The opening paragraph of this article, particularly the first sentence, seems a bit overblown for a reference work. It reads as if it was lifted directly from a tourist brochure. My instinct would be to edit it to remove fluff about dancing skulls and whatnot, but I see that a number of other editors have left the whimsical language. Given that, I thought it would be best to bring the tone of the article up for discussion before making changes.
[edit] Possible Copyright violations
A portion of this article is directly ripped off of this website [1] (scroll down until you see the paragraph labelled "Goblin Valley" in pink and the next few paragraphs). Large portions of this article are also ripped off directly from utah.gov, but I think that information from any government website can be used directly unless it says otherwise, if I'm not mistaken. Either way, this article reads like a travel brochure and should be completely re-written (and possible the information transferred over to Wikitravel, if it isn't over there already?) bob rulz 01:53, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] It's an advert, not an article
Agreed with the comment below. Who wrote this, the state park manager or something? There is no room for adverts on what is meant to be a neutral encyclopaedia.
