The Hike Out - Goblin Valley
The Hike Out - Goblin Valley

Goblin's Lair canyon has become incredibly popular with beginners and other groups since it became "known". The canyon offers a short approach, short exit, and straight forward rappel, all very good beginner canyon qualities.

Though those are all good reasons beginners should do the canyon, the real reason to do it? The very short slot section is amazing! The rappel into the lair is unique and stunning. Beginners and experienced canyoneers alike will enjoy this short route.

Hikers can visit Goblin's Lair for the bottom easily, as well, making this a good recommendation even for the non-technical. On a hot day, the Lair provides a welcome respite from the heat and sun.
