| Hole in the Rock, where a Mormon party once spent several months constructing a route to take their cattle and wagons down to the river. They also built a road up the low mesa you see on the other side and then moved on to the east, eventually stopping at, and founding, what is today Bluff, Utah. |

Only a few miles from Hole in the Rock, on Clear Creek, a branch of the Escalante River, is one of the most speech stopping and thought stopping of places in Glen. It's that corner ahead, where the canyon narrows. This is the spot where many walkers freeze in their tracks in sudden silence and simply stare at the sight and listen, enraptured by the sound, around that corner. This is the entrance to Cathedral in the Desert. | |

these things lost;
and under the vaulting cathedral burn a candle to the memory. from Time and the River Flowing by François Leydet |
