Goosenecks State Park
Just 30 minutes north of Monument Valley is a state park called Goosenecks State Park. There were no hikes that we saw. The state park ended just a short jaunt away from the entrance station. The highlight here is the “gooseneck” formation formed by the flowing San Juan River below. San Juan River slowly meanders 6 miles to cover a distance of 1.5 miles. It reminded me of pictures of Horseshoe Bend. If I were to do it over again and was short on time, this is the stop I would skip.

We did this drive/hike as part of our tour of the Four Corners Area.
