I was planning on taking the family down to Goblin Valley in @ 3 weeks for maybe 2 nights but I don't want to be in a muddy leftover mess from the snow.

My boy is 3 and my girl is 1 so she'll be in the backpack. We'll most likely just be sleeping in the tent.

I wouldn't mind finding some 2 mile hikes at the most. Suggestions?

I was down there this past weekend, and the snow is all gone and everything is dried out already. I've been meaning to post a quick TR and just haven't gotten around to it, but here are my photos from Saturday: http://picasaweb.google.com/Dennis.Udink/GoblinValley#

I think pretty much anything you want to do in that area in three weeks, you can, without worrying about mud or snow.

I am headed down to the Goblin area next week so I can let you know what the conditions are like.

If youre driving your Tacoma make sure to check out Farnsworth Canyon its short, sweet, prefect for kids, and close to the main road ( MAP (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hl=en&t=h&msa=0&msid=116464634257947976353.00045896df04e8839cb83&ll=38.666748,-110.629835&spn=0.038199,0.090895&z=14))
