Little Wild Horse Canyon, Goblin Valley, Wild Horse Window
We headed down to the Goblin Valley area this weekend for a get together with one of our buddies who is getting married on Wednesday. The 5 of us shared marriage advice, mostly bad advice, and had a great weekend in the near 100 degree weather.
We did the usual tourist trap stuff, Goblin Valley State Park, Little Wild Horse Canyon, Wild Horse Window, and drove a bit around Temple Mountain. We camped out in the hoodoos just west of the park.
There were some windy days, and a few sprinkles of rain but not much.
Little Wild Horse Canyon was the least crowded I've seen it in years, probably because of the hot time of year. The first parking lot even had some empty parking spaces.
I took my DJI Phantom 4 drone down there too and I'm really happy with the footage I got from all 3 locations, I'll be putting that footage together in the next couple of weeks and I'll add it here.
I called prior to heading down there and asked if Drones are still allowed in the State Park, they are but just take warning this can change and can vary from State Park to State Park. Dead Horse Point currently has restrictions. I ended up talking with the ranger in person that I had called, and he had been interested in getting a drone for himself, so we had some good conversations sharing footage. It was nice to see that 2 rangers I spoke to at Goblin Valley are actually advocates for these quadcopters, kind of opposite of what a lot of people would think. I agree, if it's a noisy nuisance, shut that stuff down. I hate filming people anyways, and I hate when they are flown irresponsibly.
EDIT, here's my Wild Horse Window drone video from this trip:
