Description
Towering 2,000 feet directly above the Colorado River, Dead Horse Point State Park provides a breathtaking panorama of the sculptured pinnacles and buttes of Canyonlands National Park.
Geography:
Millions of years of geologic activity created the spectacular views from Dead Horse Point State Park. Deposition of sediments by ancient oceans, freshwater lakes, streams and wind blown sand dunes created the rock layers of canyon country. Igneous activity formed the high mountains that rise like cool blue islands out of the hot, dry desert.
Recreation:
Customers enjoy Dead Horse Point’s many hiking and mountain bike trails. Photography, nature study, geology, wildlife viewing, and summer evening programs are a hit with visitors to this beautiful park.
Facilities:
A visitor center offers information on the history, geology, and biology of the area. There are two campgrounds and a yurt areas:
Kayenta Campground: All campsites in the Kayenta Campground have 20/30/50 amp electrical hookups near the paved driveway. This campground has flush toilets, a dump station, and each campsite has a small shade shelter and at least one tent pad.

This campground has two restrooms with flush toilets and one vault toilet, a dump station, and all the campsites have a shade shelter and one small tent pad.
