United States of America Things to Do: 913 reviews and 1,204 photos
"The" Dead Horse Point is a Viewpoint down to the Colorado River (yes, the very same that makes the Grand Canyon later).
It is also already impressive here.
The Place is called Dead Horse Point, because this is the place where the cowboys took the wild mustangs groups together. It is some sort of a dead end road. The only way to leave the place was through a gate in the fence after the best horses have been taken out of the group.
Once (though the gate was open) the horses did not leave but died of thirst -in the view of the Colorado River.
I found an interesting warning note in the visitor Center:
If you see dark clouds close by, if you hear thunder or if it begins to rain, if your hairs stand up or you feel that the static electricity is high, go back to your car immediately. The chances to get struck by lightening asre very high here. it is a very exposed place.
If you drive on, you come into the Arches National Park.
Don´t miss it!
