    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.

    No hiking trail here. You just have to go down in the valley in the middle of the goblins and try to find the more surprising rock formations.

     

    Photo tip : for night shots, use a tripod and a remote control (or use the timer of your camera).

      

    Access : between Capitol Reef and Green River on Highway 24, take the Temple Mountain Road and follow the road signs "Goblin Valley".

    Lodging

    We have tested :

    • Goblin Valley State Park - Campground : Very pleasant campsite and very calm. Delimited ground for tents with shelter and camping table. Better to be there in dry weather : during our stay in September 2013, the pitches were muddy.
    • Hanksville - Duke's Slickrock Campground & RV :  campground well equiped with a grassy area for the tents. 22$ tent site in april 2022.
