Cathedral Gorge - Looking Ahead

[JimFox]

From Cathedral Gorge State Park in Nevada. I got this about 2 weeks ago. What a fun place to go, I can't believe it took my 20 years to get there.

This is from outside the slots. The slots are coming, but I am trying to work up everyone's appetites for them.

And look for a travel video on this probably on Monday.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

That's a pretty cool looking place and I can't say I have seen many images from there. I just looked it up so I could see where this is and I can see why since it's not really on the way to anywhere in particular unless you are trying to get to Tonopah from Cedar City. I am ready to see more

There is a decent campground there with showers, but forget running into town for supplies, there's nothing around. I have stayed there a few times and loved it. Good astro location too! Nice detail you captured in the "cathedrals". Did you also shoot at night?

Looks like a fascinating place. The harsh light here is not helping. Would love to see some in softer light of day.

Thanks Alan, I recall one of the guys on FM who lived in St George had posted some images about 20 years ago. So this has been on my radar since then. And I agree it's not a location you see much of.

I might post some of the slot canyon images tomorrow before going back to some more looking up images.

Hey Michael, Thanks!

I didn't stay there as I initially planned on only being there about 2 hours to scout. I was coming down from Salt Lake City after dropping off my Z6II at Spencers camera to get it Astro modded with a Visible Light and Ha mod. I definitely thought about staying, but I had plans in SoCal already for the next day, and figured I would wait to go back for Astro after the Core of the MW starts to rise more. I did scout also with Astro in mind while I was exploring.

Thanks Jeffrey, it's a really cool though pretty small area. I will try to get back there again for sure now that I finally broke the ice.

Looks like a fun place to explore and capture. The colors and shapes are fascinating.

Thanks Jameel. It was a fun place and one I will be back to again. I wish it wasn't so far off from the I-15, as I could stop there more often, but then again that probably helps to keep down traffic there in general.

very cool, fun visit and captures

wow, Jim, this place is worth exploring ! I have added it onto my must-see list.

Do you need a high rise 4 x4 to get around ?

Thanks

Oliver

Thanks Oliver, it is a fun place to go an explore. It would be worthy of a night of a photo workshop. You could add Valley of Fire and this one for a shorter workshop.

No 4x4 needed. You could drive to it in a Corolla. Only thing you need to bring is clothes you don't care if they get dirty.

Thanks, Jim. I have seen the promo video of that park & suspected it's a beauty, your photos do the justice.
