We had just a few quick stops on our way to and in the Dead horse point sp but nevertheless really enjoyed the views and were amazed by the resemblance with the Grand Canyon. The fist shot of the Mission Impossible II movie was filmed here and also the final of Thelma & Louise. Not te be missed place when... More

You have to visit this if you've seen Thelma and Louise but even if you haven't it's a great place with brilliant views. More

The word "Point" is deceiving as the scale of view is huge. Be sure to walk around the whole point to see all views of the canyon below. More

This new area to Mountain bike has something for everyone and fantastic views. Our group of 6 loved it. Well worth the drive and $10 car fee to get in. Very nice visitors center, bathrooms and lots of see and do. More

Dead Horse Point is a State Park, near Moab, Utah - what an amazing place - the story is that cowboys used the point as a natuarl corral for the wild mustangs they rounded up - taking the horses they wanted, they left the rest to die.

To my opinion it is the most beautiful scenery of the United States. The grand canyon is as marvelous but the view at this park expands to 360 degrees (with an exception on one direction where there is something which looks similar to a fish culture ...) and seems to go to the infinite. At the very bottom you see... More

This small park is stuck between Arches NP and Canyonlands NP, but it is worth a stop for a day. Views are spectacular, and the crowds are MUCH less than at the other two parks. It is small, but has a campground, hiking trails, and bike trails as well as a welcome station with a small coffee/sandwich shop. There is... More
