Dramatic mesas and buttes rise high above SR 313, aka Dead Horse Mesa Scenic Byway, which leads to Dead Horse Point State Park. A series of hairpin turns begins the ascent to the overlook, where amateur photogs snap stunning panoramas of the serpentine Colorado River 2,000 feet below. As the seasons change, the cliffs glow with varying shades of red, violet and gold.
