Gooseneck Overlook
What to Expect
Safety Advisory
The overlook has no railings or barriers — the cliff edge is abrupt and the drop is fatal. Keep well back from the rim, especially on windy days, and watch children and dogs closely (though dogs aren't allowed on the trail).
White Rim Road is remote and has no cell service, no water sources, and limited rescue access. A breakdown or medical issue out here is a serious situation — travel prepared with extra supplies and let someone know your itinerary.
Trail Details
Pro Tips
This trail is accessed from White Rim Road, which requires a high-clearance 4WD vehicle and typically a permit for overnight trips — plan your White Rim logistics well before thinking about this stop.
There is zero shade and zero water on this walk or anywhere nearby on White Rim Road. Carry more water than you think you need for the full driving route, not just this short stroll.
The overlook faces roughly west, so late afternoon light turns the canyon walls and river below into deep amber and rust — time your White Rim itinerary to hit this stop in the last two hours before sunset if you can.
