The scale-like patterns carved into the canyon walls and the way light filters through several openings—which produces an impression evocative of a legendary dragon's cave—earned this spectacular vista their name. With overlapping lines and curves generating captivating visual effects, the space boasts some of the most intricate geometric patterns in the canyon. The height of the chamber and the inward curving of the walls produce fascinating acoustics whereby sounds are reflected in unusual directions. This location especially appeals to photographers in late morning when the light produces strong contrasts stressing the roughness of the granite surfaces.
