Cathedral
Gorge State Park
Erosion
and climatic extremes have created a unique landscape in this
Eastern Nevada
State Park. Your first stop should be the visitors center which
has displays and information about all of eastern Nevada. The
Information Center is open from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm daily
and
is located at
the main
entrance
to the
park off US 93. The entrance fee is $3.00 per vehicle. There
is a one mile trail from the Picnic Area to Miller Point, which
is the best vantage point to oversee the Gorge. There is also
a four mile 'loop' trail which goes through the remote areas
of the park. Sight-seeing and relaxing outdoors are the main
attractions at Cathedral Gorge. The Miller Point Overlook has
outstanding views of buff-colored canyons, cliffs and spires. The
park has hot summers and cold winters spring and fall are
the
best time of the year to visit to avoid extreme temperatures.
