A visit to Goblin Valley State Park is a fascinating opportunity to see strange hoodoos, or goblins. It's a surreal experience as we take a tour in the morning and evening to walk among these pinnacles.

Located in Green River, Utah near the San Rafael Swell, is Goblin Valley State Park. Much like it's more famous "sibling", Bryce Canyon National Park, hoodoos are the predominant feature of the park. Here they are called goblins.

The goblins in the park are made of harder rock sitting atop softer sandstone. The sandstone slowly erodes over time leaving the well-known mushroom shape that is dotted all over the park.

There are three valleys to walk through. Visitors are free to roam the area as they want. Be sure to visit near sunset as the setting sun casts a glow on the sandstone making them glow a deep red color.

Beyond the three valleys, there are six miles of hiking trails available including one to what is called the Goblin's Lair - a slot canyon that has been sealed by rock fall on one end.

Due to the delicate nature of the goblins, climbing on the hoodoos is prohibited.
