The hike to Horseshoe Bend overlook begins at the parking lot south of the Carl Hayden Visitor Center off US Highway 89 and takes about 40 minutes or less to trek. The trail is a 1.5-mile wheelchair, stroller, and kid-friendly out-and-back trail.
That means the Horseshoe Bend trail is a single trail with the same start and end location. And you don’t have to worry about leaving your pets in the car. Dogs can tour the overlook with their owners on a leash.
