The Pagoda (also referred to as the White Bishop) once lended the name Temple Canyon to the drainage currently known as Boynton Canyon (incidentally named after the Boeington family). This iconic butte, recognizable from all angles, is buttressed by elegant golden sandstone walls and capped by a conspicuous nipple of white limestone.
