Cathedral in the Desert ('http://hatchcanyon.eu/Navigation/USA/Utah/Escalante/CathedralDesert/index.php')

Have you ever been there?

Travellers from the 1950/60ies described this place as a magic one. Lateron it sunk into the rising waters of Lake Powell.

In June 2004 the reservoirs level had fallen that much that we could float with a boat into this great hall. Even it had not fallen completely dry we got an idea about it must have impressed people in these earlier days.

Have always wanted to go check it out. This summer when we rented a houseboat, no one else wanted to go which was unfortunate:(

Another time.

A great pic though.

Went in there last month with my kids to show it to them for their first time. The water level was up just hitting the top of the waterfall now. Last year we had to climb up the waterfall to get over the lip and hike up a bit.
