Goblin Valley is a State Park in Emery County in central Utah, in the western United States. Its eminent feature is its thousands of hoodoos and hoodoo rocks, which are formations of mushroom-shaped rock pinnacles, some as high as several meters. The distinct shape of these rocks comes from an erosion-resistant layer of rock atop softer sandstone.
Hiking is permitted in the park, which features three marked trails.
Evidence of Native American cultures, including the Fremont, Paiute, and Ute, is common throughout the San Rafael Swell in the form of pictograph and petroglyph panels. Goblin valley is noted for several rock art panels as well as the rock formations. The secluded Goblin Valley was then found by cowboys searching for cattle. Then in the late 1920s, Arthur Chaffin, owner/operator of the Hite Ferry, and two companions were searching for an alternate route between Green River and Caineville. They came to a vantage point about one mile (1.6 km) west of Goblin Valley and were awed by what they saw – five buttes and a valley of strange-shaped rock formations surrounded by a wall of eroded cliffs. In 1949 Chaffin returned to the area he called 'Mushroom Valley'. He spent several days exploring the mysterious valley and photographing its scores of intricately eroded rocks.
Publicity attracted visitors to the valley despite its remoteness. In 1954 it was proposed that Goblin Valley be protected from vandalism. The state of Utah later acquired the property and established Goblin Valley State Reserve. It was officially designated a state park on August 24, 1964.

'Goblin Market' panel by Margaret Rope (made c1908 as a student panel based on illustrations by Laurence Housman whilst the artist was studying at Birmingham School of Art). Part of a collection of cartoons and material by Margaret Rope now held at Lucy House, the offices of the Rope charitable trust adjacent to the Holy Family Church, Kesgrave.(I'd previously seen this panel exhibited at the Margaret Rope exhibition in Shrewsbury a few years ago).
The church of the Holy Family & St Michael was built in 1930 to serve the local Catholic community at the expense of the Rope family, thus it is fitting that the most famous members of that family, the great Arts & Crafts stained glass artists and cousins, Margaret Agnes Rope and Margaret Edith Aldrich Rope, should be so well represented in the adornment of their family church.
The original church building was more of a chapel of ease whose congregation soon outgrew it, thus it has been greatly extended since, most significantly in the 1950s with a new nave added at a right angle to the original structure like a huge transept. Further additions were finished in 1993, giving the enlarged and somewhat sprawling worship space we see today.
The original church contains rich bespoke windows by Margaret Agnes Rope (known as 'Marga'), beautifully painted and detailed in jewel-like colours. The liturgical east window is a group of lancets portraying the Virgin & Child flanked by St Joseph & St Michael (commemorating Michael Rope who died in the R101 airship disaster in 1930, indeed the church was founded in his memory). To the liturgical south are windows of St Dominic and the English Martyrs whilst the porch contains further delightful vignettes.
The extension from the 1950s contains further windows by Marga but none actually designed for it. The new liturgical east window incorporates striking and superbly detailed figures of King David and Isaiah that originate from a nearby former convent. The central light that tries to unite with them in a new three-light window is an unhappy new creation from the 1990s that fails to balance the colouring and artistry of the Rope windows. It should be said however that matching Margaret Rope glass would be a difficult task for anyone, but the overall effect is best viewed at a distance. More of Marga's work can be seen around the church in the form of the framed and mounted cartoons for windows made for other locations.
Several further panels are the work of Margaret Edith Aldrich Rope (known as 'Tor'), one designed for the building and another earlier work (a stunning Nativity) was relocated here more recently. Finally there is here single light window of three of the English Martyrs in the side chapel that was originally part of the pre-extension church. The artist was laid to rest in the churchyard here in 1988.
Seeing this church with it's wonderful Rope windows was a hugely rewarding and immersive experience for me and I am greatly indebted to Simon Knott and his wife Jaqueline for so generously organising this visit for me. There is a much fuller account of the church and its treasure's on Simon's site below:-

Goblin Valley is a mysterious place. I decided to capture this panorama including myself (or at least my shadow) in the landscape.
This is an HDR series of 12 shots, each 4 shots taken side-by-side and combined in Photoshop.
