Goblin Valley State Park is located 50 miles south of Green River and 12 miles north of Hanksville off highway 24 in the San Rafael Desert. The park features thousands of hoodoos, referred to locally as goblins, which are formations of mushroom-shaped rock pinnacles, some as tall as several yards (meters). The distinct shapes of these rocks result from an erosion-resistant layer of rock atop relatively softer sandstone.The park lies within the San Rafael Desert on the southeastern edge of the San Rafael Swell, north of the Henry Mountains. Utah State Route 24 passes about four miles east of the park. There are 5 marked trails totaling 6 miles. Dogs on a leash are allowed in the park.
