back down 100ft to park and walk up.

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.
