This beautiful and secluded Goblin valley was found by cowboys who were searching for their cattle. The valley is famous for its thousands of hoodoo rocks and Hoodoos. These hoodoos are mushroom-shaped rock formations of various heights, which is the speciality of this tourist destination. The erosion resistant layers of rocks give these rocks their distinct shape. The area’s vast landscape formed of sandstone goblins gives its visitors a feel of Mars.
Amongst the rock formations the visitors can discover many haunting coves and vehicle enthusiasts can find hundreds of miles of dirt roads waiting to be explored. The Goblin Valley State Park is an excellent showcase of geologic history. So lets go to Utah and visit the National park.
