Little Cathedral Walk (Cathedral Range State Park)
Visitor Tips: The trail includes some exposed ridge walking, where there is little shelter. Check the weather conditions before setting out, and allow plenty of daylight to complete your walk. Weather conditions can change quickly up on the range, so be well-equipped and wear appropriate clothing, and wear sturdy hiking footwear. Carry sufficient water to stay hydrated (there are no natural water sources on the trail). Phone signals are unreliable – hikers should consider carrying a radio or personal locator beacon, and don’t forget to communicate your intentions to friends or relatives before setting out.

Do not undertake this walk on days of higher fire danger or when storms or strong winds are forecast. The Park is in the Central Fire District.
