Everyone comes to Moab for Arches National Park (or Canyonlands), but Dead Horse Point State Park is a surprisingly good place to stop as well. It's a little ways out of the city (along the way to Canyonlands) and deserves a half-day stop on the itinerary of anyone who wants to escape the heat and crowds of Arches. After a... More

Even though it is not a National Park, it should be.. It is absolutely beautiful. You have a nearly 360° view on the canyon from the top view point. Shades of colors, endless view on amazing cliffs, river and artificial lakes, all from above it. We could see a track at the bottom of the canyon, crossing it all the... More

Went up here to photograph the canyon at sunset but sun was covered by clouds. Still a beautiful spot.

The lady in the visitors center was totally bored, but tried to be helpful when she could. We didn't stay here long as we had a big hike scheduled in canyonlands. This was on the way there.

On our recent trip to Moab, UT we drove through Dead Horse Point State Park. If in Moab, it's a place you must visit. Beautiful views.

We arrived in Moab about 4pm and wanted to do something before we ate dinner. We decided to drive to Dead Horse point. It was only about 20 mins drive from town. It was $10 to get into the park. We drove straight to the viewing spot. It was incredible. The view was amazing. I had been to Arches &... More

You should really visit a couple times at different times to appreciate the view. We went when it was raining and once in the evening. Everywhere you look is absolutely beautiful.
