Dead Horse Point State Park

Today Barbara and I headed southeast to the Dead Horse Point State Park on the Colorado River. As the legend goes cowboys use to catch wild mustangs that roamed this area and corral them here on the shore of the river. They would take the horses they wanted and let the rest die of dehydration just feet from the river. This is a beautiful area between Canyon Lands and Arches National Parks. Honestly, I believe it is difficult to take a bad photo here with all of the contrast and color.

    1. I don’t believe they’re purple. The combination of red rock and partial shadows make it look purple in the photo. Are you looking at these using your phone or a laptop? They look more natural on a computer screen. On a phone the photos are compressed and the colors are exaggerated.
