Aaron Johnson and Cheryl Bradley bask in the glowing splendor of Neon Canyon, at the secluded and remote Golden Cathedral. Many crossings of the Escalante River and 5.5 miles of desert trekking are required to reach this spot. It's a worthwhile endeavor, taking one deep into the heart of the rugged canyon country of southern Utah.
