Goblin Valley State Park, Utah

After leaving Moab, we continued on our loop through Southern Utah and found ourselves at Goblin Valley State Park. This park was very secluded; 25 miles to the next town; and was filled with "goblins".

These goblins are shaped from the sandstone that's very prominent in this area. Over a very long time; the wind along with mother nature has worked their magic. It's best to take a look at the posted pictures to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.

We took a 3 mile hike through 3 fields of goblins; and we were surrounded by beauty at the end of the walk.

We also had some pretty neat looking cliffs behind us; and the full moon only added to the ambiance. Having only one other camper in the park was also a nice treat.

Capital Reef National Park was our next stop. We had more deer for neighbours than we did people. We took a few neat hikes and drives through this area; and came across some petroglyphs.
