Day 2: Dead Horse Point & Canyonlands

We wanted Sunday to be more of just a sight seeing day..nothing too intense...just relaxing. We went to Dead Horse Point and learned about how cowboys corraled horses on a narrow little way with cliffs on each side and left them there. They could see the river below but had no way of getting out or getting water. They all died there at that point. Super sad story. No one knows why. But the vast views of all these incredible rock formations & cliffs were breath taking!

Right next to this point was a path that lots of people were going down. We decided to follow! Come to find out it was a really long path! So we went for as long as we felt like it and then turned around. It was next to a cliff edge and I felt my chest and teeth clenching many times!



After some dinner, we headed back to the hotel and just relaxed for the evening. A beautiful sunset to end a beautiful day! We stayed in Green River so we had a 45 min drive home every night. But it wasn't too bad to just have some wind down time.
