Goosenecks Overlook
A cliff viewpoint reached by a short trail, overlooking the Sulphur Creek meander in a canyon about 240 meters deep.
Turn off onto the Panorama Point spur from Highway 24. After parking at the end of the dirt road, walk about 5 minutes to the Goosenecks Overlook. Below is a deep canyon carved by Sulphur Creek into a meandering loop, and in the distance are the white Navajo sandstone domes of the Waterpocket Fold. The same parking area leads to a sunset viewpoint, and the Panorama Point junction is good for stargazing. It is free with no entrance fee, so it is a good stop when driving through. There are no guardrails at the cliff edge, so take care with children.
