The valley is very deep and the goosenecks are dramatic. We walked the trail along the rim and enjoyed the park as a place to see impressive scenery and stretch our legs. It's very impressive and d…Full review by Gregory P

Just a small booth with a person collecting $5. Just parked my car and got out to take a look. There are port a johns there, but nothing else but the view. But, the view is well worth it! So cool to …Full review by Kewejebe
Can you see a complete loop that the river makes from this park? Most of the photos show an edge blocking the view down to the river.

We didn't go to every vantage point, but from the main ones, you mostly cannot see the river straight below you unless you walk out to a further ledge. Probably not advisable, but …
We didn't go to every vantage point, but from the main ones, you mostly cannot see the river straight below you unless you walk out to a further ledge. Probably not advisable, but you can tell from the wear that some people do that.
Can you get into the park before sunrise ? or after sunset ?

There is very little to see in Goosenecks if there is no light. Monument valley would be a nice place as others have suggested above. If you are willing to drive to …
There is very little to see in Goosenecks if there is no light. Monument valley would be a nice place as others have suggested above. If you are willing to drive to Canyonlands NP, that would be an awesome place too to watch sunrise and sunset too.
is it worth it to go see the overlook to Gooseneck State Park and the San Juan river? anything else to do in the area? thanks
A:
There is nothing else to do at Goosenecks. You can drive in and out in 10 minutes. So, is the $5 fee worth the time for maybe a picture? Go to Valley of the Gods. It is like a mini …
There is nothing else to do at Goosenecks. You can drive in and out in 10 minutes. So, is the $5 fee worth the time for maybe a picture? Go to Valley of the Gods. It is like a mini monument valley and you don't have to pay to enter because it is managed by the bureau of land management. It is beautiful. Monument Valley is further south and is under the control of the Navajo Nation--it is not a national park. You must pay a fee to enter and you must pay additional fees for guides if you want to see anything other than the 17 mile scenic loop. North off 95 and 275 is Natural Bridges National Monument. It offers beautiful views and trails to each of the bridges as well as a complete connecting trail to all the bridges. Have a good trip.
