Charleston > Cathedral Rock

Cathedral Rock sits above the community of Mount Charleston. The trail goes through a tree lined path on a nice trail to the top of Cathedral Rock, a rocky limestone peak with great views of Kyle Canyon and the surrounding mountains. This is a popular hike with many hikers.

The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is comprised of rugged mountains with towering cliffs, steep hillsides, and deep narrow canyons, which are surrounded by a desert landscape. The area’s elevation ranges from 3,000 feet to 11,918 feet at the top of Charleston Peak which creates a variety of climate and vegetation zones including some 18,000 acres of Bristlecone Pine.
