Goblins in Utah

By Linda Tancs

It isn’t hard to understand why the otherworldly environment of Goblin Valley State Park makes it one of Utah’s most popular parks. It features hoodoos (sandstone formations of mushroom-shaped rock pinnacles, some as tall as several yards) that are said to resemble “goblins.” Some of them even form a maze, making the 3-square-mile attraction a kid-friendly playground. Canyoneering is popular there, along with a hike to Goblin’s Lair, a beautiful slot canyon.
