Horseshoe bend

close to page we also went to the horseshoe bend, which you can see above. you have to walk a bit through some flat desert, and then suddenly the ground is gone, and deep beneath you is water. water that has shaped out the middle rock, making it look like the water runs in horseshoe form around it. it was very pretty to see, and scary again, the cliff was so abrupt and deep. you really had to be careful, there were small slits, and some of the stones were just a little overhang, that could break off when standing upon it. the only way i dared to look down (and most others with me), was by sitting down. its funny what games your mind play when there is a depth beneath you. i took some pictures with my fisheye as well, the only way you could get the entire thing on the picture; quite cool! once i will post some pictures on flickr or something.....
its very cold here in utah, -11C or something!! we are about to take off for our final destination.....

There's more water down there than in the summer. Even though it's cold you can really bake during the warmer months, and the air quality is so much better. You picked a good time to go.
