Dead Horse Point is a state park that features an excellent viewpoint for Canyonlands National Park’s canyons. After shooting the night sky before dawn on Thursday morning, I drove out to the point to capture some images and drink in the scenery. Here are a few cell phone shots.

Great ‘golden hour’ images there.
That 300 million year old geology is stunning.
Once formed as sea-level sediments, those massive structures have risen thousands of feet. The strata are still clear and colourful.
Thanks. It was a great morning for photography. And the geology of the area of the US between the Colorado border and Hoover Dam is amazing. People think the Grand Canyon is incredible; I think Canyonlands is even more awesome, in the true sense of the word.
