1st stop Dead Horse Point - The Colorado river cuts through the soft sand stone canyons of Utah's remote countryside on route to Nevada's Grand Canynon. Cold by night & hot by day Dead Horse Point is unforgiving place. The steep to vertical cliffs create an imposing, impassable landscape, leading to the legend that cowboys used to drive wild horses towards the point, trapping them there before capturing the ones they wanted.
Today there's less savage activities, like hiking, biking & rafting. The unseasonably warm temperatures meant our coats & warm clothes remained unused & with no shade the baking sun cooked the hire car.
Mesa arch - not a sight for those, like me who hate heights.
