Goblin Valley was founded in the 1920’s by cowboys searching for an alternative route between Green River and Cainsville. They came to a vantage point that overlooked the valley and were awed by the view of 5 buttes and a valley of strange shaped rock formations surrounded by a wall of cliffs. They named the area Mushroom Valley. In 1964 the state of Utah acquired the land and renamed the area, Goblin Valley State Park!
We were amazed when we saw the valley; the shapes are truly spooky! The park allows visitors to hike among the goblins in the valley and we were able to get a drone permit to capture the goblins from above!
