The most fascinating part of the park is the road behind the visitor’s center.  There are unusual formations with colors of white, pink, yellow, purple, orange and many shades in between.  There is also wonderful texture as foreground for your photographs.

As you start behind the visitor center you'll go up an incline a see a nice view of balanced rock. You'll have to drive back down 100ft to park and walk up. Don't miss the White Domes. Park at the very end of the road and walk in a few hundred feet and you'll some interesting striations in the red rock for a foreground for the White Domes. About a quarter of the way in that part of the park is a road that goes to Fire Canyon and Silica Domes.  If you're looking for petroglyphs there are some near the visitor center.

Cathedral Gorge State Park is located one mile north of the intersection of US Highway 93 and State Route 319 near Panaca, north of Las Vegas.  This is a fabulous geological site with many eroding structures of the Panaca Formation.  It is a great deal of fun winding amongst the hoodoo type forms which can yield some bizarre angles and spectacular photos.  The area is small and can be easily covered in a day.  You may also see some wildlife, although unlikely in the heat of the day.
