Inside Cathedral Gorge State Park, soft bentonite walls pinch into short slot corridors and cave-like passages among spires and badlands. The slots are brief but photogenic and usually uncrowded compared with Utah canyon country. Paved access from US-93 reaches the visitor center, picnic area, and short trails into the formations.
