Cathedral Gorge

Easy to access location. The campground was very clean and neat. The main bathroom was closed for repairs, so it was a bit of a walk to get to the one that had the showers. The showers were nice and hot, 5 minutes for $0.25. It was nice to be able to explore the slots in the rocks formations freely.

Beautiful small state park. Good road to drive with very little Traffic. From Vegas to this state park there are 3 gas stations along the way but bring food and lunch and picnic. Limited facility.

A unique gorge area that has some impressive rock formations. The is also a couple of interesting rock structures including a water tower built almost a hundred years ago by the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Cathedral Gorge State Park is a must-visit for anyone looking to camp in a truly unique landscape. The park is famous for its incredible geological formations—dramatic spires and canyons carved from volcanic ash millions of years ago. Whether you're into photography, hiking, or just love exploring nature, this park has something special to offer. We stayed at Site 17, and it was the perfect spot to relax and take in the surroundings. The highlight of our visit was definitely exploring the slot canyons—they’re absolutely stunning and such a fun adventure!

We specifically drove 4 hours to Lincoln County for this state park. I'd say it was worth it. This was unlike anything I've ever seen and it was so unique. There was something new at every twist and turn. The slot canyons were way fun to explore. There's so much desert wildlife to enjoy as well! We stopped at the visitor center and the man working the desk was very kind and helpful.

It's an amazing hidden treasure. There is a 4 mile hike hoop at the end of the drive to enjoy. On the way, there are a few areas to stop and enjoy these formations and narrow paths. It's such a beautiful site to see and enjoy.

What a great state park! Not too busy but some really stunning scenery with unique stone spires and lots of slot canyons to explore. A few short, easy trails...I did the 3 mile Juniper Loop and it goes by some of the most interesting features of the park.

Hidden and very quiet gem. You can explore the park by choosing one of the five trails or just relax at the view point. If you are looking for adventure, you can go to the hidden little chambers by crawling through mud tunnels. The visitor center's hours of operation vary during the winter season. It may be closed when you arrive. You can pay the entrance fee at the pay station. Enjoy your day.

This is a great park! Our kids spent hours exploring the slots (caves) in these fascinating geological formations. I want to give a shout out to the wonderful park ranger working in the visitor center. I wish I remembered her name. She gave the kiddos Jr. Ranger booklets and they filled them out, but when we got back to the visitor center to get the ranger badges, we goofed on the time and it was closed. She heard us at the locked doors and she let the kids in to get their badges anyway. Great park and great people!

It's the best lesser known place to experience slot canyons! My 4yr old daughter loved the "caves" in the slot canyons! Her and her cousins had a blast exploring! I've gone here 5 or 6 times over the past 15 years and loved it every time!
