Official Site[edit]

I do not think the http://horseshoebend.com is the official website of this place. Seems like a marketing ploy and should not be referenced here. Research is needed to find the official site and official jurisdiction. Janechii (talk) 20:31, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, and it actually provides little information not provided by the cited sources. Removing. --Kent G. Budge (talk) 04:34, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

I don't think this article ought to be merged. It's a specific place, and to redirect to the article on the whole river would not clarify anything. --Aaron Walden 00:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. -- Moondigger 01:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Eutrophication?[edit]

Is the green colour of the Colorado water consequence of eutrophication? If so it's a beautiful picture to use in environmental issues.

I'm not sure. Green "clings" to the river and the shore close to the river. Just a few meters away from the river everything reverts to desert browns/yellows/oranges. Maybe somebody more familiar with the Colorado river or northern Arizona can comment. -- Moondigger 11:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

George Hayduke was right - damming the Colorado was not a bright thing to do. In a few thousand years the dam will have silted up, the river will flow again, people will be extinct, the earth will heave a sigh of relief and the cycle wlll carry on. Paul venter 14:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is is an old issue, but the green color of the water is from algae on the riverbed's rocks. Apollo1758 (talk) 16:47, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures?[edit]

How necessary is it to have seven pictures from pretty much exactly the same vantage point of the exact same geological feature, especially one with so little accompanying text? Could all but one be done away with? If so, which one? BobAmnertiopsis ∴_ChatMe! 18:57, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
