What people say
Trinity Hobdey
"Dead Horse Point State Park is a stunning natural area located near Moab, Utah, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park. One of the park's most prominent features is the Dead Horse Point Overlook, which provides a mesmerizing vista of the deep canyons and winding river below. There are several notable hikes within the park, including the Dead Horse Point Rim Trail, a relatively easy hike that offers spectacular views along the edge of the mesa. Another popular hike is the East Rim Trail, which offers a longer and more challenging trek with even more expansive views of the surrounding landscapes. Dead Horse Point is also known for its incredible sunrises and sunsets, as the changing light casts dramatic shadows and hues across the rugged terrain, creating a photographer's paradise. Whether you're hiking, mountain biking, or simply taking in the scenery, Dead Horse Point State Park promises an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Utah desert."
