Were going to paddle on Powell but a high-windstorm moved in so we looked for an alternative and did this hike - like a half-day hike. Short but enjoyable. When you eventually get to the river it is spectacular just hanging on the beach. Good spot for a nap just because it is so peaceful. Occasional pumped-up rafters happen by (they are pumped-up because they just put in a short time ago.) The Cathedral hike can be tricky in a coupla spots, with canyon bottom your left on the way to the beach you can if need be use the 'ceiling' as a ballast in a steep spot. Heads up on water in the wash.

Nice hike; maybe not for beginners, unless you are a strong beginner. SWIMMING: Do not dive into pools as they may not be as deep as you think, you may get hurt and other people do not want to swim in the water after you are bleeding. I witnessed this there so it is not a joke. Generally this is not a good diving place, nor jumping place. Nice place to get your feet wet, though.

If memory serves me correctly, you take a right turn immediately after going through the ranger's booth, and drive approximately 1.5 miles to the Javelina rock T.H.

[1] If you have had recent knee (or other ankle/leg) surgery, perhaps give yourself an extra month prior to hiking this; or have confidence that your knees are up for this hike, as often the water is thigh-deep and you are hiking over bowling-ball sized rocks that can be and are slippery. If your knee is not fully recovered, it could be painful. Just saying. Trekking poles help, or a hiking staff helps also to tripod yourself. [2] Camp overnight, approx half-way through, or hike all 16 - 17 miles in a day, do-able if you are fast and strong.
