Gooseneck Overlook Description
The Gooseneck Overlook Trail is a short and easy hike to a spectacular viewpoint. This hike is only accessible with an off-highway vehicle—access should not be attempted in a low clearance or 2WD car. From the overlook, you will be able to see the curve of the Colorado River, the variegated landscape of the Island in the Sky, and the top of the La Sal Mountains way in the distance.
From the trailhead follow the well marked path east to the overlook.
Soak in the expansive views of the canyons below before turning around and following the same path back to the trailhead.
