Is there a better way to spend Sunday??
Located within a few hours drive from Las Vegas is this horseshoe shaped meander of the Colorado River. After a bit of a hike, we got to see the horseshoe bend. What an astounding beauty it was!

Also extremely nerve-wracking because it is a merciless 1000 feet drop from the canyon cliffs, and there are no rails at the edge of the cliffs. Being acrophobic made it worse! But it is an experience of a lifetime and I’m glad I mustered all of my courage (I have very little of it), prayed all the Gods in the world (although I believe there is only God) and peeked at the formation of the horseshoe bend among the deep gorges.

To get an elaborate view of the horseshoe bend, I lay down on my stomach and literally crawled on the canyon to reach the edges. The only thing I hoped is, the cliffs were strong enough to hold my weight. And here I was, literally at the edge of a 1000 feet high cliff with my palms sweating (literally!).
