Dead Horse Point State Park
Dead Horse Point is in the Canyonlands area of Moab. It is a remarkable area, with sweeping and dramatic vistas. Superb views of the Colorado River far below, highlighted by the red rock, and offset by the greenery from a recent rain. Beautiful.
This morning Les Cook joined us for a 5 mile hike along the west rim, followed by a return along the east rim. So we got to see both sides of this magnificent canyon. The enormous vistas, and deep drop offs, make you feel insignificant.
Twisted dead trees attest to the savage nature of this land
