  • Goblin Valley State Park and The Complete Experience! Located in southern Utah, the park features thousands of hoodoos, referred to locally as goblins, which are formations of mushroom-shaped rock pinnacles several feet tall. Visited late May, 2023.

    Awesome video as usual. Next time you're in the area, consider hiking Ding and Dang Canyon for an exciting hike. It's just passed Little Wild Horse Canyon in the area of Goblin Valley State Park. You won't be disappointment; especially if the canyon is dry. Funny you commented someone should have brought climbing gear, because people frequently rapell into Goblins Lair; something I've always wanted to do.

    • @AmericasParks
      @AmericasParks  11 місяців тому +1

      Right on! Something new around every corner in that part of the state. We hit Little Wild Horse that day... made a note of the other one. Thanks!

    • @AmericasParks

    Yeah, this state park was on my to-do list for many years until I finally got to do it! I'm glad you got to experience it for yourself because it's a very unique landscape unlike any place else! I didn't know you could fly a drone with a permit. Your footage was amazing from the drone! I did hike to the Goblin's Lair, but I did not go into the cave because I was solo and wanted to play it safe. I'm glad you were able to show me what it looks like in the cave, though! Awesome video, Randy, and thanks for bringing me back!

    Ohh my goodness! You guys are a courageous bunch! Were you not concerned about getting lost in the hoodoo maze getting back to the car?? Were you able to depend on gps to keep y'all on track? And then there's the cave! Geez! That literally got my heart pounding a bit. I literally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw y'all back in the car. 😲
    I LOVE southern Utah though! ❤️
    Thank you for another beautiful but slightly stressful video! lol

    • @AmericasParks

    What a really unique area. Glad you were able to get things situated to get the drone out - the shots were great. Those caves were amazing. That tunnel really starts narrowing down as you get further in. Randy, you just need to flex and those walls will move right out of the way for you!

    Randy and gang + everybody, does anyone recognize this place as being somehow familiar? If you saw the goofy movie with Tim Allen as a spaceman in Galaxy Quest, this is where he had the run-in with the rock monster. I was here way back in the '90s, just after the movie had come out, so it was in the forefront of my memory.

    The thing about Utah is that the State Parks are just as good or better than many National sites. Heading there tomorrow( Salt Lake) and for the next 2 weeks for deliveries. Hoping to knock out a site thats been on the list for some time now. That cave looked crazy! Is Goblin Valley kinda close to Capitol reef? I also cant wait to hear about your most recent trip. Hoping you guys had some nice weather for it( its been hot!). HInt.....my place to see in Utah is also a cave. Hope all is well my friend and thanks for another great video!

    • @AmericasParks
      @AmericasParks  11 місяців тому

      Hey buddy, yes, fantastic recent trip to CA with Julie. We got home on Thursday. Weather was hot when we arrived (especially around Yosemite), but it cooled off a bit when we made it to Lassen. Nights were comfortable. Goblin was about an hour from CPNP. Enjoy your trip!

    At the split in the reef. Interstate Hwy. You can climb/walk to top. Either side. I like south side. Instead of this one. It's epic.
