This past weekend we headed down to Southern Utah for a long-overdue family camping trip. The first day we headed straight for Goblin Valley State Park, which was a new site for us. It is unique, in that, you can climb in, on, and around all the goblin rock formations, caves, and anything else you find. There are no marked or designated paths. Lilly LOVED being the ‘leader’ and weaving us all over the park. š
This about says it all. She found sheer joy in being free to wander, climb, and run as much as she pleased:
This was called Camel Rock, which Andy immediately decided he needed to ride:
On a whim we decided to do Arches National Park in the same day. Even more last minute we decided to hike to Delicate Arch right away instead of waiting until the next day. In the interest of time we threw Lilly into the hiking backpack but Trin hiked the whole thing and kept up with our brisk pace mighty well! Here is our rock star hiker at the top:
One quick panorama shot on the drive out. Arches National Park in the foreground, the La Sal Mountains in the background:
