Perched on a dramatic mesa 2,000 feet above the Colorado River, Dead Horse Point State Park delivers one of the most spectacular panoramas in the American Southwest. Here, the mighty Colorado River carves an elegant gooseneck through layers of ancient stone, creating a natural masterpiece of sculptured pinnacles and towering buttes. The park's well-appointed campgrounds blend modern comfort with raw natural beauty, featuring shaded picnic tables perfect for sunset dinners, pristine flush toilets, and level tent pads that make setting up camp a breeze. For those seeking a unique twist on the camping experience, the park's cozy yurts offer an enticing alternative—each one thoughtfully equipped with bunk beds, comfortable futons, and climate control to ensure year-round comfort under the vast desert sky.
