The rock formations are created by erosion with the harder sandstone eroding slower than the softer siltstone. Hence we have these unusual shapes they call
Goblins.
The area is large and magical rock formations are everywhere. We hiked to the far ridge taking our time to name some of the formations.
This one we named "ET" for obvious reasons.
Friends Ken and Beth joined us in Green River and we spent about two hours hiking in the valley.
Ken is holding up the rock...... no he's not pushing it over
One last formation. These I called the "Chinese Children" since the looked like children from the Disney ride It's a Small World
Goblin Valley is a pretty amazing place and we really enjoyed our time there. Off to Moab tomorrow.
