Goblin Canyon

The canyon showcases a couple cool runnel rappels and a short conglomerate narrows sections. It has some areas with pretty dark red color (similar to the nearby Red Wall Canyon). It is shallow (never gets high walls), but is scenic. Nice for a not-too-long day, but a bit of a trudge up the alluvial fan to reach the canyon mouth.

Drive on North Highway (paved) to a point north of Titus Canyon and park on shoulder. Walk a couple miles up an alluvial fan then start up the ridge. The best approach is likely the North Ridge (between Goblin and Hoodoo), a party who has ascended via the South Ridge (between Goblin and Grim Reaper) thought it would have been better. Note: If you don't take the North Ridge, you would miss the killer first fluted rappel in the canyon's picture right at the start of the decent.

North Fork (ascent via North Ridge) Make sure you don't drop in lower than the network of smooth rock watercourses so you don't miss the cool dual-fluted first rappel. South Fork (ascent via South Ridge) Confluence, Main canyon
