Goosenecks State Park

Goosenecks State Park offers a 1,000-foot vertical view of 300 million years of Earth’s geological history and a 360-degree vista of the heavens. The park’s most famous feature is its view of a rare entrenched meander. Goosenecks’ night skies rival its sensational geological formations. The park’s remote, high desert location provides intimate access to exceptionally dark skies. Hercules Cluster M13, the Andromeda Galaxy, the Double Star Cluster, and Sagittarius Star Clouds in the Milky Way can be viewed here with the naked eye. People from around the world travel to this primitive park to be able to immerse themselves in its terrestrial and celestial magnificence. Throughout the year, special events are held such as dark sky parties and interpretive programs to help visitors truly appreciate what they see when they gaze at the stars in the natural darkness of Goosenecks State Park.
