Subjects : In the late 1920s, Arthur Chaffin, owner / operator of the ferry Hite, and two companions were searching for an alternative route between Green River and Cainsville. ?? They came to a vantage point about a mile west of Goblin Valley and were impressed by what they saw five buttes and a valley in the form of strange rock formations surrounded by a wall of rocks erose.Nel 1949 Chaffin returned to the area called Mushroom Valley. He spent several days exploring the mysterious valley and photographing its dozens of complicated creatures eroded. The area was acquired by the state of Utah and in 1964 it was officially designated a park statale.Goblin Valley State Park is a showcase of geological history. Cliffs exposed parallel layers of rock reveal bare by erosion. Because of the uneven hardness of sandstone, the softer material is removed by wind and water, leaving thousands of unique geological goblins. Water erosion and the smoothing action of windblown dust together contribute to shaping the goblins.
