You'll have to backtrack to Rte. 178 and then head south to reach Golden Canyon, the first mile of which has a well-marked nature trail.  The narrow canyon, wedged between eroded cliffs and the slopes of badlands, displays rocks of varying hues, from bright red to brown, yellow and green. Looming above the trail are the fluted cliffs of Red Cathedral. Visible too is Manley Beacon, a bolden peak named for William Lewis Manly, a courageous pioneer who hiked all the way to Los Angeles to bring help for travelers stranded in Death Valley in 1849.

Near the end of the Golden Canyon trail is a large plateau formation known as Red Cathedral.  It is quite spectacular rock formation but needs to be seen at least two hours before the sun starts to set as another rock formation blocks the last hours of sun.
