Wanting an incredible sunset experience? Scenic Byway U-313 to Dead Horse Point is just what you have been looking for. The 22-mile drive, starting at the junction of U.S. Highway 191 and Highway 313, offers a very unique view of the Moab area.
At the junction of Highway 191 and Highway 313, the drive starts in narrow canyon walls but soon climbs to the top of the canyon and drives along the plateau. Wildgrass fields reach out on either side of the highway; quite the contrast the the regular sandy desert landscape.
Once you have taken the turn-off towards Dead Horse Point State Park, the landscape will again become more desert like and you will soon find yourself inside the park; where deep canyons and ridges await your arrival.
This spot is a must-see for sunset and nature lovers as the colors deepen immensely during those final moments of daylight. From here, you may want to take some time to wander down some side trails to see different overlooks into this stunning area.
