Driving & Access

• Location: Accessible via a rough dirt spur road off the main park route. It’s technically outside the official boundaries of Dead Horse Point State Park but reached through the same general area.

• Vehicle Needs: A high-clearance vehicle is recommended; after rain, the road can be rutted or muddy. Avoid attempting the drive in a standard car.

• Directions: Follow the Shafer Trail Road or Potash Road depending on your starting point, but research current road conditions beforehand. GPS navigation may not be reliable—download offline maps.

Photography & Best Time to Visit

• Golden Hour: Sunset and sunrise paint the cliffs in rich gold and crimson hues, perfect for dramatic landscape photography.

• Film Fan Moments: Bring sunglasses, strike a pose at the edge, and channel your inner outlaws with that iconic backdrop.

• Drone Tips: Drone flying is prohibited in Dead Horse Point State Park but may be allowed just outside the boundary—double-check current BLM regulations. Always fly respectfully and avoid crowds.

Pet Policy

• Pet-Friendly: The overlook itself is not regulated by the park, so dogs are allowed, but be extremely cautious near the edges. There are no railings or guardrails, and steep drop-offs can be hazardous for both pets and humans.

Camping Nearby

• Dead Horse Point Campground: Offers electric hookups, restrooms, and dramatic night skies (reservations highly recommended).

• BLM Land: Dispersed camping options available along Potash Road or near Canyonlands; pack in/out all supplies and follow Leave No Trace.
