Show a view from cathedral canyon liy l';iul;i Cjiispirac, Park City High School While I was vacationing in Las Vegas, Nevada, I went to see a place called Cathedral Canyon. It is 60 miles north of Vegas and is somewhat unknown to the public. On arriving at the canyon, the first thing you can sec is a suspension bridge. This bridge goes over the middle of the canyon. If you walk on the bridge, you arc able to look down into the canyon. The most dominant thing you sec while you arc on the bridge, is a replica of the "Christ of the Andes" statue. The original statue sits in the Andes I Mountains betweenChilc and I Argentina. j After looking over the bridge, ' you may go down a path that leads to the bottom of the canyon. This path goes all the way through the center of the canyon. At one end of the canyon is a waterfall; at night it is lighted up with various colored lights. Walking through the canyon, one can see stained glassed windows, religious paintings and statues. All these have been put into the rock. These various items " mmfi from manv different churches. One stained glass window carrie from a church in China. All through the canyon are chairs where different religious re-ligious meditation groups can come and hold their meetings. The most fascinating time to see the canyon is at night. The entire canyon is lighted up and the music of various groups, religious or otherwise, can be heard while you are walking through the canyon. The man who put these things in the canyon, when asked why he did it, said, "For the enjoyment enjoy-ment of people." |
