Dead Horse Point State Park Photo Gallery
Most Dead Horse Point State Park photos are taken from the obseration point, across a gooseneck of the Colorado in Meander Canyon, looking into Canyonlands National Park. Dead Horse Point itself is rather bland, while the views from it are absolutely awsome. We show two views looking up at the Point, along with non-traditional and traditional views views from the Point, including the jump point of the Thelma and Louise movie. Both views of the Point look across Colorado River - one from a trail on the canyon wall across the Colorado, the other from Shafer Trail that runs along a ledge below the Point (Shafer Trail is visible in several of the photos).
The snow picture from the USGS is of U313 - at 5,900' (1,798 m) there can be a lot of snow, and this area gets plenty (not so much during drought).
