USA - Utah, Goblin Valley State Park
![USA - Utah, Goblin Valley State Park USA - Utah, Goblin Valley State Park](https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/94/90/48019490.28f7c162.640.jpg?r2)

Goblin Valley is a small State Park, about 2 miles long and 1 mile wide. In the valley are thousands of amazingly shaped rock figures, most of them no more than two or three meters high, surrounded by a wall of eroded cliffs. The shapes of these rocks result from an erosion-resistant layer of rock atop relatively softer sandstone.
In 1949 the valley was named "Mushroom Valley", because many of the rock figures resemble mushrooms. Later the name was changed into Goblin Valley, which is also a well chosen name because one can easily see an army of gnomes in these hoodoos. Goblin Valley State Park (and Bryce Canyon National Park) contain some of the largest occurrences of hoodoos in the world.
The goblins, like the surface of the valley, all have the same chocolate brown colour. Plants and flowers can hardly survive in this dry, warm environment, so there is no vegetation at all here.
It is also allowed to walk into the valley and wander between the goblins.
Goblin Valley was granted the status of State Park in 1964.

Excellent shotS !!!!!!!
The mountain is disappearing and stands a sea of rocks
I really like the desert landscapes and this is stunning!!
Thanks, Jaap!!
The rocks formations are stunning! It must be quite difficult to work out how to compose this sort of image - simply because of the randomness of it all..............but you've cracked it and actually managed to find and capture a leading line into the shot! The light and colours are beautiful.
Two super images in the PiPs as well. Excellent work Jaap!
How many wonders lay there.
Thank you for the note Jaap.
To be HONEST with you, Jaap...I cannot show these to my husband because he'd want to GO THERE NOW and we can't! So then he'd be bummed out as we have some steps before leaving on our trip. But when we get to the point where we begin planning for trips, I'll have Steve sit and look at my list of links that show your outstanding presentations. He'll eat them up. He loves your photography so much, as I've shown him plenty, but I don't want him to see any of your incredible park shots until we can actually go! :)
Regards TOZ.
Eine fantastische Bildgestaltung.
Freundliche Grüße und einen schönen Sonntag
Erich
Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))
