Title

Goblin Valley State Park

Description

Goblin Valley State Park in central Utah contains thousands of sandstone hoodoos called goblins eroded from the Entrada sandstone. Unlike Bryce Canyon's towering spires, these goblins are small enough for children to weave through and scramble over safely. The valley resembles a Martian landscape—a favorite of kids and sci-fi fans.
