Goblin Valley State Park

After going to Capitol Reef we went to Goblin Valley State Park. It was about a 1-2 hour drive from Capitol Reef. This is a place Matt has taken his scouts a lot. The Rocks have been made into forms that look like Goblins by the wind, rain, and ice. Matt and his scouts have had fun many a time playing capture the flag here at night. While there we looked to the west and dark clouds started to roll in. We saw lightening and heard thunder. Just as we were getting to the car it started sprinkeling. We had a lot of fun climbing around in the different formations. Some of them looked like turtles. Matt pretended to hold up a bunch of the goblins. As we drove into the Valley of the goblins there were three of them that looked like they were gaurding the area.

After visiting Goblin Valley we decided we would get a motel room in Green River because we knew we were going to get rained on. So we drove the 45 min to green river and found a cheap motel.
