Goosenecks State Park
Deep meanders where the San Juan River carves successive bends through a canyon about 300 meters deep, visible right from the cliff edge.
The viewpoints of Goosenecks State Park sit right on the cliff edge. Below, the San Juan River winds through a canyon about 300 meters deep. A straight-line distance of 1.5 km corresponds to roughly 10 km of river channel. The rock layers date back about 300 million years. The park is small, parking costs about 5 US dollars per vehicle, and there is a simple campground. It is also a dark-sky stargazing spot, about a 10-minute drive from the town of Mexican Hat.
