White Rim Trail: Goose Neck Viewpoint

The Goose Neck Viewpoint is a scenic overlook near the north end of the White
Rim Trail. It offers a superb view of the north end of The Goose Neck. It is
at the end of a gently-ascending trail that extends about half a mile from
the White Rim Trail. Much of the walking is on bare sandstone.
