Goblin Valley State Park Canyoneering Adventure

Hi Amy, Thank you for such a wonderful review! We love your title—"We will talk about this for years"—because that's exactly the kind of lasting memory we hope to create for our guests. It sounds like your family embraced every part of the adventure, from scrambling over sandstone and exploring caves to squeezing through narrow passages and making that unforgettable 100-foot rappel into Goblin's Lair. We're especially pleased to hear that Trent's patience, encouragement, and commitment to safety helped everyone feel comfortable trying new things and discovering their inner canyoneer. Goblin Valley truly is one of Utah's hidden gems. Many travelers come to the region for the famous national parks, but those who venture to Goblin Valley are rewarded with a uniquely adventurous landscape found nowhere else in the Southwest. Thank you again for joining us and for the great reminder about bringing plenty of water! We hope your family continues to share stories from this adventure for many years to come. Best Regards, Christopher Owner/Lead Guide Get In The Wild

Hi Amelia, Thank you for the wonderful review! We're delighted to hear your family enjoyed the adventure and that Trent helped make the experience both safe and memorable. His patience, encouragement, and focus on safety are qualities we value deeply, and we're glad they helped your family feel confident tackling the scramble and the 100-foot rappel into Goblin's Lair. Many visitors are surprised to discover that Goblin Valley State Park is one of Utah's hidden gems. While it's often overshadowed by the national parks, the park's otherworldly rock formations, dramatic desert scenery, and unique canyoneering opportunities create an experience unlike anywhere else in the Southwest. Many of our guests visit from Moab specifically to explore this lesser-known corner of Utah canyon country, and we're delighted that your family found it to be such a special adventure. Thank you again for joining us, and for the excellent reminder about bringing plenty of water! We hope to see your family back in the canyons again someday. Best Regards, Christopher Owner/Lead Guide Get In The Wild

Hi Tristin, Thanks for the awesome review! We are so glad you had a blast exploring Goblin's Lair with Tyler. It’s true that Goblin Valley State Park is approximately a 1.5-hour drive from downtown Moab, but as you noticed, the "Moab area" encompasses a massive, spectacular region! A lot of the best-hidden gems—and even major park overlooks—require a bit of a road trip to experience. We love that you made the trek to join us at one of the most iconic landscapes in the area. The incredible slot canyons and total solitude out by Goblin Valley offer a unique flavor of adventure that you just can't replicate closer to the main tourist hubs. We’re thrilled it was a completely new experience for you! Tyler will be stoked to hear your feedback. Thanks for choosing to get out in the wild with us, and we hope to catch you on the trails again soon! Best Regards, Christopher Owner/Lead Guide Get In The Wild
