Technically this is not in the National Park, but it should be.The views are stunning and easily rivals grand view point in terms of scenery and beauty. It's a must see when in Moab.
Fabulous views, nothing I have seen quite measures up to this place for mountains and distance. Makes you feel quite small in the measure of things.You can miss the Grand Canyon, but don't miss this place. Not crowded and you can explore all day.
If you are going to Canyonlands this is a good side trip. The park building has great facilities and displays. The prime viewing area is a good hike from the center, but you can drive there as well so do it. You won't be sorry.
Wish we could have hiked to the overlook from the visitor's station but we did drive. Iconic natural site.
We toured many Nat Parks for 2 weeks and the view from Dead Horse Point was my favourite . Quite stunning........a must see. One of the lessor known places to visit.A good Visitors Centre as well .
We went because we were in the area and there is so much publicity about all the movies shot here. The history of how this point got its name is very sad however the view of the Colorado River from here is great. Good but not my favourite place in the Moab area. Canyonlands or Arches are my favourites, but glad I did it to compare.
Stopped by on the way to Canyonlands National Park and I am so happy that we did. In the early morning was a little bit foggy so we had to come back in the afternoon. The views are spectacular and you can also see the Potassium Lakes Mine. It is an amazing place and it is worth the additional 8miles drive. We saw many caws in the open ranches which was a great adding to our visit.
On a very high plateau, looking down to the Colorado River way below, view of Lal Sal mountains and Canyonlands just just wonderful and panoramic. Our favorite view was from the Dead Horse Point. Highly recommended to visit this park with Canyonlands NP.
The views from here is certainly great, and on it's own it would be quite a draw. However with Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands just up the road, I would recommend passing this by in order to spend more time at the park if you are pressed for time.
Stopped here on the way into Canyonlands/Island in the Sky and were very pleased we did! Stunning scenery - a geology lesson which makes you feel insignificant in the evolution of the Earth. Guide books will tell you about the dead horse legend and about the Thelma and Louise film and supposedly driving their car off the cliff here.
