Hiking Merit Badge - (Hike #1) Goblin Valley and Little Wild Horse slot canyon - UT





Hiking Merit Badge - (Hike #1) Goblin Valley and Little Wild Horse slot canyon - UT

These areas are located right next to each other and we obtained hiking information from the nearby visitors center at the state park to plan our hikes. In Goblin Valley we explored the hoodoos and completed a large loop around the entire park while making our way through the strange rock formations. We spent the second half of the day exploring Little Wild Horse back to the point where is loops back in to Bell Canyon (4 miles in, 4 miles out).
