Dead Horse Point State Park
Dead Horse Point State Park is so named as a result of a gruesome event that took place way back in the late 1800s. The point is approached by a narrow section of land roughly 30 yards wide. A group of cowboys herded wild mustangs out onto the point and then closed off the narrow section with a makeshift fence made from gathered brush and timber. Then they culled out the finest horses that they wanted and left the rest penned in to die of dehydration.
The location looks down on the Colorado River 2000 feet below.
