Goblin Valley has these structures crafted from sedimentation and erosion. They were cool and I found one that looks like a goblin…or maybe an elf…
I stayed in Green River. The state park was amazing and it had grass! The town is very rundown which is pretty sad and it seems that drug addiction is rampant her as well.
Capital Reef
Mormons came here and created a small community that is shelter d in the canyon and they were able to divert some water to grow fruit trees. It is like an oasis here.
The Gifford pie shop gives homage to the history of fruit trees here. of course I had to get a strawberry rhubarb pie.
I then worked it off with a long hike.
On the way to Panguitch, I went through Escalante National Staircase. It was some of the narrowest roads with steep drop offs.
A view from the bottom of the canyon…
