    From the prominence of Dead Horse Point, 2,000 feet above a gooseneck in the Colorado River, an ever changing landscape unfurls. Immense vertical cliffs meet with canyons carved by ice, water and wind creating a visual masterpiece. Plants and...more

    An Isthmus of a Road

    The view from the end of the road was spectacular, but honestly we preferred looking at The Neck, the place where the top of the cliff where the road is narrowed to about 30-40 feet before sloping away to steep dropoffs. Being able to drive...More

    Probably my favorite views in our Utah trip

    Went to the big 5 Utah national parks on our spring break, along with several state parks. This place is gorgeous. Tied for my favorite stop along with Arches.

    Don’t skip this park

    It’s easy to skip this as it’s wedged between Canyonlands and Arches NP’s, but don’t do it. It has great vistas that, despite it’s proximity to Canyonlands, are quite different from the NP. If you like hiking you can take a 4 mile hike that...More

    Great vistas

    Great for sunsets. A $20 entrance fee but worth it. A nice trail to walk around and view this amazing area a mini Grand Canyon. A visitor center, camping and a cafe in the park. Would recommend

    Beautiful scenery, sad story

    The views from Dead Horse Point are awesome. It's not as crowded as Arches or Canyonlands, but the legend behind Dead Horse is sobering. Apparently, a herd of wild mustangs freely roamed atop one of the mesas. A group of cowboys rounded them up, and...More

    Beautiful Vistas!

    Loved this State Park. Visitors center and the observation decks were clean and well maintained. Gives you a great view into Canyonlands National Park.

    Sunset

    Worth the $20 admission (since it's a Utah State Park instead of a National Park, the NP Annual Pass isn't accepted)! We went for sunset (arrived about an hour early) and it was beautiful!

    Dead Horse State Park

    The view from Dead Horse Point in the park is awesome and amazing. There are many hiking and mountain biking trails. Not very crowded--very very quiet. Would not miss this park if in the area.

    Nice Trails, dog friendly, cool SP

    We enjoyed our visit to this state park. Entrance fee was $20 for a car, good for 3 days. The park is rather narrow, did not stay at the campgrounds, but the history in interesting and the hikes are easy with good views. It is...More
