21 Natural Rock Formations That Look Like They Belong on Another Planet
13. Goblin Valley State Park, Utah, USA
Imagine a valley dotted with thousands of rock “goblins”—mushroom-shaped sandstone figures that look like they’re frozen mid-dance. Welcome to Goblin Valley, a bizarre geological playground tucked away in Utah. The formations were created by the gradual erosion of Entrada sandstone, leaving behind short, bulbous shapes that seem to smirk at passersby. The area feels animated, almost sentient, as if Pixar had a go at designing a desert. Though lesser known than Utah’s national parks, Goblin Valley is no less surreal—offering a fantasy landscape where imagination runs wild and reality quietly takes a back seat.
