We will be going there in early October and am looking forward to it. Thanks for showing the caves. I didn't know there were caves there. This just makes me more eager to get there. Thanks so much 😊
Have a great visit... Should be a wonderful time to see the area. The cave was kind of hidden. From what I can recall, it was down into the cavern and then off to the left.
Though I reside in 'far off' Houston, I make the trek to Utah at least once a year. I can't get enough of the place. In is a state full of wonderfully wild, beautiful (and sometimes strange) places, Goblin Valley is perhaps the most wonderfully wild and strange of all. These formations, which in person have a surface quality that looks less like rock and more like sculpted red mud, give the sense that the first big gully washer of a rain storm will sweep them away. Yet here they stand, defying the elements. They are especially awesome in early morning light and in the bluish light just after sunset. It is the kind of environment where you almost expect to see astronauts walking around in bulky suits, collecting rock samples to take back to Earth for the amazement of all. Thanks for your fine work capturing this unique area!
Haven't heard of Goblin Valley...Hoodoos are always fun. Going to need to add this park to the list. Glad you filled out your permit, great drone shots! What a great place to get out and play! Hope you are having an amazing summer, man it's flying by!
Hello America's Parks 😊😊, Randy, I enjoyed the cave tour of the Goblins. I sure wish I was there too. Amazing! Now, is it time to visit Rainbow Bridge, National Monument!
Hi Randy, I want to thank you and your crew for another truly awesome park video. The area is so remarkably unique and fascinating....God Bless you all... Robin 🙏💗
Yeah, this state park was on my to-do list for many years until I finally got to do it! I'm glad you got to experience it for yourself because it's a very unique landscape unlike any place else! I didn't know you could fly a drone with a permit. Your footage was amazing from the drone! I did hike to the Goblin's Lair, but I did not go into the cave because I was solo and wanted to play it safe. I'm glad you were able to show me what it looks like in the cave, though! Awesome video, Randy, and thanks for bringing me back!
Awesome video as usual. Next time you're in the area, consider hiking Ding and Dang Canyon for an exciting hike. It's just passed Little Wild Horse Canyon in the area of Goblin Valley State Park. You won't be disappointment; especially if the canyon is dry. Funny you commented someone should have brought climbing gear, because people frequently rapell into Goblins Lair; something I've always wanted to do.
Thank you 😊 I am from Iraq 🇮🇶 overseas and my fate brought me here to USA 🇺🇸 my home now I love how you show many places in the USA while other Americans travel around the world and they have this beautiful heaven in their land.
What a really unique area. Glad you were able to get things situated to get the drone out - the shots were great. Those caves were amazing. That tunnel really starts narrowing down as you get further in. Randy, you just need to flex and those walls will move right out of the way for you!
Ohh my goodness! You guys are a courageous bunch! Were you not concerned about getting lost in the hoodoo maze getting back to the car?? Were you able to depend on gps to keep y'all on track? And then there's the cave! Geez! That literally got my heart pounding a bit. I literally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw y'all back in the car. 😲 I LOVE southern Utah though! ❤️ Thank you for another beautiful but slightly stressful video! lol
This is another great find in the area. It resembles the Toadstools (between Page and Kanab), but on steroids!! Those caves are excellent. Thanks so much for sharing this with us all. Take care always 😊
So cool !! I have seen some videos about Goblin Valley, but to see it through the lens of America's Parks is such a treat> Thank you for sharing as always, and much love
Yeah, heard some things about that when we were in the area. Butch Cassidy and his boys would hide away in a nearby canyon as well. Such fascinating history.
We visited Goblin Valley in 2021 but didn't know there was more than 1 Valley. Not very observant. 🤔 Maybe we'll get to revisit it someday. Maybe during the millenium. 🙂 The caves looked really cool. Thanks.
...as I always say, Southern Utah is near the top of my list to explore! I've been near the area but never experienced the Goblins so it was great to see it through your lens! Thanks again Amigo!
Still another amazing area of Utah that seems not quite as well known. I have not made it there yet but first saw this remarkable place in Malick film THE TREE OF LIFE.
what a scene, wow// that last shot of the goblins as you are leaving is really nice// awesome hike but man we were scared watching you in the caves, giving us major claustrophobia hahaha !! great stuff thanks for taking us with you
The thing about Utah is that the State Parks are just as good or better than many National sites. Heading there tomorrow( Salt Lake) and for the next 2 weeks for deliveries. Hoping to knock out a site thats been on the list for some time now. That cave looked crazy! Is Goblin Valley kinda close to Capitol reef? I also cant wait to hear about your most recent trip. Hoping you guys had some nice weather for it( its been hot!). HInt.....my place to see in Utah is also a cave. Hope all is well my friend and thanks for another great video!
Hey buddy, yes, fantastic recent trip to CA with Julie. We got home on Thursday. Weather was hot when we arrived (especially around Yosemite), but it cooled off a bit when we made it to Lassen. Nights were comfortable. Goblin was about an hour from CPNP. Enjoy your trip!
Hi Pastor Randy! I was wondering what type of camera(s) you use to record your videos for RUclips and what software program you use to edit and knit together your video clips to make your finished product RUclips videos? Thanks so much! 🙂
As of late, I've been going almost entirely with my new iPhone Pro. Good quality and a lot easier than a big camera like the G9 Lumix I was using. As for the software, been using Adobe Premier for the last 5 years. God bless!
Randy and gang + everybody, does anyone recognize this place as being somehow familiar? If you saw the goofy movie with Tim Allen as a spaceman in Galaxy Quest, this is where he had the run-in with the rock monster. I was here way back in the '90s, just after the movie had come out, so it was in the forefront of my memory.
Excellent now, I don't have to go. Drive by it on way from Zion Bryce back out to I 70. At the split in the reef. Interstate Hwy. You can climb/walk to top. Either side. I like south side. Instead of this one. It's epic.
If there is no trails, how do you find your way back? That would scare me a little. Although fun to see the hoodoo. Cave tour in complete darkness besides the light. 😶
Yeah, a little adventurous indeed! Thankfully we were able to just head in the right direction with the hoodoos and the "field" of them was somewhat contained. Enjoy your week!
Awesome video my friend! That looked like quite a fun experience exploring the inside of that cave. Thanks as always for sharing your travels with us!
Didn't even know about the cave. So cool to have found that one by surprise! Enjoy your week!
Thank you Randy, hope you have a blessed week as well!

I went here two years ago,really cool place!! Loved walk through the Gobilns
Wonderful! Glad you have been able to experience this gem!

Hello Al... glad you enjoyed the video. Only three more uploads left from the Utah trip! :) Enjoy your week!
The belly of the beast! Can’t believe how far in that cave you went. Such an other worldly place!
So true! Actually there is a place called the "belly of the dragon" in Utah! www.utahsadventurefamily.com/belly-of-the-dragon-kanab/
Hi Randy, I want to thank you and your crew for another truly awesome park video. The area is so remarkably unique and fascinating....God Bless you all... Robin 🙏💗
Thanks Robin! It was nice to combine this one with Little Wild Horse on the same day. Something new around every corner in S. Utah! :)

Isn't it cool to relive your memories of a place through another's video/perspective? Really enjoy doing that!
Been meaning to get over there forever! That huge cavern is bolted at the upper opening for rappelling… great job man.
Hey buddy, hope you and the family are doing well! Cool stop right by Little Wild Horse. You'd love it there!
Awesome video as usual. Next time you're in the area, consider hiking Ding and Dang Canyon for an exciting hike. It's just passed Little Wild Horse Canyon in the area of Goblin Valley State Park. You won't be disappointment; especially if the canyon is dry.

Right on! Something new around every corner in that part of the state. We hit Little Wild Horse that day... made a note of the other one. Thanks!
Been there! Hiking into the goblins lair was great! We enjoyed it.
Glad you have enjoyed this special gem, Karri! So wonderful!
We were there April 2022.
Some small state parks are more exceptional than some national parks.
Regards from Germany
Very well said! Glad to hear you have experienced some of the most beautiful places in the USA!
Thank you 😊 I am from Iraq 🇮🇶 overseas and my fate brought me here to USA 🇺🇸 my home now I love how you show many places in the USA while other Americans travel around the world and they have this beautiful heaven in their land.
That was very well said... totally agree! Thanks for visiting the channel!
Thanks Randy ❤ You Deserve at least 100k subscribers.
That's very kind of you, my friend! Sure hope to get there one of these days! :)
What a really unique area. Glad you were able to get things situated to get the drone out - the shots were great. Those caves were amazing. That tunnel really starts narrowing down as you get further in. Randy, you just need to flex and those walls will move right out of the way for you!
haha! I'd flex and the walls would laugh at me!
wow, absolutely fantastic. Will definitely put this one on my bucket list. thank you Randy!
Good call, my friend!
Awesome as always! Appreciate you sharing these videos.
Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks! That was Great!🥾
Appreciate the kind words!

I LOVE southern Utah though! ❤️
Thank you for another beautiful but slightly stressful video! lol
Enjoyed the comment, Debra! Definitely an adventurous day... so fun to face these minor challenges! :)
This is another great find in the area. It resembles the Toadstools (between Page and Kanab), but on steroids!! Those caves are excellent. Thanks so much for sharing this with us all. Take care always 😊
Really glad you enjoyed the video, James! Have a super week!
The cave looked a little tricky to maneuver. Looks like all of you had a fun adventure!
Yeah, incredible time! Once we'll always remember!
So cool !! I have seen some videos about Goblin Valley, but to see it through the lens of America's Parks is such a treat> Thank you for sharing as always, and much love
Glad you enjoyed the video, my friend!
Cowboys used to hear their cattle here in the early 20th century. They called it Mushroom Valley. And movies yes, Galaxy Quest
Yeah, heard some things about that when we were in the area. Butch Cassidy and his boys would hide away in a nearby canyon as well. Such fascinating history.
We visited Goblin Valley in 2021 but didn't know there was more than 1 Valley. Not very observant. 🤔 Maybe we'll get to revisit it someday. Maybe during the millenium. 🙂 The caves looked really cool. Thanks.
Yeah, this place easily deserves more than one visit! :) Have a super week!
That is such a unique place. 😊 Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks and glad you enjoyed the video!
...as I always say, Southern Utah is near the top of my list to explore! I've been near the area but never experienced the Goblins so it was great to see it through your lens! Thanks again Amigo!
Great to hear, Robert! Something new around every corner in that area of the state!
GREAT video! It does look like another planet!
Hey Hailey, glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I hope you have a blessed week! :)
Place looks amazing. Very cool cave inside that cavern.
Yeah, actually stumbled on that hidden cave by surprise. Cool treat to end the trip!
Looks like a scene from Star Wars!
So awesome.
Right on, brother! Great memories!
Wow those caverns are amazing. Imagine camping in there.
Nice adventure.
Thanks much, Tom!

Just went there yesterday. It’s like if Cathedral gorge and Bryce canyon had a baby . Super cool park
Glad to hear you had a nice time there! Have a blessed 2024!
Very cool. Reminds me of Bisti in New Mexico. If you want to see that reach out to me. I’d love to meet and be your guide.
Thanks for the offer! Made of note of your kind invitation!
Omg those caves how brave are you I would be terrified of the creatures. No thank you haha

Haha.. yeah, so many places out there were movie sets due to their unique landscape!
Looks so incredible! I love landscapes like this. Not too fond of caves though 🙄
We weren't even expecting the cave. Kind of found that one by surprise. :)

I like cave
Great to hear!
Sleeves were optional on this hike it would appear. 😂
haha! Just be thankful the old men kept their shirts on! lol! Have a super week!
@@AmericasParks glad to see another video of my great state being enjoyed.
This video is almost 12 minutes long which is funny because that's about how long it takes you to see this place.🤣🤣
haha! Unless you go deep into that cave! :)
It's a very strange place
It sure was!
GREAT VIDEO, THANKS. I BETTER GO THERE SOON BEFORE THE HOTEL CHAINS MOVE IN AND THE FOREIGNERS TAKE OVER.
Much appreciated! Yeah, get out there... highly recommended!
I
