Goosenecks Overlook

I was recently going over some of my shots from our Utah trip and came across a random snapshot that I made. It was taken from an overlook near the sunset point. The cliffs looked like the remains of a massive Mesa formation that has been eroded over the years. The location was near the Panorama point location before you enter the Capitol Reef National Park. This is where the sulfur creek twists and turns and forms some very cool gooseneck turns. It had to be one of the most spectacular scenes we have ever seen. But there was a problem, it is not a place that can be easily photographed.

In our haste to get from the cold front at Bryce to the relative warmth of Moab, we overlooked how pretty the Capitol Reef NP was gonna be. Unfortunately, we only earmarked a day at the park and didn’t have much time to explore. I still remember how pretty this area was and how much I wanted to stick around. One day I will be back again.
