Goblin Valley

This past weekend we went camping at Goblin Valley with our friends The Atherley's. It was SO much fun. Here are some highlights of the trip.


These pictures are from "The Valley of the Goblins". It was SO cool. The kids loved climbing on the rocks and seeing the "Goblins".






Chloe loved being in the backpack. (For about 5 minutes at a time).













The first day that we got there, Jed led us to a cave that he knew of. He sent Jacob in, and then pulled him out of a hole a little ways up. Brooklyn was nervous to go in, until Rob went in with her.
This is Brooklyn about to come out of the hole. The kids loved it and did it several times each. Rob was a little disappointed that Jed couldn't pull him out of the cave. ;)








This rock Jacob is sitting on looks like an elephant to me!
The first morning I had to get up early to make Chloe a bottle. Here is the sunrise I woke up to.




The second day we went on a hike called "Little Wild Horse". It is a slot canyon. Besides a little mishap I had, it was cool and beautiful.
The next day, everyone but Chloe and I, went on a hike called Crack. Here are some pictures of it.

We also went back to the Valley of the Goblins later that day. The following pictures are from that day.

































Here is a picture of the sunrise the morning we were leaving.


We loved our trip! We can't wait to go back!

Wow! Those pictures are amazing! Your kids are so beautiful and photogenic! That first sunrise is unreal!

Valerie S said...

Yeah, a new post! The pictures are great but they still don't capture the "weirdness" of Goblin Valley. It's just so surreal the first time you see it. Glad you didn't hurt yourself (much) or Chloe when you fell. Your first sunrise picture is fantastic.
