The
legend has it that a cowboy herded wild horses over the narrow land passage
leading to the point, fenced off the narrow neck, but then forgot to feed
and water the horses. The view from the point of the upper Colorado River area is
wide and wonderful, though. A potash plant in the distance looks like
unusual straight-edged bright blue lakes. We went on to Canyonlands National
Park the same day, then returned to Dead Horse Point before returning to
Moab for the night. The next day we went to an arts and crafts festival in
Moab's city park, and David bought a rubber band repeater pistol (for the
cats…;-).
We
stayed four nights in Moab, Utah, which is next to Arches, and near to Dead
Horse Point and Canyonlands.
