Description
Cathedral Gorge State Park became one of Nevada's first parks when the Civilian Conservation Corps carved out camping and picnicking facilities in the 1930s. Some are still in use today. One of the park activities includes a fun-filled day of hiking and exploring the narrow slots or ravines, with some openings just wide enough to squeeze through. These fascinating shapes were cut eroded from an ancient lake-bed. The bentonite clay quickly erodes, slowing any plant growth and making it impossible for new life to gain a foothold. This barren and eerie landscape looks up toward Miller Point, where an overlook and stairs look over the gorge.
