Dead Horse Point Drive Details

The Junction

At the junction of Highway 191 and Highway 313, the drive starts in narrow canyon walls but soon climbs to the top of the canyon and drives along the plateau. Wildgrass fields reach out on either side of the highway; quite the contrast the the regular sandy desert landscape.

Dead Horse Point Park

Once you have taken the turn-off towards Dead Horse Point State Park, the landscape will again become more desert like and you will soon find yourself inside the park; where deep canyons and ridges await your arrival.

Dead Horse Point Overlook

This spot is a must-see for sunset and nature lovers as the colors deepen immensely during those final moments of daylight. From here, you may want to take some time to wander down some side trails to see different overlooks into this stunning area.
