Fanciful, castle-like formations can be seen jutting out from sandstone walls in various locations throughout the region. For an out-of-this-world experience, take a trip to Goblin Valley State Park in Emery County. It’s filled with unique sandstone formations, known as “hoodoos,” that often resemble goblins or other mythical creatures. The landscape is so surreal that many sci-fi programs have taken advantage of the area for filming purposes.

Central Utah is home to an array of natural wonders — dinosaur bones, goblins and “castles” — which are sure to delight even the youngest
If you’d rather take a trip back in time, consider a visit to the ClevelandLloyd Dinosaur Quarry, where you can literally walk among fossilized dinosaur bones — just be sure to plan ahead, as their operation schedule is limited.
