1111. The Cathedral Rock Trail
The Cathedral Rock Trail is less than one mile in length. Ah, but don’t let that fool you. It might be short but it sure isn’t for a newbie hiker.
The initial ascent is said to be pretty straightforward. The trail is even marked with basket cairns. When you reach a plateau stop to take in the wonderful view.
Shortly after that though you will have to make a decision. Do you keep hiking on the more difficult section or decide you have seen enough? Should you decide to go on, you should know your climb will be at roughly 45 degrees for nearly 40 feet.
If you are visiting when the weather is warm and dry the hand and foot hold will be good. If you’re visiting after it’s rained, beware of slippery conditions. While the view from the end of the trail is stunning, it’s not worth risking bodily injury.
