Dead Horse Point State Park
Known For
Canyon overlooks with a 270-degree Colorado River horseshoe below
Dead Horse Point State Park hangs above a 2,000-foot canyon bend in the Colorado River and produces great-for-photos panoramas that rival anything in the national parks nearby. At dawn, the river glows copper and the silence is absolute.
🕐Best time to visit: Dawn on a clear morning, especially after a cold front passes
Our Take
Dead Horse Point's 2,000-foot canyon overlook — where the Colorado River makes a dramatic horseshoe bend below ancient mesa walls — is one of those views that makes people go quiet. It scores as a solid charming spot because with nearly 6,500 reviews it's well-known, but it consistently overdelivers on the promise.
