On Saturday Clarissa woke up at 5am, which was painful (especially since she woke up twice during the night) but a blessing in disguise. Since Clarissa woke us up, we were up and ready to hit the Valley of the Goblins before it got hot.
When we got to the valley around 6am, we were the only ones there. We had a little breakfast in the picnic area overlooking the valley, and then the kids raced down the steps into the valley to explore.
By the time we were done exploring the valley, it was already getting hot. We were so grateful for the early start. We went back to camp and Abe took down the tent while the girls explored by our tent site and I took care of Ammon and Clarissa.
After we broke camp, Abe and I discussed heading to Capitol Reef National Park for another adventure, but we decided to just head home and have a normal Saturday instead. We were amazed that Goblin Valley was close enough that we could have BOTH an adventure and a regular weekend all at once!
