Goblin Valley State Park is a delightful Utah state park named in honor of its unique hoodoo rock formations, which line the park's terrain and reach heights of several meters at some points.

The park's distinctive rock features, which were created by the erosion of soft sandstone covered in erosion-resistant rock layers, are frequently referred to as "goblins" by local residents.

They are some of the largest hoodoo formations in the world and have been recognized as important cultural sites by indigenous and pioneer cultures for hundreds of years.

Visitors can explore the park's surreal landscape throughout the year, which was showcased in the feature film Galaxy Quest as an interstellar landscape.

Picnicking, camping, and nature photography are popular at the park, which is also known as a popular spot for families to play hide-and-seek amongst the unique landscape.
