Dead Horse Point State Park
Stroll along the Rim Walk, towering 2,000 feet directly above the Colorado River. The mesa
that is Dead Horse Point provides breathtaking views of the canyon country of southeastern
Utah and the pinnacles and buttes of Canyonlands National Park. The Legend of Dead Horse
Point: Cowboys corralled wild mustangs on the Point, then chose the horses they wanted. One
time, for some unknown reason, horses were left corralled on the waterless point where they
died of thirst.
