Goblin Valley State Park is a hidden gem in Utah, known for its unique and whimsical rock formations resembling goblins. Surrounded by breathtaking red rock scenery, it offers fantastic opportunities for exploration and photography. Not only is Goblin Valley a great destination for hiking and outdoor adventures, but it's also perfect for family-friendly activities. The park features several trails, including the popular Goblin Valley Loop, ideal for visitors of all ages. When visiting, don't miss out on stargazing during the night, as the park's remote location provides stunning views of the night sky. With minimal light pollution, you can witness countless stars and even the Milky Way on a clear night. Keep in mind that the best time to visit is during spring or fall, when temperatures are mild and comfortable. Goblin Valley is also conveniently located near other incredible Utah attractions, such as Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. This makes it a perfect spot for a road trip to explore the beautiful landscapes of Southern Utah. Whether you're an adventure seeker or looking for a peaceful retreat in nature, Goblin Valley offers a memorable experience you won’t forget.

Would you do it?? 👇 This frolf course at Goblin Valley was HARD (like we had to fetch frisbees down canyons and half the time we couldn’t see the basket/hole) but soooo cool. Zero shade, lots of walking, really insane holes, changing landscape, and even jasper all over the ground at the end!

Places to visit before they get too crowded

Goblin Valley State Park in Utah was definitely off the beaten path, but it was well worth the detour (and getting a little lost). We used it as a fun place to stretch our legs on the way to Arches National Park, but this park is also an amazing place to see the Milky Way after sun down! #ut
