The Golden Cathedral via Golden Cathedral Trail in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Along the way, you’ll cross the Escalante River multiple times, and in the final stretch, the Golden Cathedral’s striking sandstone arches and the soft glow of reflected light from above provide an unforgettable sight. #Hiking #Desert #Canyon #Nature #Sand #Rock #Arch
