Moon Caves
Slot Canyon
Cathedral Gorge State Park
Nevada

Cathedral Gorge State Park in Nevada is home to the mesmerizing Moon Caves, a labyrinth of narrow, twisting slot canyons carved from soft bentonite clay. These otherworldly formations, sculpted by erosion over thousands of years, create an almost alien landscape where towering walls seem to glow in the shifting light. The Moon Caves’ narrow passageways and hidden alcoves invite explorers to weave through their surreal corridors, feeling like they’ve stepped onto another planet. The park’s unique geology, shaped by ancient volcanic activity and millennia of wind and water erosion, makes it a dream destination for photographers, adventurers, and nature lovers.
