I agree with all previous reviews. The view here is unbelievably gorgeous but what is that unnatural looking blue pool thing to the left of the view? Obviously I'm not a local and it is probably some really important piece of infrastructure but boy, does it wreck a great vista. more

The park isn't big. The only attraction here is the view, but what a view! Don't miss it. more

Great place to see the canyonlands. Exceptional biking trails for families. The longest loop is about 9 miles and goes to chief lookout. It includes slickrock and a technical section too. Short but sweet, with a flat gravel section to race home. All while overlooking the deep canyon below. more

The entrance to this park is right before Canyonlands. It costs $10 per car to enter, which is the same as Canyonlands NP, except DHP is alot smaller. I think alot of people drive by and skip it for these reasons. Well, DO NOT SKIP this place. The views and photo opps are amazing. We had so much fun walking... more

This is a great little park. The people at the visitor centre were so helpful. The displays of the geology, botany, etc were very informative and educational in understanding the history of area being visited. The view of the gooseneck of the Colorado is quite spectacular. The best part is the sunrise at Deadhorse. Something not to be missed!! more

I agree with everyone about how wonderful the views are. However you can find views that are even more breathtaking in the northern part of Canyonlands, which is a major national park, for the same $10 entrance fee that you pay to enter this postage-stamp sized park. Dead Horse Point only has a few lookout points all very close to... more

This really is a must-see location. It is, without question, one of the most spectacular vistas in the American Southwest as you stand on the rim of the canyon and overlook the Colorado River meandering below and forming a mesa-like structure that is so richly photogenic. To say it is a stunning view, is not an exaggeration. So why do... more

It is May 4, 2009-Utah's Governor Huntsman is attending the ribbon cutting ceremony to dedicate these new single track mountain bike loops. The Big Chief is a ten mile loop, the shorter Great Pyramid loop is 4.8 miles. I pedaled my fat tire 6 speed town bike on the shorter loop. Right after the Pyramid Overlook is an up hill... more

I just returned from a two week vacation of the Grand Circle including Zion, Bryce, Arches, Canyon Lands, Capitol Reef, Natural Bridges, Monument Valley, Grand Canyons. For me, this was the most dynamic viewpoint. My wife also. The attached pictures hardly do justice of this park as the overlook has a more than 300 degree view of a massive, expansive... more

Don't dismiss the idea of going to this park. If you have only an hour, definitely go here. I couldn't believe how quiet it was and you feel as though you are on top of the world. You may be joined by a few photographers, but there is a reason . . . the view is awesome! I'm sure the... more
