🛣️🌄 Goosenecks State Park — The Scenic Detour You Didn’t Know You Needed

#transportation If you’re journeying through the mighty Four Corners region — say, between Monument Valley, Arches, Canyonlands, or Mesa Verde — make time for a short but spectacular stop at Goosenecks State Park in southern Utah. This unsung gem is one of the most impressive river meanders on the planet. 🚐 Perfect for National Park Road Warriors 📍 Strategically Located • Monument Valley → 30 min • Canyonlands (The Needles) → 1.5 hr • Mesa Verde → 3 hr • Arches → 2.5 hr This is a quick detour with major payoff — no hiking required, just drive up, park, and drop your jaw. 🏕️ Camp with a View Primitive campsites sit right on the canyon rim. Sunset over the winding San Juan River? Unreal. 🚌 RV and Vanlife Friendly No crowds, wide open space, and the kind of silence that only deep canyon country offers. 📸 Why It’s a Must-Stop 🌊 The San Juan River’s 6-Mile Loop From the viewpoint, you’ll see over 300 million years of geologic time twisted into one of the Earth’s greatest natural “S”-shapes. 🧭 Fast but Epic No trails, no lines — just walk to the overlook, breathe it in, and move on to your next park refreshed. 🧳 Tips for Road Trippers Stop by on the way to or from Valley of the Gods — another under-the-radar highlight. Great for sunrise or stargazing. The remote location = seriously dark skies. Bring a chair, snacks, and your wide-angle lens — you’ll want to linger.
