Cathedral Peak Trail Survey - 11-24-2018 - by Jonathan RocqueLink: Cathedral Peak Trail Date: 11-24-2018 Surveyor Name: Jonathan Rocque Trail description: This is great and challenging front country hike which includes lots of bouldering. The trail is relatively easy to follow through to Cathedral Peak. Finding the trail down from Cathedral Peak to La Cumbre Peak is very challenging. The chaparral is thick and there are several trails that can be misleading. I used Google Maps to find my way back to the trail which then climbed to La Cumbre Peak. The Hiking Project app has a very good description of the trail and the hike. It's referred to as the ACLCT Loop.Mode of transport: Hike Trail condition: Needs some work Images:
