|  209 IMG 3313 This starts the Utah Dead Horse Park State Park - Photo's
|  210 IMG 3314 Dead Horse Point State Park.. here is the legend:The name of the park comes from the legend that cowboys once chased wild horses onto the peninsula and fenced off the narrow 30 yard neck to create a large corral. They selected the best of the herd for use and left the rest. Horses left in the corral when the cowboys left were unable to find their way out and died en masse, leaving just their bleached bones as a reminder.
|
 211 IMG 3315 It is hard to explain but just enjoy what you see.....No one knows for sure if the cowboys left the horses on purpose to die or not...
