In a bygone geologic era, the San Juan flowed across a relatively flat plain that formed in an ancient marine environment. Unencumbered by rugged terrain, the river was free to take a long, <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/earth\/earth-observatory\/meandering-mississippi-river-147001\/\" rel=\"noopener\">meandering path<\/a> on its <a href=\"https:\/\/geo.libretexts.org\/Courses\/University_of_California_Davis\/GEL_109%3A_Sediments_and_Strata_(Sumner)\/Textbook_Construction\/Meandering_Rivers\" rel=\"noopener\">gradual journey<\/a> downslope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this part of the San Juan changed when geologic forces pushed the Colorado Plateau upward. Some experts think that within the later stages of this \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1146\/annurev-earth-032320-111432\" rel=\"noopener\">still-enigmatic<\/a>\u201d history, starting around 20 million years ago, the plateau\u2019s rise <a href=\"https:\/\/geology.utah.gov\/map-pub\/survey-notes\/geosights\/goosenecks-of-the-san-juan-river\/\" rel=\"noopener\">elevated the San Juan\u2019s headwaters<\/a>, which increased the river\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/geo.libretexts.org\/Learning_Objects\/Laboratory\/Book%3A_Laboratory_Manual_For_Introductory_Geology_(Deline_Harris_and_Tefend)\/05%3A_Water\/5.03%3A_Stream_Gradient_and_the_Cycle_of_Stream_Erosion\" rel=\"noopener\">gradient<\/a> and sped its flow. With that, the water\u2019s erosive power intensified, and the river started carving its winding path deeper and deeper through 300-million-year-old rock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, on its westward path to Lake Powell, the San Juan River flows through an impressive series of entrenched meanders, also known as \u201cgoosenecks.\u201d An astronaut aboard the International Space Station photographed the stark desert topography on October 6, 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Utah\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/stateparks.utah.gov\/parks\/goosenecks\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Goosenecks State Park<\/a>, the river runs through a canyon 1,000 feet (300 meters) deep. In places, it nearly loops back on itself, making horseshoe-shaped bends. One section is so curvy that the river travels 5.5 miles (8.9 kilometers) between two points that are only 1.3 miles (2.1 kilometers) apart as the crow\u2014nay, goose\u2014flies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-wide\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-none \"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/content\/dam\/science\/esd\/eo\/images\/iotd\/2026\/taking-a-gander-at-utah%E2%80%99s-goosenecks\/goosenecksstatepark_pho_20160808.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"A river makes tight, horseshoe-shaped curves at the bottom of a deep canyon in the desert.
