The road to Dead Horse Point State Park is about 33 miles off the highway, most without drop offs, but as you climb any mountain you will encounter some drop offs or very steep hill sides. I would say that its a small percentage of the drive that has steep hillsides. I believe it is worth the drive if your wife can check her emotions on the drive. Now the overlooks are very high, its like the Grand Canyon, but the views are so awesome definitely worth it!

Sorry I can't help - I have no idea - try finding a contact with the Parks system.

You are probably out of luck having a convenient food source close to Dead Horse Point State Park. You’ll have to backtrack to highway 191 towards Moab. Moab is about 31 miles from your Yurt destination. There are two sites at the park. They also advise you bring water since it’s trucked in from Moab. Are you able to pick up supplies on your way to the state park? I carried my dry products in with me when I visited. For wet items I went into town.

Honestly any where in that are would be amazing! Try to stay on the high ground.

If I remember correctly, the visitor center was about a mile from the entrance booth (closed when we arrived for sunset but you could still use bathrooms - plus there's a coffee shop there)and the lookout area wasn't that much further. It's very nicely done with bathrooms, a covered area at the viewpoint and lots of places to sit.

We stayed at Shady Acres RV also,and we loved it. You can fill there for a fee. I think it was $5.00

WE used Adrift adventure tour and had a great tour of canyon lands park including the famous place where Thelma andLouise last scene was shot . We also visited the museum at red cliff lodge where it was interesting to watch videos about the shooting of that and other movies

I just came back from dead horse park , not at dead horse , but in the Moab are there are , check in with the Ranger station and they will help .

Not that I am aware of. They’re all an easy walk or short hike.

There are bike rental places in Moab, Utah which is the "gateway" town for Arches, Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point. I don't know a specific name, I guess just "google" it. I am not aware of a "shuttle" but there are various tours available, again out of Moab. Hope this helps.
