If you haven’t seen Goosenecks State Park in south eastern Utah live and in person, these photos – hell, no photos – will do the place justice. The “goosenecks” are the result of the San Juan River cutting a meandering chasm 1,000 feet deep. It was an overcast day, which led to imperfect photography, but it was still a hell of a sight.

  1. Looks vaguely similar (they’re not that far apart… 80 miles or so), but Goosenecks is a tighter, more “extreme” version.

  2. It’s all good 🙂 There’s a lot of interesting geography in Utah. If you look about halfway up the mountainside on the east side of I-15 anywhere from Salt Lake to past Brigham City you can see the old shoreline of Lake Bonneville.
