Few people ever come to Molly's Castle, because Goblin Valley
is just a couple miles further and you have to hike for about
an hour to get to Molly's Castle.
Some of these walls looked about 400 feet high.
How many faces can you see peering out of the rock?
A giant Goblin Valley.
Looking north.
Looking east.
Looking south.
From inside the crescent section of Goblin Towers.
The structure in the foreground is not a skeleton,
it is the material inverse of a heavily cracked rock.
Hard sediment filled the cracks
and then wind and water removed the rock.
Another inverted crack, some of this stuff was paper thin.
I think it is a good thing nobody comes here,
these paper rocks would quickly be destroyed.
In the far background, sits a precariously balanced cube of
stone.
A blurry telephoto of the balanced cube.
Under the section that supports the balanced cube.
Looking north towards the Nose Factory,
where God tools around with new nose shapes.
Looking south across the deserted flat lands,
I guess this becomes a swamp in spring.
Looking west toward Denyse conquering Butt Hill
Behind is Goblin Temple and The Pointer.
Looking north toward The Pointer and Goblin Temple.
Ode day before I die, I will visit the area and spend a couple of nights there. Would like to see it at sunrise and sunset and see the colours change. Thank you for sharing the treasure.

Often wondered. Visited and climbed within secret areas of the Goblin and Waterpocket many times. What a wonderful find, and how cool you've chosen to share!
