Geography: Goblin Valley State Park is a showcase of geologic history. Recreation: Inside the park, visitors can wander off-trail to explore the endless labyrinth of goblins, or they can hike on 5 miles of designated trails.
Facilities: 24 site campground, group site, and 2 yurts with centrally located restroom and shower facilities. This route could be interesting for those coming from Capitol Reef, which is miles away, since it could be a chance to see two landscapes that are very close but completely different.
What will you find in this mysterious and underrated corner of Utah? First of all, it is good to know that it is in the desert, which means that there are very high temperatures in summer, variable weather in autumn and spring, and cold temperatures and occasional snowfall in winter.
In order to best observe these bizarre rock formations, you can follow several itineraries on foot. Here is more information about these itineraries:. The fastest and most direct way to discover the geology of the park is to go to the actual valley and walk around among the goblins and balanced rocks.
As you can see in the map of this useful brochure , the valley is divided into 3 zones: Valley 1, Valley 2 and Valley 3. If you park your car here , all you need to do is to walk down from the parking lot and you will find yourself directly in Valley 1 , which already contains an infinite number of rock formations to discover.
The kids will be entertained simply by exploring. And adults will be too…. If you want to reach the other 2 areas, you will have to keep walking south of the observation point , taking into account that this increases the travel time and that there are no marked trails, but only one big labyrinth of goblins that are thick and tall.
This itinerary is perhaps the easiest alternative to visit the goblins. It will take you from the campsite located just below the imposing Wild Horse Butte to the goblins along a fascinating trail through the meanders of the canyon, in search of the most unusual rocks that may appear behind a bend in the canyon or above every ridge.
To get to this point, you will need to take a small detour from the main trail, but the way is well-marked. If you decide to continue, you will have the opportunity to enter one of the slot canyons that are typical of this area. If you get lost, look for the rocks marked with blue paint. The trailhead is located on the northeast side of the Goblin Valley parking lot.
In this area of the park, visitors can see the Curtis Formation , which is a geological formation that overlays the Entrada Sandstone. This trail, which is slightly more challenging than the previous one, will take you to some memorable points of view, from which you can contemplate not only the natural amphitheater where the goblins gather, but also Wild Horse Butte and the Henry Mountains.
Before beginning the trail, you must pay an entrance fee. The trail is located at the fork between the Goblin Valley and the campsite. As I mentioned earlier, the iconic Three Sisters can be seen in the short stretch of road between the park entrance and the main parking lot. Most visitors prefer to see the Sisters from a distance, stopping at the side of the road to take a picture, but there are those who choose to park their car in the clearing closest to the Three Sisters and approach the rock formation on foot.
