Hiked 12/23/23
A short walk among a field of hoodoos, or 'goblins,' with no defined trail so you may choose your own adventure! Hike allows you to get up close to a large assortment of hoodoos and is great for just wandering around in awe of the structures. Various large pillars may be seen surrounding the field.
A huge rock pillar may be seen rising above the empty desert, with large hills of eroded rock at the base, under a blue sky with thick clouds in the distance.
Looking back over the hoodoos towards the parking area with a massive rock slab rising up in the distant center. A couple of hikers may be seen walking among the 'goblins' to the right.
A field of hoodoos gives way to a larger structure of rock that is turning into more hoodoos. This is finally backed to the distant right by a large rock structure that one day will erode into what lays before it.
