                                   About Dead Horse Point:

Dead Horse Point is a promontory of stone surrounded by steep cliffs.  The overlook at Dead Horse Point is 6,000 feet above sea level. Two thousand feet below, the Colorado River winds its way from the continental divide in Colorado to the Gulf of California, a distance of 1,400 miles.  From the overlook, canyon erosion over 150 million years may be viewed on a grand scale. Much of it is caused by the river slicing down into the earth's crust as land is forced upward. 
Before the turn of the century, mustang herds ran wild on the mesas near Dead Horse Point. The unique promontory provided a natural corral into which the horses were driven by cowboys. The only escape was through a narrow, 30-yard neck of land controlled by fencing.  According to one legend, a band of mustangs was left corralled on the Point. The gate was supposedly left open so the horses could return to the open range. For some unknown reason, the mustangs remained on the Point. There they died of thirst within sight of the Colorado River, 2,000 feet below.
