Dead Horse Point State Park...

has a fantastic mountain bike singletrack around the edge of the plateau with commanding views of the incised canyons of the Colorado River.

The classic viewpoint in the park, standing on the Kayenta Formation atop the Wingate escarpment, gazing south across an entrenched meander on the Colorado River. (Click image to enlarge.)

My track, recorded by the GPS on my Garmin Fenix 6X Pro watch. “Laps” are two-mile marks. I parked outside the park at the point marked Lap 10 on the left and rode the loop counterclockwise.
