Clear Creek Canyon Hike

Clear Creek is a narrow side canyon of the Escalante arm, about 70 lake miles from Wahweap and about 30 from Bullfrog or Halls Crossing. It narrows quickly and the entrance can be hard to find. Cathedral in the Desert, the alcove and waterfall at its head, is underwater when the lake is high. It is far from any marina, so bring enough fuel and supplies; recommended for experienced boaters.
