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.
