When I told one of my photog friends that we are doing a south Utah road trip and were planning definitely to stop by at Moab. He told me not to overlook the Dead Horse Point State Park which is located just before the entrance to the Canyonlands National Park. I kept that advice in the back of my mind and while in Moab duly got seduced by the much-coveted spots in Arches and Island in the sky national parks.
So when we decided to get an early start on our final day, we decided to one more sunrise shot before leaving and decided to try out the tiny state park. And boy did it turn out to be a great decision, this tiny speck of land in southeastern Utah is beautiful beyond words. We learned that the unusual name of the park comes from the fact that it was used as a natural corral by cowboys in the 19th century, where horses often died of exposure. We had a perfect sunrise that day with stunning red cliffs getting saturated by bright warm morning light. This shot is a vertical panorama I shot of the main viewpoint. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed this stunning park.
