Goblin Valley State Park

Don had heard of Goblin Valley State Park while reviewing trips on an RV site on the web, and he thought it sounded interesting.  By the time we were headed to it, I think we all wondered if we could do one more "red rock" adventure, but we went anyway.

This particular park is comprised of numerous eroded sandstone "sculptures" that could be construed as goblins.  It is a very unique sandstone that scrapes off when touched and turns into a muddy mess when wet, therefore it was easy to see how the valley changes rather quickly.

There are three valleys of goblins, but we decided we didn't need to see all three.  In the valley where we were, we found rocks that looked like dinosaurs, mushrooms, and monkeys.  Young children would love coming here and running around, as long as it isn't too hot!  We got a great day, though the 35 mph winds were a little much.  Better that, however, than 100 degree heat!
