Goblin Valley - Wildhorse Window, The Yurt & More

[@martinforrester8249]

That was the best footage of this place I've ever seen, so thankyou. My second visit to this awesome place was in 2003. I took a mate, we camped there.The next day we hiked the loop of Little Wild Horse and Bell slot canyons. I didn't know of the existence of the Goblins Lair caves, and there certainly wasn't that fab Yurt around during that visit ! I love the Southwest of the US... SO ...much, but now 8O years old, my visits to your wonderful country are over. I enjoy your vids and banter, so keep em coming please.

[@odelloutside]

Wow just Wow... Thanks again Jerry!

[@russward2612]

Thers no shortage of amazing scenery in the 4 Corners States. Thanks for letting us all share this little bit. Cant wait to see what's next. I can see why sci-fi movies film here as an alien landscape. 🏜️🛖🖖✌️

[@CindyT.-yy1ik]

YURT! Very cool place.

[@DyanEsoap]

What a cool place! And the Yurt is fantastic!

[@lesliegiacomelli1044]

The places you go! Thank you for taking us along!

[@oldboater]

Another amazing place and amazing video, you and Tina are also amazing.

[@shreyjaiswal1683]

Incredible. I love your channel man thank you.

[@kevinhale4921]

Ive been to Goblin Valley and Goblins Lair but the drown footage was a perspective that I had never seen before. Thank you.

[@christopherjames1453]

Heck yeahhhh, nice, many thanks!!!

[@JSees]

Wow, I have never heard of this place before and now I want to go! What an incredible and weird landscape, just fantastic.

[@Expressionistix]

Peteoglyph area looks like the area the first scenes of Koyaanisqatsi were filmed.

[@debbilermond1553]

Absolutely magical! Jerry, you and Tina are so blessed to be able to go do this trip. I've never heard of it but will certainly put it on my bucket list, for sure. Your drone footage and editing are so expertly done, you guys will probably put a dent in the travel channel on cable tv. Happy hiking and watch those steep, slippery slides. 😉😂

[@sleepingbirddog5314]

I wanted to do Goblin Valley on our last trip, just didn't have the time. The list keeps getting longer on things to do on our next trip to UT. Great video and music as always. Thanks for taking us along. :)

[@axcab3437]

Excellent video. We stayed at the same Yurt several years ago! Didn't have the nice table back then. And been to Goblin's Lair a couple times. The 2nd time we just missed a group of about 8 that had just rappelled. Would've been cool to see. Next time you go, there's a cave near the start of the Lair's exit. You can see the entrance at 6:22 just to the right of Tina's right shoulder. It zig zags for about 20 feet before it gets lower and lower until you have to crawl. Eventually it got too tight (and freaky) to continue. Head lamps required. Raises the excitement meter. Anyway, thanks for bringing back those wonderful memories.

[@JerryArizona]

We took a rope there years ago and were going to do the technical route but ended up doing something else instead. Maybe one of these times...Not sure on the cave. I'm not big on super tight spaces.

[@truth-or-nothing]

Completely Amazing 😊

[@anniebooo]

Thanks for taking me with you on this trip! Amazing videography Jerry! All the best from down under, Annie

[@billj5645]

You could have seen the full eclipse from my front yard, but I've been to the Window and it's a lot neater than my front yard.

[@krigsgaldr5619]

Hi Jerry, the Lair was impressive, and Goblin Valley is just a blast. Thanks for sharing, keep up the excellent work! Cheers...

[@CameronCox_1969]

Seriously Dudes , how has that place missed my screens. Thank you again for adding to my todo list ❤

[@JerryArizona]

At first glance, it just looks like some interesting rock formations. But there's a lot more out there. We didn't even scratch the surface this trip. (If you ever go, make sure to at least add Little Wildhorse canyon onto your trip. Great slot canyon nearby.)

[@lynnnorthrup8914]

Tina always has the right response to your comments. The Wild Horse Windows are amazing. You missed the neat little slot which is just to the south and there’s also a petroglyph panel just up from it. Done this hike a few times as well Goblin Valley. We were over a week later than your visit and did Crack Canyon behind the reef and the drove on to Escalante. You would like that hike. Thanks for sharing Goblin’s Lair as we have done that one.😀👍

[@JerryArizona]

There's so much to see out there. We did visit a nearby petroglyph panel, but didn't have time for any of the slots in the area. Maybe next trip.

[@papajon62]

Saw this place a few years ago in July on a 100+ degree day. Needless to say we didn’t stay long, but really enjoyed it. Those Goblin 👺 hoodoos act like radiators when you walk amongst them, and make it feel even hotter! I believe some sci-fi movie(s) have been filmed there. 9:03 Kissing Rocks 🪨 🪨. Didn’t see those caves though. So cool 😎. We’ll need to go back on a better day. Thanks for taking us along!

[@AlaskanGoldMiner]

Gorgeous cinematography! ❤

[@JerryArizona]

Thank you!

[@tangenttrails]

Dang! That’s a boss looking place!

[@wandaneuschwander47]

I absolutely love you two and your videos, I am a new subscriber your videos are very peaceful real stuff thank you so very much

[@JerryArizona]

Thanks and welcome aboard!

[@fotobd]

Awesome as always guys! We’ve stayed in both yurts at Goblin, and ready to go again! :) Thanks for sharing!

[@JerryArizona]

Planned the whole trip around that yurt and it did not disappoint. Glad you've gotten to experience them. Yurts are always a good, rustic time, especially with scenery like this.

[@westzonal]

Hi Jerry, i am so jealous that you get to live in this wonderful corner of the world! Great video again, really nice shots and presented by you in your usual likeable way. I visited Goblin State Park once over 30 years ago, but only briefly visited the "penis" area. If I go there again, I'll have to take my sticks with me. Greetings from Germany, Martin

[@ropersix]

Wow, I didn't realize that park was so interesting. I'll admit it, I've been lazy in the past, and passed up chances to stop by for a night when in the area because I didn't think there was all that much to see (given everything else in that part of UT). And now I regret it! But I'm glad you two had such a nice time.

[@JerryArizona]

Honestly, I thought the same thing. We went a few years back and spent maybe an hour in the valley and left. But I got the yurt and started researching and found some other spots that I'd missed. It was a great day/night. And so many other things to see in the area.

[@wimotten8353]

Another beautiful spot. Loved seeing it! And what a fantastic place to see the solar eclipse without other people around you. Did you notice a drop in temperature? I remember that from years back when a total eclipse was visible here in europe. The yurt looked cozy 👍🏻😄

[@JSpacaj]

I like both places. Goblin is magical and Wild Horse Window is where I first went rappelling.

[@pappysproductions]

"Going to da yurt" Tina nailed it first try. You did great too, JAZ😄

[@carolleimbach6407]

I love Goblin Valley. Thanks for taking us to the lairs, because we didn’t go to those. They're so cool!

[@debbieneel8344]

I've also walked among the Goblins👍🏼

[@arunphillips6977]

Jeezus H on a pogo stick, this place is scary as hell. The thought of those rocks caving in while you're in that lair is truly terrifying!

[@CactusAtlas]

Oh, awesome! So glad that you got to experience going inside Goblin's Lair. Only SLIGHTLY envious you managed to get Yurt #1. But super glad you took advantage of the permit to fly your drone. Walking through those goblins is one thing... but flying over is a whole other story when it comes to video. And as always, yours didn't disappoint. 🙂 Great video. Hope you both had a great time there.

[@mmadman]

Jerry, I think the fact that you had to slow down has made your videos better in some ways. You are still sharing beautiful, incredible sites with less stress on yourself and your viewers. I noticed your wife (who is still a 10, you lucky lucky guy) curses less, but is still smarter than you. 😀 Your adaptation has been a slow, but great pleasure to watch. Thanks for taking us places we might even be able to get to!

[@JerryArizona]

I'm sure I'll get back to doing stupid things eventually. But it is nice to slow down and enjoy things without all the extra work sometimes. And I agree. Tina is definitely the smart, good looking one of the two of us.

[@jimbrooks7245]

@@JerryArizona And to show my musical taste is not entrenched in the early 1700's, I offer the following musical commentary from my youth: Slow down, you move too fast You got to make the morning last Just kicking down the cobblestones Looking for fun and feelin groovy

[@EllieG123]

You always seem to post when I’m going through your videos looking for a new one to watch😂. This is incredible! I honestly had no idea Goblin’s lair looked like that! Sketchy as hell for sure, but worth it haha

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Going to the Yerrt. 🙂Yes, I'm aware it's Yurt. Man, I drove past Goblin State Park about 7-8 years ago ... had I known what was awaiting ...

[@SherylAZ]

😊 thanks for forking over the $10 for the drone footage!!

[@joansidor5191]

Love your videos.... you are very talented and have a knack for it. Lol JS

[@michelle_ajema]

The "I just can't believe where we are" soundtrack at the Yurt is exactly what I'd say too! 🔥🔥🙌🏾 And that footage of you going down behind the Yurt is hilarious. 😂

[@JerryArizona]

The video does not do it justice at how steep it was. Makes me look like I'm a chicken.....of course, I kinda am sometimes.

[@michelle_ajema]

@@JerryArizona I know how deceiving cameras are with steep slopes 😅😅😂

[@pixelpeter3883]

One of my favorite places in the desert southwest! :-) Be aware: very very slippery and muddy after some rain

[@MarieTrone-xl4zq]

Magic! Camp on a full moon, and then go play among the goblin formations in the moonlight! Totally magical!

[@debbieneel8344]

That would be fun!!

[@MoonJuiceHikes]

Well done Jerry! Definitely got your $10 worth on those drone shots. Looks like a fun weekend.

[@JerryArizona]

It was a blast. That climb into the Lair was sketch with one arm though. You know I'm going to make you and Troy take me up Praying Hands when I'm healed, right?

[@MoonJuiceHikes]

@@JerryArizona say when, looking forward to it!

[@jenjen88toros67]

Such unique landscape, almost like sandcastles! What an experience for you both! And to stay in that Yurt, how wonderful! Thanks again for sharing another awesome experience!

[@johnoreilly9638]

Amazing! 🤩

nice rocks and yurt, thanks for sharing...

[@indtexcol]

Nice. Dorking around on the internet, reading more crummy and divisive articles, I save the best for last - the latest Jerry & Tina video. I feel much better, now. 😊

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

Wow, all this in a STATE park. Utah is truly amazing. I thought Arizona scenery was special. Great drone footage too, by the way.

[@FullLeadTaco]

Awesome footage, thanks for sharing! Next time you should do the rappel into the lair--super fun and cool doing it in the evening with headlamps.

[@baldophil1386]

Magnifique..

[@aldenmoffatt162]

Nice video. Glad you brought a drone!

[@dixielambrecht7009]

Awesome as usual Jerry. I've been there a few times but haven't heard of the window...where is the trailhead?

[@JerryArizona]

It’s on the way into the park. Not too long after you turn off onto the road to the entry gate. It’s on the right.

[@brianvititoe8721]

So cool!😎

[@walkingwithawookie1097]

That drone footage could’ve been from Mars❤️ My wife isn’t as much of a fan of camping as I am. When she saw your accommodations she said “that wouldn’t yurt my feelings”😂

[@moretoliving2236]

Pretty darn cool indeed! I saw your winter video of this place so watching this in more "forgiving" time of year is amazing!

[@JerryArizona]

We definitely got to experience more this trip. The first time we only had an hour or two and it was a sloppy mess.

[@Sam-r6h3l]

Jerry you missed out on rappeling both of those! Wild horse window is cool because it's like a magnifying glass. So, the rappel looks huge but is only 90 ish ft. Also also, goblins lair there has two options to rappel down. The second variation is cooler because you come down through center of the ceiling.

[@JerryArizona]

I’ve been wanting to rappel goblin’s lair for years now. Even took all the gear once but it was snowing and we didn’t have time. One of these days. Didn’t realize you could rappel through the window though.

[@theicangram]

What a great video. I had never heard of that place. Thanks for the share. Just put it on my lllllonnnggg list. :)

[@jimbrooks7245]

Bach Cello Suite No 1 in G minor - I approve. Fit the mood perfectly.

[@kenlodge3399]

Well I'll tell ya you have some amazing places to visit where you all live. I discovered the western desert way back when I was wee bit of a youth and found it pretty pleasing, surprisingly so. Where I come from it's the lake district, I'm surrounded by great lakes and have ventured just about every adventure they offer. Aye, but I love contrast and know I would really enjoy a trip back out to the desert landia. Really like that first cave with the eclipse and all the ancient wall paintings. Then that trip to Goblin Valley, I did hear about way back when. That was another very amazing place. So much so I start to get the notion you guyz are some really lucky sunza-bitches, to be near such amazing landscapes!!

[@robhebbs7960]

Sadly the first time i heard og goblin valley state park was when it was on the national news. A family of assholes were knocking down a couple of the goblins and filming it. Im going to look it up now and plan a trip . Thanks guys.

[@JerryArizona]

Hadn't heard that. I hate when people do that kind of thing. But I definitely recommend it. There are a lot of other amazing places out in that area too, so it's worth a look.

[@kcreeves199]

Goblin Valley is such a special place. We were just by there a week ago or so on our way to Capitol Reef. It was pouring rain so we decided to skip it this time.

[@JerryArizona]

Yeah, it would be a sloppy mess in the rain. Capitol Reef is another great spot though. Hopefully you had some good weather too.

[@WJr_88]

This is on pinned on my Google Maps (my bucket list... All those green flag - want to go)... Added this spot as a stop on to this year's fall trip! Amazing video, thank you for sharing!

[@JerryArizona]

It's a great spot. There's so much in that area. Check out Little Wildhorse Canyon if you're there. Beautiful, non-technical slot canyon nearby.

[@WJr_88]

@@JerryArizona thank you. Got it marked now too 😁

[@JaxBespoked]

Heading there in two weeks! I only spent about three hours in the park last time (in the aughts) and always regretted the short visit. But I did get some seriously bad@ss photos that hang on my living room wall.

[@JerryArizona]

Enjoy! If you have time, I highly recommend Little Wildhorse Canyon while you're there. Beautiful non-technical slot canyon nearby.

[@JaxBespoked]

@@JerryArizona I just returned to the East Coast. I did the Little Wild Horse-Bell loop first and then did Goblin's and Goblette's Lair in the afternoon. The climb down into Goblin's Lair was indeed quite sketchy, I did the last third down the middle but should have gone down on the right! It was NOT scrambling, that was definitely climbing. But overall, despite the acrophobic adrenaline rush, it was an amazing experience.

[@Tipi_Dan]

Wowsers!

[@duanehundley]

Turn the camera on him now. Haha. Jealous of the yurt.

[@geezeradventures9330]

Is the $10 drone permit thing just at Goblin Valley, or other state parks too??

[@JerryArizona]

I've only seen drones allowed at Goblin Valley. But then again, I haven't asked at other parks. Usually they aren't allowed though.

[@johncameron8149]

Wow!

[@dgemini2]

Love your stuff, and I'm also from Phoenix (50 year native!) I've been to Goblin Valley once, but just the main part of the park. I learned about the Wildhorse Window after the fact from another channel I follow and I'm hoping to get back there this fall. What time of day was it when you visited? Was it difficult to find? Thanks!

[@JerryArizona]

We went mid morning, I think. Maybe 9~10? It wasn't hard to find, but there aren't any real trail markings once you're on the rock. But you can see the alcove where the window is from the parking lot, so it's not too bad. We had the trail marked on our GPS but didn't need to use it.

[@dmn3773]

Awesome video, good drone shots, why is the quality so janky though?

[@JerryArizona]

No idea. Didn't look that way on my end. Sometimes the monitor/TV/phone you're watching on can't keep up with information where the image is scrolling. But I also shot the drone shots in 24p and was going too fast. Wish I could've gone slower and/or shot at a higher framerate so I could've slowed it. I don't get enough practice with the drones.

[@jonathankuhn483]

Lol Tina's eyes at 0:13

[@JerryArizona]

It was funny. A mix between her geeking out at the view in the lair and trying not to laugh at me talking.

[@markc4050]

Tristan of SUVRVING has a video he shot rappelling into the lair!

[@JerryArizona]

We had the gear and were going to do it a few years ago. Didn't have time that trip and my arm is still healing (which is why I was such a chicken this trip). But I definitely want to do that someday.

[@wwdagger]

Is that the same part of the cavern that people rappel into or is there a deeper part that you can rappel into? So much of what I read says that the only way into the lair is by rappelling.

[@JerryArizona]

@@wwdagger that’s where you rappel in. You can walk in too, like we did.

[@wwdagger]

@ thanks! Your videos are the best!

[@ericmorin471]

Are those yurts able to be cooled in any way?

The original DJI Mavic Pro. I'm sure the newer ones are much better, but I can't use it enough to justify buying one.
