Description: Why is this Utah state park called Goosenecks?
When a river cuts deep through rock and the elevation (up above, when this all started millions of years ago) doesn’t change a lot, the river will meander.
In this case, the bends in the river look like the crooked neck of a goose when it is at rest.
Geology rocks!
