About The Tour

Goblin Valley might be overshadowed by Utah’s nearby Mighty Five National Parks, but this state park warrants its own spot on your travel itinerary. Until you visit Goblin Valley, you just don’t know all the magic and splendor that Utah’s backcountry has to offer. The park protects Goblins - thousands of sandstone hoodoos - and you’ll experience the beauty of these on hikes, at overlooks, and with hours of storytelling on Shaka Guide’s Goblin Valley State Park Tour.

Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the Goblin Valley State Park Tour!

• Visit Little Wild Horse Canyon
• Take in views at Goblin Overlook
• Discover ancient history at Temple Mountain Wash Pictograph Panel
• Hike at Wild Horse Window Trail
• Marvel at hoodoos at The Three Sisters

What is an Audio Tour Guide?

GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk. Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.
The app works offline so even with spotty service we’ll get you where you need to go.
Pretty cool huh? We think so! Check out our tours and let’s explore together.
