Dead Horse Point State Park

So I packed the refrigerator had the refrigerator full of stuff, had lots of dry goods, filled up the ID4, and then I headed out from Santa Rosa across Northern Nevada, across the Great Salt Flats of Utah, then down Highway 191 to Moab, where we set up our workshop headquarters.

From there, to the north of us was Arches National Park, to the southwest was Canyonlands National Park, and in between was dead horse point state park lots of stuff to see lots of good photo opportunities but also lots to know about those places so what i'm going to do right now is share what i learned and what i recommend All right, before I get to the specific sites themselves, I want to start with a few basics.

A lot of this is just, you know, Southwest living basics.

You know, when you're a photographer, you're out in the elements a lot, and it's important to make sure you're prepared.

Drones are not allowed in national parks.

And while we were there, they weren't allowed in the state park either, mainly because the ravens were nesting and they want to protect those nesting areas.

You have to check ahead of time when you could fly a drone in Dead Horse Point State Park.

And I would find out before you leave, just so you know, if you should even pack the thing.

They've gone over to Canyonlands.

They've gone to Dead Horse State Park, which now itself has reached over 1 million annual visitors.

They now are turned back at the gate and search directions for the once unknown swimming hole on the edge of town.

They miss out on camping reservations in the park, so the overnight crowd spills into the Bureau of Land Management campgrounds here or the Forest Service lands here.

And I might as well tell you guys where I'm at right now.

I'm, uh, at Dead Horse Point in Utah.

Terrible name for a place, but boy is it beautiful.

And I'm with my homeboy Skinny Vinny.

Yes.

This is Dead Horse Point in Utah.

I thought it was.

It looked Utah-like.
