This little state park is a gem. Lots of tourist around the area just stop at the Arches NP and Canyonland NP. But you should take definitively your time and and make a detour to the Dead Horse NP. It's spectacular views of the colorado river makes it worthwhile to spend some time there. more

If you have some time during your stay in the area, consider visiting the park for sunrise. more

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

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
