Goblin Valley State Park: Hiking back to the North along the East side

As we headed back toward the parking area 

from the West side we started to see 

people again. 

There had been some few footprints

in the west side but we didn't

see any people.

Our route back was along the South hills.

This gives a perspective to how big these shapes are

in relation to the visitors.

I love this one. 

On the internet it might be under the cation of

"The Moment before tragedy struck."

She was fine but it made for a pretty good pose.

Notice the "Sentry' formation to her right?

She was actually on top of the ridge. 

The fun part about this ark is that 

you can climb on the formations.

However there are plenty of them that

I wouldn't even give a thought to about 

climbing up onto since I felt vulnerable to 

falling rocks near a lot of them

especially 

if I were there and there was an earthquake.

Goblin Valley State Park: The Nest

As we hiked along the North ridge of the park 

and started toward the West end, 

we passed an area off to our

right that I decided to refer to as 

"The Nest"

There were so many little 

HooDoos up the small ravines and it made it 

look like they were just growing there.

These two images came from the left side looking 

into the area where most peope walk and hike.

But off to the right were the ones 

just starting to form or had less water to recede 

and make them like the others.

That's why I call it their nest.
