Leader's notes

Look at the full description on the WTA website https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/cathedral-rock#hike-full-description

Commonly used to access the Alpine Lakes backcountry, the trail up to Cathedral Pass is a worthy destination on its own. Old growth forest, lakes, subalpine meadows, and an up-close view of the dominating Cathedral Rock make for a satisfying and scenic day hike or short overnight.
