With the temperature hitting a constant 110°F/43°C this summer (pretty normal for Arizona summers), we had a somewhat spur of the moment mini-weekend getaway to the much cooler White Mountains. We wanted to see trees! Grass! Water! So it was off to Pinetop-Lakeside for us!

With the North Rim of the Grand Canyon being so close to Page, I implored my husband to let us stop at Horseshoe Bend before heading back south. It is just outside of the city of Page, with a small parking spot on the side of the road. Once parked, it’s a 3/4th mile trail to the Horseshoe Bend view point.
The beauty of Horseshoe Bend. We can now cross this off of our Arizona To Do list!
There were quite a number of visitors when we went. Hold on to any young ones as there aren’t any railings and seeing the sheer drop when peeping over the edge is enough to make your heart skip a beat.

Last year under one of the brightest full moons, a group of us hiked the Pima Canyon Trail. While it was fairly bright, the dark shadows that were cast everywhere were a little spooky. On Sunday, we decided to do this hike again (during the day this time) since it’s fairly close.
Near the trail head, the trip starts by taking you under a bridge.
