The next stop was the much-photographed Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado River, just downstream of Page, Arizona. Here our Oboz are on the cliff above the iconic bend in the river.
There were several hundred people there, almost a constant parade of tourists. When we first got to the rail, I was watching them stand up on the rock and walk to the very edge of the deep precipice, and either lift their cell phone for a selfie, or ham it up for a photo taken by friends. I got a few shots and then had to leave--I did NOT want to see one of them go over the edge. Luckily, nobody did. We had a great time and got many photos of our own.

| Everybody's got a camera. Everybody, it seems, but the lady on the right... |
 |
| People making me nervous. The person in the white shirt is on the edge of a steep drop. I saw more than one person standing there, hamming it up for their friends holding a camera... |
 |
| Another view of the visitor's area. I love the old couple next to the rail, the lady with her selfie stick! |
 |
| Donna hamming it up for the camera. She's close to the edge, but it's not the steep drip into the river... |
 |
| More hamming for the camera. All it would take is a crack in the sandstone and she'd have a very long time to think before she hit the water or rocks below... |
