Itinerary description

Late start as we did a 9 mile hike in Boynton Canyon first. Cathedral Rock trailhead parking lot is closed to private vehicles on Thu-Sun until 5:30pm while the trail shuttles are running. You can either park at Little Horse Trailhead or "N SR-179 Park and Ride" and catch the shuttle to the trailhead. Note that the shuttle stops running to Little Horse Trailhead about 40 minutes before N SR-179. Since we parked at Little Horse and arrived a little after 4, we had to rush a bit to take the shuttle to Cathedral trailhead, complete the 1.2 mile hike, and ensure we got back by 5:40 for the last shuttle.

Short hike with nice panoramic views. Getting up to the Cathedral rocks requires some physicality. I honestly think the views from the initial plateau are sufficient if you're not able to hike up to the end of the trail. Plus you get a better pic of the cathedral rocks from farther away.
