Dead Horse Point

I’ve decided we should rename this place Happy Horse. Dead horse is a terrible name with a horrible legend! But the trails made me happy- super fun on an ebike and highly recommended as your last ride before you leave Moab. You know, after you’ve ridden Ahab and your body feels like Mufasa in the wildebeest gorge. This trail was a nice recovery ride with just enough features and flow to be interesting, challenging and fun! And they have a ?crow or raven? who is super friendly and came right over to me! It was a bit more chilly than down in Moab so bring layers.

This place is awesome! $20 a car to get in. The Visitor center is cool. It has amazing views, a walking path and the gift shop has all kinds of goodies that aren't terribly expensive. Bathrooms are outside around the side of the building. After that follow 313 to the end. Here there are several places to stop and take photos. There is a building in the center with bathrooms in it. There are also several picnic shelters. You can also get married here. There are 5 different spots. We thought Cliff Side was the best but it was also the most difficult to get to and there is no wall just cliff so be careful especially with kids. There is also 25 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. I haven't tried them yet but when I do I will update this review. Have fun!

We loved seeing this state park. It was beautiful. Located between Canyonlands and Arches, it gets lost in the mix but is well worth seeing. There were several interesting hikes but they mostly only offer different perspectives on the main site. We stayed in the Dead Horse Campground. Arrived at dark - bad idea!!! The morning revealed a beautiful large site with a weather-protected picnic table. The campground has a community dump station but only electricity at the sites. No water.

We visited the Dead Horse National Park. It was just beautiful! We drove up to the top point and enjoyed a picnic lunch under an overhang with cliff seating and benches in the shade. The restroom was clean and beautifully tiled walls. We saw the place where the Thelma & Louise car was driven off the cliff for the movie too!

This is a great park!! I think the views at the overlook at the end of the road are better than Capital Reef with the bend in the Colorado River and salt ponds, also with shaded areas for eating and restrooms. There are a handful of hiking and biking trails. Great visitor center with a short nature trail and overlook. Well worth the $20 entrance fee.
