Goblin Valley is Utah's skull in the sky, parade of elephants, and dance of dolls. Unique and enchanting rock sculptures carved by wind and water suggest mischievous goblins of folklore still about their secretive deeds. Add year-round solitude in a remote desert setting and you have the stuff dreams are made of. The antics of these chocolate goblins amid balanced rocks, spires, and pedestals are limited only by your imagination.
