Cathedral Canyon and Famous Outlaw

South of Pahrump, there is a road going west from Nevada 159 -- I think it's marked "Tecopa." As you drive west, you'll see a sign marked "Cathedral Canyon.". Drive to the parking lot and park. There is a little canyon with all kinds of weirddisplays, some religious, some not. This also is the reputed burial place of famous Indian outlaw Queho.
