Memories in a Glass
"Dead Horse beer? Really?" My guest wrinkled her nose in disbelief. This reaction prompted laughter, as the Dead Horse Ale from the Moab Brewery had become a favorite of mine over the years. Unfazed by the unusual name, I had relished its taste many times.
I avoided delving into the name's oddity?"after all, more pressing matters awaited. Deep discussions over spaghetti in a secluded Montana canyon required resolutions to global issues. It was important, however, to clarify that my brew choice was not a result of a peculiar fascination.
Nostalgia Triggered
Finding this ale in Missoula, Montana evoked memories of a past Christmas excursion in Moab, Utah. With no clear destination in mind, my family embarked on a post-Christmas adventure. We followed my brother’s car up the canyon and onto a rugged backroad.

Discovering Dead Horse Point
The landscape soon leveled, leading us on a long, exhilarating drive toward the horizon before turning south. We joked that my brother aimed to lose us in this remote expanse.
Then, an unexpected halt. We exited our cars, greeted by a breathtaking vista. Standing on Dead Horse Point, we gazed down a sheer drop to the Colorado River, snaking through Canyonlands National Park 2,000 feet below. The panoramic view stretched 270 degrees, revealing a masterpiece carved by nature over thousands of years.
Nature’s Canvas
The desert plain behind us dramatically descended into intricate canyons and streambeds, while the majestic La Sal Mountains rose to the east, dusted with fresh snow. The Earth's layered crust was a striking testament to geological time.
Reflection and Connection
In that awe-inspiring moment, we felt our insignificance on a cosmic scale. Three generations?"parents to grandchildren?"stood together, realizing how fleeting our existence is compared to Earth's vast timeline. Despite this, our capacity to marvel at nature is profound.
