Hike East Rim Trail (Dead Horse Point), Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah
This trail begins at the visitor center and travels along the eastern side of the mesa top to Dead Horse Point, providing a fun hiking alternate to simply driving the main park road. The East Rim offers great views towards the La Sal Mountains and Behind the Rocks area as well as sagebrush flats and juniper forest. Aside from a short hill a quarter mile from the visitor center, this trail is predominately flat. A loop of this and the West Rim Trail makes a great 4-mile (or more), half day adventure starting and stopping at the visitor center.
By itself, the East Rim Trail amounts to 1.5 miles between the visitor center and Dead Horse Point. An additional half-mile can be added by taking the Basin Overlook spur. This side trail quickly drops about 100 feet off the mesa top to a shelf that offers spectacular, and typically more secluded views of the canyon country below.
