Cathedral Rock/South Loop Trailhead.

Very wide and popular Cathedral Rock Trail.



Looking back the way we came, Cathedral Rock pictured on the left.


Cathedral Rock on the right. In order to keep the grade reasonable on the well-traveled trail, the route first heads south of Cathedral rock, then curves to the west, and then finally to the summit.



A forested section just west of Cathedral Rock.
