Explore Goblin Valley State Park
FamilyEasySpringSummerFallYear-round
Wander among thousands of mushroom-shaped hoodoos, feeling like you're on another planet. A fun and whimsical experience for all ages.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for at least 2 to 3 hours to freely roam the three main valleys as there are no set trails among the hoodoos.
- 2Bring plenty of water and a wide-brimmed hat, as the park offers virtually no natural shade and reflects intense heat.
- 3Pay the $20 vehicle entry fee at the gate or use your Utah State Parks pass since Federal Interagency passes are not accepted here.
- 4Download offline maps before leaving Green River or Hanksville, as cellular service is non-existent once you turn off Highway 24.
- 5Visit the nearby 'Little Wild Horse Canyon' for a classic slot canyon experience to round out your afternoon itinerary.
- 6Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip to safely scramble up the soft, slippery siltstone formations.
