Having never been to the Cathedral Valley, I wasn't sure what to expect. I can assure you that I did not expect to see such a beautiful valley floor interrupted by sharp cliff edges. This place was so quiet, my ears were ringing.

The Temple of the Moon and the Temple of the Sun were some of the larger sandstone formations found in the Cathedral Valley.
