New exhibits are currently under contract and will be installed before the year is out. Visitor Center hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Topics discussed include desert ecology, wildlife and plants, geology, rock art and recreational activities. Rangers from Island in the Sky also present a program each Sunday night at Dead Horse Point. The hiking trails have been relatively deserted during the heat of the day.
Hikers find the cooler morning and evening hours a more pleasant time for a stroll around the rim.
Some motivated folks even bring along a cup of coffee and granola bar for sunrise and an early hike. Others opt for a sunset hike and picnic dinner out on the point. Dead Horse Point is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
