Two views of the Gooseneck/Dead Horse Point

The Gooseneck is a sharp bend in the Colorado River about 13 miles west southwest of Moab, Utah.  At Dead Horse Point State Park, there is a fine view of the surrounding terrain from the mesa above, and closer views of the Gooseneck are afforded from the White Rim Road and Schafer Road down in the ​canyons carved by the River.
