After a bit of a hike, we got to see the horseshoe bend. What an astounding beauty it was! Also extremely nerve-wracking because it is a merciless 1000 feet drop from the canyon cliffs, and there are no rails at the edge of the cliffs. Being acrophobic made it worse! But it is an experience of a lifetime and I’m glad I mustered all of my courage (I have very little of it), prayed all the Gods in the world (although I believe there is only God) and peeked at the formation of the horseshoe bend among the deep gorges. To get an elaborate view of the horseshoe bend, I lay down on my stomach and literally crawled on the canyon to reach the edges. The only thing I hoped is, the cliffs were strong enough to hold my weight. And here I was, literally at the edge of a 1000 feet high cliff with my palms sweating (literally!).](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000342648/fa60f8df-0e72-445a-8076-03fcd1e0fa5c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) --- - ![find price illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__find_price.svg) ### Explore activities Explore thousands of experiences from activities and attractions to day tours and transfer. - ![calendar shield illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__calendar_shield.svg) ### Book with ease Skip the line- book tickets online in minutes to top attractions with free cancellation on many activities. - ![trophy illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__trophy.svg) ### Treat yourself One Key members save % or more on select activities, hotels, cars and vacation rentals.

It was founded by Lewis Adams, a former slave, and George W. Campbell, a former slave owner. Adams asked that an educational institution for blacks be established. After Foster won the election, $2,000 (per year) was allocated from the state general budget for such a school to be located in Macon County. It was officially founded on July 4th, 1881, with Booker T. Washington, then a 25-year-old teacher at Hampton Institute in Virginia, as its first principal, a position he maintained until his death in 1915. Tuskegee acquired university status in 1985. Today it offers undergraduate, masters, professional, and doctoral degrees to more than 3,000 students with a strong orientation toward the relationship between education and work force preparation in the sciences, professions and technical areas. It was the first black college to be designated as a Registered National Historic Landmark (1966), and is the only black college to be designated as a National Historic Site.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/10049/c2f5381b-984e-4313-9f3a-b4f9ff858163.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Tuskegee ![Children's Harbor on Lake Martin Alabama / Island View; Shutterstock ID 98268905](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635056398554/9fb24a2f-8307-4c85-b2e3-73bd5bf236c6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Alexander City ![Aerial View of Lake Martin, Alabama](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182895/1b4f222a-04ac-4b3c-8f45-c91a22dec7c6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Dadeville ![Located within a few hours drive from Las Vegas is this horseshoe shaped meander of the Colorado River.
