Our Scout group headed down to Goblin Valley this past weekend (4/17). The sky's opened and it rained in the area for a good couple of hours. The rain let up right when the team arrived at Goblin Valley. The group played capture the flag for two hours. Because of the rain and near new moon conditions it was pitch black in the valley. The group started out sliding through the mud with three inches of mud caked on the bottom of their feet. Two hours later, no more mud.
Because of the late hour when the group exited Goblin Valley, they decided not to drive out to Chute Canyon (as highly recommended by our friends on Bogley) and instead drove out to the Crack Canyon trail head and camped there. After breakfast, the team began the hike through Crack Canyon. For those who had never been in slot canyons before, the adventure was fantastic and beautiful. For those experienced in the slots and familiar with the Little Wild Horse and Bell Canyon loop and Ding and Dang loop, Crack Canyon was very ho hum. The good news about Crack Canyon, you're alone without the crowds at Little Wild Horse.
