The Cathedral in the Desert in 2021 with a red boat

The Cathedral in the Desert is a natural formation, sometimes referred to as an amphitheater,[1] buried under Lake Powell in Glen Canyon.[2] Due to the Southwestern North American megadrought, the cathedral has been visible in 2005 and 2019. Lake Powell must drop to 3,605 feet for the cathedral floor to be visible.[3][4]

The Cathedral is located at the head of Clear Water Canyon off the Escalante.[5] Most are familiar with the feature from a Phil Hyde photo in 1964 taken just before Lake Powell began to fill, and many are seeing it for the first time now.[6][7]

OARS, the first National Park Service-authorized rafting outfitter that travels the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon has a dory named in the cathedral's honor.[8]
