We returned to Goblin Valley after 8 years. The campground was still a wonderfully situated campground protected by some Utahish formations. The "goblins" were all still there....except for the one that was knocked over by some alleged Boy Scout leaders a day earlier -- made national press. As promised to our friends traveling with us, Ray and Ann, this stop would be the strangest, weirdest, and most unique walk. And it was.
Also hiked through Little Wild Horse Canyon, world renowned as one of the primo Slots. Seven miles we hiked in the San Rafael Swell, through the shoulder width seam, where "powerful erosive forces have buffed, fluted, fanned, and pocked the red Navaho sandstone walls." This claims to be for families; we saw a family with a 2 year old -- but don't believe it, it's arduous when you hit the water pools that forced us up and out of the slot, and began cairn tracking along the narrow canyon ledges.. All worth it, beautiful!
