  • 62. Origin of Horseshoe Bend, Arizona, and the Navajo and Coconino Sandstones, Grand Canyon − Flood Geology Disproved
    62. Origin of Horseshoe Bend, Arizona, and the Navajo and Coconino Sandstones, Grand Canyon − Flood Geology Disproved Lorence G. Collins July 1, 2020 Email address: [email protected] Abstract Young-Earth creationists (YEC) claim that Horseshoe Bend in Arizona was carved by the Colorado River soon after Noah's Flood had deposited sedimentary rocks during the year of the Flood about 4,400 years ago. Its receding waters are what entrenched the Colorado River in a U-shaped horseshoe bend. Conventional geology suggests that the Colorado River was once a former meandering river flowing on a broad floodplain, and as tectonic uplift pushed up northern Arizona, the river slowly cut down through the sediments while still preserving its U-shaped bend. Both the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone at Horseshoe Bend, and the underlying Permian Coconino Sandstone exposed in the Grand Canyon, are claimed by YECs to be deposited by Noah's Flood while producing underwater, giant, cross-bedded dunes. Conventional geology interprets that these cross-bedded dunes were formed in a desert environment by blowing wind. Evidence is presented in this article to show examples of features that cannot be explained by the creationists' Flood geology model. Introduction The purpose of this article is two-fold. The first is to demonstrate that the physical features of the Navajo and Coconino sandstones at Horseshoe Bend and in the Grand Canyon National Park are best understood by contemporary geology as aeolian sand dunes deposited by blowing wind. The second is to describe how Horseshoe Bend and the Grand Canyon were formed by the Colorado River slowly meandering across a flat floodplain and eroding the Bend and the Canyon over a few million years as plate tectonic forces deep in the earth’s crust uplifted northern Arizona and southern Utah.

  • Vermilion Cliffs Region of Arizona Spencer Trail to Horseshoe Bend Hike – March 17 2020 Evan Rose
    Vermilion Cliffs Region of Arizona Spencer Trail to Horseshoe Bend Hike – March 17 2020 Evan Rose While staying in the Marble Canyon / Lee’s Ferry area, I had already hiked Spencer Trail twice before deciding to hike to Horseshoe Bend. I noticed that Spencer Trail afforded access to Horseshoe Bend by a route that would easily fit in one day. For this hike I used topo maps that I downloaded into Backcountry Navigator. For this report I downloaded a selection of maps from USGS Topoview. https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview Drive to Lee’s Ferry and park upstream from the boat launching dock. Follow a trail along the Colorado River that takes you to the Spencer Trail trailhead. Climb that well-marked trail to the top. The trail is about two miles long with 1700 feet of elevation gain. There is significant rock debris on the trail, but no blockages. I started my hike around 9:30 AM and finished around 7 PM. Once at the top of Spencer Trail, I depended on Backcountry Navigator to find my way. There are some rudimentary tracks in this area, but they are difficult to follow and don’t go to Horseshoe Bend. The key to the route is to hike northwest away from the top of Spencer Trail and then to hike northeast toward a side canyon of the Colorado River. The complication is that this side canyon has cliffs to the south. One must hike far enough north to find a place to cross the canyon. In hiking north, however, one increases the distance to Horseshoe Bend.
