Dear Horse Point State Park

Probably the best known state park in Utah outside of the state is Dead Horse Point. Movie buffs know it as the location for the 'Grand Canyon scene' in "Thelma and Louise." Park aficionados know it for great views on the way to Canyonlands NP. It is off the "Island in the Sky Highway" to Canyonlands. The main observation point overlooks the Colorado River as it bends on its way to the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately, our tour visited at the end of the day and the sun angle did not provide an optimum photo op. The blue items in the first two photos are solar evaporation ponds used to harvest potash.

Nice ones, Mike. That park is going on my list of places to visit if I ever get back out there.

Very nice series. Brings back memories from our trip in 2017. I would go back to Moab in a heart beat.
