Deadman Point Trail

The Deadman Point Trail visits the interesting scenery near the bowknot bend section of the Green River. Hellroaring Canyon is to the south and Spring Canyon to the north. There are occasional challenges for stock vehicles, but this trip was planned to be scenic,

relaxing family four-wheeling for those more interested in the scenery than 4x4 challenges. Approximate mileages: 90 total, 32 off highway.

Scenery: Two or three overlooks of the Green River will be visited. Glimpses of lower Hellroaring Canyon are a treat, and in the distance the large rock formation named Cleopatra’s Chair in the Maze District of Canyonlands National Park can be viewed. If conditions are right one can enjoy the sight of birds fl oating on the thermals at some of the overlooks.

Road Surface: There are some easy rock and dirt sections, occasional small ledges, a twisting descent that demands a driver’s attention, some slickrock near the viewpoints, and a couple sections of sandy two-track.

Highlights: One or two ledges may require a carefully chosen line to avoid scraping a skid plate or rear bumper on vehicles with a long overhang, but this trail is mainly about the views. The distant vistas are spectacular, and peering down to the Green River at the overlooks is a treat as well.
