An Overland Journey to Cathedral in the Desert. In the old days, Cathedral in the Desert involved a several mile trek up the Escalante River and then about another mile more up Clear Creek Canyon. Although one could hear the amplified trickling sound of water, the entrance kept its secret until you unexpectedly rounded a corner into a great glorious chamber. Reflected light from above bathed the Cathedral in a warm glow. Mosses and hanging gardens provided vivid accent dashes of green and a small waterfall cascaded playfully into the huge plunge pool that formed the base of the Cathedral. It was no doubt a serene and spiritual place.

As the lake levels fluctuate, each trip to the Cathedral in the Desert can produce a new look and feel.

The Cathedral is a natural wonder that some say is even more beautiful than the Grand Canyon. It’s in Utah. And if you’ve never seen it, or even heard of it, that’s because 40 years ago, it disappeared under hundreds of feet of water after they built the Glen Canyon dam.

The easiest way to get the Cathedral is via boat right down from hole in the Rock Road. You can access this area via hiking but it is an extremely difficult trek requiring repelling and rope areas for safety. For those of you who love canyoneering it is the hike for you. Out of the 96 named canyons in Lake Powell, and the many other interesting things such as the lake water, Anasazi ruins, rock art, arches, caves, slot canyons and stream hands-down the Cathedral will always be the ultimate spot that I have witnessed at Lake Powell. The speed boat ride wasn’t bad either and yes I am proof they will rent a boat to anyone who can pay.
