Horseshoe bend, AZ (Trip to Arizona - Day 4)
We spent the previous night in a hotel near Lake Powell.
We got up in the morning hoping to visit the Horseshoe bend in Page, AZ. It was bit rainy but fortunately it didn't bother our horseshoe bend visit much. It was around 9 am when we visit horseshoe bend. We had to do little bit hiking to reach the view point from the vehicle park. The hike was scenic too.
We arrived at the view point and saw that there's no railing or anything to hold on. I believe it is not a very safe place for kids, specially toddlers. Down there, was Colorado river taking a bend in a shape of a horseshoe. That is one of the beautiful scenery I've ever experienced.
We had to leave the place soon as it started raining a bit heavily. The rain followed by a snow storm ruined our Day 4 of the trip. We had hoped to visit antelope canyon and Zion national park in Utah as well. Due to the snow storm, we decided to skip those and directly drive to Las Vegas, Nevada.
On the way to Vegas, the wipers of our SUV stopped working amidst of the snow storm. What a tragedy. We called budget and the only option they could offer was to switch another vehicle at their nearest branch. What they didn't offer is a way to get to the nearest branch. If they send a vehicle to pick us up, they'd charge for it. At this point we were totally disappointed on Budget rental as they own old, malfunctioning vehicles and the cold customer service.
However, we managed to drive a bit by bit at times the rain pauses. Switched vehicle for the 2nd time and drove to Las Vegas. Thank god, it was sunny there.
That night, walked a little along the strip, visited Bellagio water fountain and Fremont street.
