Clear Creek Canyon

Clear Creek is a narrow side canyon a short way up the Escalante arm, which leaves the main channel at about mile 68. At its head is Cathedral in the Desert, a tall alcove with a waterfall that is underwater when the lake is high and reappears when the lake drops below about 3,605 feet. Go slowly in the narrows and watch for other boats.
