Ich erinnere mich noch an meinen Erstbesuch am Horseshoe Bend. Zu Sonnenuntergang waren vielleicht 5 Leute zugegen. Tja.... heute wird die Natur verschandelt und Horseshoe Bend wird nicht die letzte Location sein, die eingezäunt wird. Ich bin froh, dass ich diese Location noch unverfälscht gesehen habe.
Zitat aus einem Blog:
Five years ago, Horseshoe Bend saw only a thousand visitors in a year. But this year, over 4,000 people a day have come to see the bend, take selfies at the rim, and dangle their feet over the exposed edge. All this traffic has put a lot of strain on the attraction, or at least its parking lot. So on November 6, construction began on new parking amenities and a platform at the canyon’s edge complete with railing and signs to safely handle all the new visitors. Once complete, the bend will be a perfect tourist attraction with great parking, water, and shade. But the wild beauty that brought so many here in the first place will be gone.
