The Goosenecks 2

This is at a Utah State Park not far from Monument Valley. The San Juan River twists and turns through a meander, flowing a distance of over six miles while advancing one and a half miles west on its way to Lake Powell. You can see the results of 300 million years of geological activity, where the River winds and carves its way through the desert 1,000 feet below. For five bucks a carload you can park and walk over to the a rail that keeps you from falling the 1000 feet into the river, while you take your pictures. This is a panorama stitched from several shots.
