Cathedral Ledge

People often ask, what is there to do around here if you only have 1 day to explore? Another issue are persons with disabilities who want to experience the outdoors, but have trouble with hiking in the forest. The answer is twofold - Cathedral Ledge and Rocky Gorge

Today I will discuss Cathedral Ledge. Cathedral Ledge sits on the west side of the Valley. You can drive there in less then 15 minutes and from the summit you can see the entire valley. I was able to spot my New Red Roof recently, although now that the trees are greening up, that might not be possible. I have been up on the ledge for Sunrise's and I was blessed with a fantastic sunrise one Spring morning last year. When you drive up there, you park at the end of the road and walk less then 100 yards to the fenced off ledge. You are right at the precipice so be careful. The fence will protect you, but I have seen children climb over the fence...it is a 400 foot drop straight down.

You may be lucky enough to see mountain climbers who are on the mountain every weekend during the summer. Don't throw any rocks as the sign indicates as you may hit someone.

I suggest sitting quietly and enjoy the great view. It is awesome to say the least. Don't forget to bring your camera.
