Goblin Valley State Park is a geological wonder ... It's the perfect manifestation of what Salt Lake Tribune reporter, Tom Wharton, said of these hoodoos: They stand like families of red goblins ...

Goblin Valley was created by sand deposited 170 ... It’s about 222 miles (3 hr 40 min) from Salt Lake City, 100 miles (90 mins) from Moab and 48 miles (1 hour) to Capitol Reef National Park.
