The Goosenecks of the San Juan River are a series of tight loops - or "goosenecks" - made by the river as it flows towards the Colorado River. Geologists refer to these loops as entrenched or incised meanders. Here, the San Jan river flows for 6 miles yet only covers a distance of one mile. It makes a series of three sharp hairpin turns, resembling goosenecks. The canyon walls reveal the 300-million-year old rocks of the Pennsylvanian period.
The Goosenecks are 300 million years of art work at display. They might lose a lot of press to other river-cut formations in the US, such as Grand Canyon, but this off the beaten path geological formation will make you awe at nature's power.
