About Dead Horse Point State Park

Dead Horse point is a narrow peninsula that stretches out a little while. The legend of Dead horse point is that cowboys used to drive wild horses to the edge of the peninsula and fence them off to keep them, and one time they forgot and the horses died of thirst in full sight of the Colorado River. You will see majestic views and cliffs and the Colorado river snaking around. You will see a couple of blue pools that are potash fields. Typical for the desert. Hot in summer. Come during Spring or fall to best enjoy it.
