Goblin Valley on Halloween

What better place to spend Halloween than - Goblin Valley!
There are definitely some spooky looking rock formations. 
Goblin Valley is a Utah State Park and it was not crowded at all on this Halloween Day.
 The hiking was quite an adventure. 
We explored this wash and made our own trail.  There was no danger of getting lost since we had some unusual rock formations to mark where we had started.   
I loved walking on these narrow, sandy trails at the bottom of the canyon. 
This desert lizard didn't seem at all bothered by the paparazzi!  He was just soaking up some rays. 
A longer hike took us around behind the rock formations to see the "Goblin's Lair". 
The Goblin's Lair looked very "Lord of the Rings-ish."  I could picture the goblins up there throwing boulders down on us! 
Great last stop before we started back to Boise.
The drive to Provo was also an adventure.  We listened to our GPS which decided to play a trick on us and took us on a crazy drive on what was barely a road.  At one point the GPS didn't even think it was a road!  No worries though as we made it to Provo to spend the night with Tammy and Richard and then home the next day.  I love making memories!

  1. Goblin Valley is my favorite monument.Dad took the family there except for George during a summer trip when I was 17 years old and Tammy was 7. We all had so much fun that we did not want to leave, but after an hour the heat was too much.
