Dead Horse Point State Park and the Colorado River

One of my favorite places to visit in southeastern Utah is Dead Horse Point State Park just outside of both Canyonlands National Park and Moab.  The views of the Colorado River winding into Canyonlands are unparalleled. Get there early though! While it’s relatively unknown on the national radar, quite a few people know about it, especially people living in the region.
