On Saturday, Nov. 23rd we left Moab, Utah after spending an entire month there and exploring the area a well as we could. We visited Arches National Park nine different times, Canyonlands National Park four times and as many of the other attractions in the area as we could fit in.
We drove 120 miles back to Goblin Valley State Park for a second look under much different weather conditions. The first time we explored this wonderland of geological features in August, the temperature rose to over 100 degrees. This time it was only 50 degrees and we were able to spend much more time exploring because we didn't need to avoid the sweltering sun.
The white cliffs around the canyon edge were much more vivid in the cooler temperature.
The Goblin Army is still on the march along the top edge of the cliff.
Here is a two-headed Goblin right in the middle of the valley.
Donald Duck also made an appearance peering over the edge of this promontory.
It was great fun exploring all "Goblins" and regretted that we had to leave to finish our trip to the next place we were staying. So, we drove another 160 miles to Richfield, Utah.
On Sunday, Nov. 24th drove to St. George, Utah where, to our great surprise, we found a nice "River Walk" not far from the My Place Hotel we stayed in. It is a paved bicycle and hiking trail that loops around the Virgin River that runs through the center of the city.
Tomorrow we will start exploring the St. George area where there are several classy state parks😄.
