The Cathedral in the Desert - Clear Creek Canyon Lake Powell

This spectacular spot is truly a gem in Lake Powell. Found at the end of Clear Creek Canyon, The Cathedral in the Desert is a narrow red-rock chasm leading to a lush grotto. Depending on the lake level it is accessible by small boats or personal watercraft. On our visit we took a 24' Maxum and squeeked through the narrow passages to find a small anchoring spot. The narrow passages create a mystical ride, and keeps you wondering "what's around the next bend?" or even "will we make it around the next bend?!" As with many canyons at Lake Powell you find yourself dazzled as you look up at the weeping walls, or viewing the beams of light as they make there way down the shaft. Once you reach the end it's a short hike up to the grotto - emerald pools and lush vegetation. You can view a map and guide to Cathedral in the Desert at the following website: Offshore Marina at Lake Powell, near Bullfrog Marina.

Lake Powell Stanton Creek Campsite

Stanton Creek Campsite at Lake Powell is adjacent to Bullfrog Marina and a great setting for people wanting to car camp at Lake Powell. With a short ride from the launch ramp in Bullfrog Bay it's a great place to set up camp and get access to watersports, fishing and canyon exploring at the lake. Here are a few selected images from a photo shoot of the area. You can see a guide for the area at Offshore Marina's website, or click this link to view Lake Powell Stanton Creek.
