Among the Goblins

Holiday weekends provide us the chance to spend time with the fam and what better place to do that than in the Valley of the Goblins. I've been here before on several occasions but somehow I missed out on the coolest sights. Everything about this landscape is alien and unique which provided us with plenty to see and do.Roy and Casey climbing up through the numerous narrows

All on top
At dusk we made our way among the Goblins. The valley floor is littered with thousands of these mud hoodoosHere is just one of the many smaller squat hoodoos

Making our way among the larger hoodoos

A harvest moon was just rising as we wondered back. I only wish I had a camera that could do it justice. Absolutely amazing!

The sunrise the next day was just as spectacular


The next day we were going to hike little wild horse canyon, but we opted for a safer canyon due to the flash flood potential.

I would say a most enjoyable trip was had by all!
