Dead Horse Point - Moab, Utah

Nine miles northwest of Moab, Utah - there is a place where the Colorado, and Green Rivers have chiseled patterns into the earth that are so intricate - you would think someone carved out the patterns with an X-Acto knife. This place is Dead Horse Point. If you haven’t been to Dead Horse Point, the next time you go to Moab - you have to go. You just have to. Dead Horse Point is an overlook that stands 2,000 feet above the confluence of the Green, and Colorado Rivers . When there is snow on the La Sal mountain range, some say the view rivals that of the Grand Canyon . I could hardly disagree.

For 300 million years these two rivers have been etching their way south to the Canyonlands to create one of the most picturesque landscapes I have ever observed. I’ve been there twice – once with my friend Nick Bezzerides, and once with Mike.
