Cathedral Gorge State Park is an impressive state park located in the southeast region of Nevada. It is two and a half hours away from Las Vegas and and two hours away from Great Basin National Park. The caves and cathedral spires are made of clay and were formed from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Bizarre but beautiful Slot Canyons. I visited plenty of slot canyons before and this place is a bit different than others. The slot canyons here are made from ancient mud, and has this fluted appearance that no other sandstone slot canyon has. The slots are generally quite short though, probably only about 50-100. Cathedral Gorge State Park in Panaca, NV is a hidden gem in the heart of the Great Basin Desert. The Great Basin Desert is the largest US desert, which covers an arid expanse of about 190,000 square miles and is bordered by the Sierra Nevada Range to the West, and Rocky Mountains to the East.
