My recent post of 2018 photos caused me to realize that over the last two years almost all my posts of Utah parks have been accompanied by an apology for the smoke and haze from the California wild fires. So, to show some Utah red rocks and what our parks look like without smoke, the attached set is also from our 2018 tour,

Goblin Valley State Park contains hoodoos that are continuing to form. As erosion takes place, the hoodoo emerges, soft at first and then it hardens. Bryce Canyon is the prime example of the hardened hoodoos. Goblin Valley is the door way to the San Rafael Swell. It is also a wonderful dark sky venue.

We arrived around noon, but fortunately the overcast prevented the harsh light usually present at that time. I only had time to take shots from the main parking area, turning to different points of the compass to catalog the views.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

If I recall correctly , Goblin Valley is where scenes from the movie "Galaxy Quest" was filmed. When I first saw the movie my first thought was "is that CGI or formations made by a movie set crew". Now sometime when I'm out that way, it is certainly on my "must see" list.
