The <strong>Colorado River<\/strong> has carved amazing formations and details into the rocks. Only a small part is open for visitors and going with a tour is obligatory &#8211; it is an Indian reservation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">While worth a visit, tour tickets are pricy and it feels like being loaded onto a cattle cart. Hundreds of tourists are channelled through a small pathway inside the canyon, with barely enough time to look at the scenery. The tour guides are doing a decent job but are not the friendliest of people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2897\" src=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/04\/img_3887.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3887\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3887.jpg 400w, https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3887-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2899\" src=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/04\/img_3901.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3901\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3901.jpg 400w, https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3901-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2900\" src=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/04\/img_3912.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3912\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3912.jpg 600w, https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3912-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2901\" src=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/04\/img_3921.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3921\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3921.jpg 400w, https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3921-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2902\" src=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/04\/img_3960.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3960\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3960.jpg 400w, https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3960-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2903\" src=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/04\/img_3964.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3964\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3964.jpg 400w, https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3964-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2904\" src=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/04\/img_3991.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3991\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3991.jpg 400w, https:\/\/maponmyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_3991-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Not far from the canyon, just next to <strong>Highway 89<\/strong>, is a well-known spot called <strong>Horseshoe Bend<\/strong> where the <strong>Colorado River<\/strong> makes a sharp turn.
