I'm on my way to Bullfrog Marina on Lake Powell to join 35 other WINs on 3 houseboats for 6 days. What was I thinking?
On the way, I stopped off near Goblin Valley State Park. There's a great free camping spot on Temple Mountain Road just past the road to Goblin Valley.

The State Park is cute, with all kinds of little hoodoo-like structures.

You can walk down among them anywhere you want.

Nearby is Little Wildhorse Canyon. It's outside of the park, and a marked turn directs you to the parking area. It's a neat little slot canyon. Starts out wide, with easy walking.

Boy, those rock-peckers have really been working hard!

But it soon gets narrower -

And more challenging.

I joined back up with the WINs at the primitive campground at Bullfrog Marina. These are some of the houseboats they rent here.
