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.

Good set. I've been alongside those potash ponds on a Canyonlands NP tour.

Vey nicely done, Mike. Really outstanding! I've got a black and white photo of Dead Horse Point with me and two older brothers dated 1958.

Great shots. Yes, it is a must see spot.

However the Hualapai claim the Thelma and Louise spot is at Quartermaster Point on their reservation. I have seen the wrecked car at the bottom of the canyon. This is at the far western end of the Grand Canyon NP where the now famous cantilevered, glass bottomed view has been built.

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


Thanks for looking. Moab is a great place to be, but Montana is not too bad either.

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


Thanks, John. You will need a long list if you get to SE Utah.
