Goblin Valley State Park - Utah
What to do if you have little time : a short walk through the Goblin
If this park may seem small at first glance, it is actually not. It is quite extensive and you can wander for hours among all the more surprising than the other rock formations. Colors at sunset are beautiful. Goblin is also an interesting park for the night photo by full moon time. Indeed, the moonbeams give "lunar" effect to these landscapes. If attendance at the park is not very important during the day, it's even better at night, since it is not uncommon to be entirely alone : "scary". Indeed, the park closes at 10 pm and only those who camp there can then enjoy.
Goblin Valley is a State Park, so there is an entrance fee, which is not included in the Pass "America The Beautiful". It's 13$ per vehicle or 25$ if you're camping.
