The iconic Dead Horse Point offers stunning panoramic views of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park. This overlook is situated on the rim of the mesa with a sheer, 2,000-foot drop down into the canyon below. Although there is a rock and cement wall, please use caution by the edge. The name supposedly comes from the 19th century when cowboys used it as a natural corral, where horses often died of exposure. There are picnic tables and a large parking area behind the overlook where you can eat lunch and enjoy the majestic vista.

For all Big Bang Theory lovers, this view is familiar. When Sheldon allegedly runs to the Grand Canyon with the Flash costume, he does not land there, but here.

The annual pass "America The Beautiful" does not give you entry to the park, unfortunately you have to fork out $ 15. But the view of the Colorado is amazing.
