Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah, USA
In between our visits to Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park we decided to have lunch at the Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah. An easily overlooked smaller park that is worth visiting though. There's basically only one scenic viewpoint but it provides views all around on the Colorado River meandering through the eroded canyons below.
