DeadHorse State Park is located approximately 32 miles from Moab in the direction of Canyonlands. The road to the park is well paved and easy to navigate. Upon arriving at the park you will need to pay your fee or show your prepaid purchase. Remember there is little to no cell phone in the area so printing a copy can come in handy. Once in the park you simply follow the road to the main parking lot- which has a good amount of parking. Here you can visit the Visitor’s Center, use the restroom, and then stroll down to the Goosenecks Observation Platform which gives you a glorious scenic view. The sun will be setting to your right as you walk down to the observatory platform. People rave about the sunset from this location, but, to be completely honest- I really wasn’t impressed. The light certainly lit up the canyon walls and the Gooseneck areas but not in any way that was unique compared to other locations. It is true that you have an unimpeded view of the sun as it dips below the canyon walls casting a shadow of darkness over the valley. I am not disappointed that we went to the park. First, the Goosenecks are outstanding- and worth the view alone. Secondly, this was really the easiest way to see the sunset as opposed to the national parks. This way we were able to leave Arches, grab dinner, stroll Main street and relax before departing for the park. If we had chosen to do Arches- we would have had to leave the park, grab dinner (sunset is late in the summer!), drive back and then hike to some of the better spots. Although, I suspect every spot is good. Not sure how crazy people would be for another hike given that we had been hiking since 6:00 am- and Arches has no view of goosenecks. So – DeadHorse State Park was kind of the best answer- it was different, easily accessible and provided wide, expansive views. One thing to be careful- once the sun sets- it gets dark fairly quickly- so having a flashlight to find your footing is a great help. To maximize your experience you should arrive at least 30 min prior to sunset.
