend in a boat or canoe.

My kids kayaked horseshoe bend in June with their dad. They enjoyed it

It’s kind of funny because I knew that you would be not happy with the heat before you started ha ha 🤣🤣🤣

looks like smokey bear out on road be careful enjoy your videos

Wow, wow, wow an AWESOME site. Thank you for sharing. So far I am loving this virtual vacation. Each stop has been better than the next. Thank you Russ. Stay safe. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan

Wow! What a view! Page America! Wow!Excellent!Thanks!

My husband and I went to Horseshoe Bend last July. It was extremely HOT! We also went to Gooseneck Park in Utah. We liked it better. You only have to pay $5 & you can drive right up to the Bend. Pictures were just as good. You can even camp out there. It looks like they have added a new covered shelter that is much needed. Enjoy your videos!

Yes...the Goosnecks are good. Not as many people, and good as, if not better views. On the other highway though.

Hello Russ ,really great video .It was quite hot for you to walk down there to get the nice shot . Thank you for going the extra way . Take Care , SEE Ya . 👍👍😊😊✌👏

Oh good Russ now I can sit back and not have that side camera sticking in the back of my neck , just kidding Lol!😀 Thanks for showing Horseshoe Bend Outlook that was totally worth it.

Love the mountains,canyons and rock formations! 100 even sizzlin ouch!!

Great video Russ, thanks for the walk in all that heat, cool down and enjoy the drive.

🙋‍♀️Horseshoe Bend was picture postcard perfect! Beautiful day. I enjoyed seeing this Russ!👍

This is so cool to see.. I lived in Nevada and my gf is from AZ.. I want to see this in person

Russ that was really incredible! Ive never seen anything like that in person so thanks for taking me there with you! Be safe, see ya next time.

Good Evening Russ, Sure was cool to see Horseshoe Bend. I think it's high time you skiddattle down the road and get out of the heat! I do thank you for taking your time to show us these places. But now get us and you "outta" this hot weather and up to cooler country! See You Soon!

Beautiful! Thanks for the ride. Be safe!

Awesome Russ! Thanks for taking one for the team to bring us that spectacular view! Much appreciated!

Beautiful scenery.

i've never seen the river from that point of view. Incredible.

Wow! That is gorgeous!!

Nice video, good road trip

Love the USA, but stuck in Australia Locked down. your videos are a lifesaver, love it!

That view is on my bucket list and that list is getting looooong.

Russ I have been going to Lake Powell since I was four years old so basically 50 years If you want the adventure of a lifetime that’s the lake to go on!

We did horseshoe bend in 2017, you got lucky waiting! It didn’t have those paths it was a brutal up and down climb on sinking sand it almost killed me haha. There was no viewing area with fencing, I’m guessing they now charge because of the construction. Still as beautiful as ever.

Those views were impressive, Russ. That little coffin trailer at 2:45 was pretty cool too, it even had an air conditioner on it...

WOW! Beautiful!!!

Russ I have been riding shotgun with you since January and I haven't gotten car sick yet. When I traveled I would usually drive because if I didn't I slept and didn't get to see anything. I have enjoyed all the places you have let me tag along. That horseshoe bend was awesome. And no I would not rent my RV out either. Happy Trails/ Be Safe

Thank you for the videos. I can see I have a lot to catch up on from last year and 2021. 🤗

AMAZING!!

thanks Russ ! I really enjoyed seeing this place. I made a mental note to add this vista to my bucket list....but only in Fall or Spring..not in July !!!

Thanks for sharing! So many great places to visit out west! :)

OH!!! Thank you so much for taking me there!! I will have to check that out when I get out there!! :)

Thx Russ miss traveling hope we can go again in the winter

Russ my wife and I really enjoy your videos . You are very professional in putting together your videos and the country you are visiting is so beautiful . You are making us remember our trips that way . Stay safe and stay well . Thank you and we will be watching in future .

Thank you !!!!!!

Cool!

The $10 lot admission fee is assessed by the City of Page, AZ.

Was there in March. Was about 70 degrees. Didn't need water or an umbrella! Great time to go!

Love your “tip”: Bring an electric cart 🤣

Hi Russ! We stopped there a few weeks ago. Very cool!

A few years back, that was free but you had to climb that sandy slope right in the beginning and your shoes would get filled with sand. I think the improvements are worth the $10. Best to go sunrise or sunset when it's cooler and wear a hat! Happy travels!

This journey from Flagstaff to Page is exactly what my wife and I will be enjoying late next month. Very nice preview you're giving us!

Loved this!! Thanks Russ!!

That was cool. Definitely need to see that!

Thanks Russ!

We floated around that bend in a raft, back in 2000.

Awesome place, Thanks Russ

Wow, Russ! What an amazing view! Heck, I'd pay 10 bucks just for the view on the walk down. I'm curious, when you are parked and out exploring on a hot day, do you have the Fantastic fans running and exhausting the heat out of the van?

Thanks

That's awesome

Luv the scenery on this one!

Russ, I just took a picture of the Horseshoe Bend with my phone, and sent it to a friend, and she said it was beautiful. Thanks for the fun ride as always!

Great stop Russ. Horseshoe is beautiful. There is a similar area on the Green River at the Echo Park area in Dinosaur National Park. But you need to have 4wheel drive to get there.

went there twice in 2018. much better access now.. new pathway.. when i went it was sand,rocky and uneven pathway. but worth the walk.

Yet another terrific vid Russ. Lovin it and being in that big front seat with you on this journey. J

I love your reports and films Best regards from Austria👏👍 Edi

Your videos are like if bob Ross did travel videos. Two thumbs up

They were building the new plaza when we were there. Had to park a few miles down the road and take the bus up there. Remember the driver saying "Be careful when we get there. It is 3000(?) feet to the bottom if you fall. There will not be a rescue operation; it will be a recovery operation". Got most every bodies attention pretty quick.

Thank you so much for the wonderful videos you produce. I'm so excited. I'm starting out this spring and your videos on the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River and where I've been planning to start...
