Here, the San Juan River tries to outdo the Colorado at Horseshoe Bend, by doing three twirls instead of just the one. I was determined to get a shot with all three, but it’s impossible to get a good one unless you fly over, as you can see from this pano. It looks as though all we need to do is walk forward, but that red bit is metres below us, and actually lower than the tops of the mounds.

You can only really get a good shot of one.

Amazingly, you can park your RV here for free and stay the night. Unfortunately, I had a small altercation with a German tourist, who complained I was photographing too near his RV. I was, but it was the best spot, and I am ruthless. I explained that I had scouted the spot before he arrived, he said we should have parked there and taken the spot. I apologised most insincerely. Shades of towels and sun loungers in Spain?
