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

Located about a 30 minute drive north of Moab and, without a doubt, absolutely worth going out of your way for! The canyon and river views from this promontory are magnificent especially around sunset. I would imagine that sunrise is amazing as well since the views extend beyond 180 degrees. A nice easy rim trail makes this a great spot... more

Made two trips to this park. It is so beautiful ,I had to see it again! I agree with the other reviews. Dead Horse Point is a must see! Do not forget to bring a camera.The gift shop at the visitors center has excellent pictures of this park and Canyonlands National Park . more

We visited the park in an RV as part of our month long trip. It is amazing, especially at sun rise and sunset and the best scenery we saw in the whole of Utah and at those times very quiet. The campground is very good and the views from the higher pitches are great (11 and 13 being the best)... more

We visited Dead Horse Point following a recommendation from the Receptionist at our hotel in Moab. The views are spectacular and the walk around the rim is excellent. I would recommend that you include a visit in your itinerary - it costs $7 to enter the park. more

It's $7 to get in, and is a nice side trip if you have time after expending all your energy hiking the trails at Arches National Park. It's about 30 miles from Moab. Photography tip: The evening light is much much better than the morning light. Unfortunately we hit it later in the morning (around 11), but we did manage... more

I still have vivid images of the views from Dead Horse. It's even more majestic than at the Grand Canyon in my opinion. Many visitors to Moab's National parks are not familiar with it since it's not a "National Park" and so pass it off as unimpressive. Quite a mistake you made if you did this! There are few places... more

After a lot of driving to various points, which we enjoyed, we drove out to Dead Horse Point State Park. After driving from Monticello to Moab we had 30 miles to go. What could we possibly see that was worth 30 more miles, we thought. It made those extra miles and the $7 entrance fee worth it. The views of... more

Have you seen sandstone bleeding? You might not have, if you haven't visited Dead Horse Point State Park. If you are visiting Canyonlands, this is definitely a don't-miss item. It's about 15-20 minutes off the road to Canyonlands (Island in the Sky) - so even if you have one hour, it is worth a visit. However, as we took a... more
