Drive the Shafer Trail (4WD), Canyonlands National Park
It looks scarier from the lookout point above then when you’re on it. Driving down the switchbacks of Shafer Trail switchbacks to the quiet canyon floor was a highlight of this Utah national park.
Dead Horse Point is one of the most photographed scenic vistas in the USA. The overlook towers 2,000 feet above the Colorado River, providing a breathtaking panorama of Canyonlands’ sculpted pinnacles and buttes.
We screamed, we cried, we laughed, sometimes all it once. This was one of those epic family experiences we’ll never forget and are stunned that we had the bravery to do it.
Sitting at the edge of the surrounding cliffs looking over Delicate Arch and across the bowl it sits at the edge of, I felt like I was in an ancient Roman amphitheater.
