The Gooseneck in Capitol Reef National Park is a breathtaking overlook that reveals the meandering curve of Sulphur Creek, carved deep into the landscape by centuries of erosion. This geological feature offers panoramic views of the surrounding cliffs, mesas, and the winding canyon below. The overlook is accessible by a short hike, providing visitors with a stunning vantage point to appreciate Capitol Reef's unique topography and vibrant rock layers. The Gooseneck is a popular spot for photographers, hikers, and nature lovers seeking solitude and scenic beauty.
