While not as famous as the national parks, Utah does have an impressive collection of state parks. One of the best of these is Goblin Valley State Park. The park has a similar geology to Bryce Canyon, with an amphitheater of hoodoos being the main attraction. Goblin Valley is a great place in which to play games, chase the family around, and scrabble among the hoodoos. And don’t forget to check out nearby Little Wild Horse Canyon – one of the best slot canyons in Southern Utah. Goblin Valley State Park is located in the San Rafael Swell, north of Hanskville.
