Dead Horse Point State Park

Moab, Utah

One of Utah's great sights! A peninsula of rock atop sandstone cliffs. The peninsula is connected to a mesa by a narrow strip of land called the neck. According to one legend, around 1900 the point was used as a corral for wild mustangs. The neck is only 30 meters wide was blocked off with brush...thus, no escape route for the horses. For some unknown reason, one time horses were left corralled on the point where they died of thirst within view of the Colorado River below.
