As anticipated, i am running out of time in my family vacation schedule and can do one of these oarks the day we depart our ABB in Hanksville. (May 13)

After exploring that park we will head up to Green River for a couple nights but are doing Moab next day (May 14)

Time wise Goblin makes sense.  And gas wise.

BUT will I miss something so awesome at Bear I will regret not driving those 3.5 xtra hours and missing Goblin?

The 14th is just kicking around Moab and rafting from 11-5.

Goblin Valley for a couple hours then head over to Little Wild Horse Canyon or Bell Canyon down the road for a couple hours. Hoodoos and slot canyons, great way to spend the day if you're into cool land features and hiking.

Bears ears if you enjoy some beautiful scenery and Native American archaeological sites. You’ll need a day pass for the best stuff, but there are some great historical sites to hike to.

My family prefers Goblin Valley, but we usually hike the slot canyon loop while we’re there.

Goblin it is!  Will try to hit  one of the others u mentioned.  Appreciate the input.

Ill try to get into arches before 7 am on our way to Moab the next day to make up for missing Bears Ears.  All slot times were sold out last I looked

Were leaving Joseph this AM  to do Fremont River State Park when it opens, was supposed to be last night but we would have arrived just 15 minutes before it closed—i did not realize the State Parks had 9-5 hours.

Originally were going to do Little Wild Horse Canyon but skipped it to do Fremont, so a bummer.

Actually planning in driving Cow Dung Road to the Mars research station on the way to Hanksville today.
