Hike West Rim Trail (Dead Horse Point), Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah

The West Rim is the longest hiking trail at Dead Horse Point State Park. From the visitor center, the route crosses the road and passes briefly through the campground before following the cliffs that form the western boundary of the park. This trail is more primitive, and usually less traveled than the East Rim. Make sure to follow the cairn-marked routes over exposed sections of sandstone and slick rock. The Meander, Shafer, and Rim overlook spur trails add an additional mile to the trek while affording sweeping vistas of Shafer Canyon and the Colorado River.
