 TRAILS
starting from the Lodge offer guests a full range of hiking, from
easy walks around the LAKES, to alpine meadows abundant with WILD FLOWERS
in the summer months. The "CATHEDRAL RIM TRAIL"
follows a high alpine ridge 8500 feet above sea level. This day hike leads
to the UNUSUAL GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS that CATHEDRAL PROVINCIAL PARK is best
known for. THE DEVILS WOODPILE,
STONE CITY, SMOKEY THE BEAR
and THE GIANT CLEFT are
all on THE RIM TRAIL.
The 360-degree view from the rim enables hikers to see the NORTH CASCADE MOUNTAINS, THE COAST RANGE, THE THOMPSON PLATEAU, AND THE KOOTENAYS all from one location. On a clear day MT. BAKER is easily visible in the west and it is even possible to see MT. RAINER near Seattle.. Almost 200 air miles away! After a day of HIKING or FISHING guests enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub, a good meal in the lodge dinning room and a pleasant evening in front of the stone fireplace. There are no radios, televisions or even room phones and guests remark that the lodge is place where new found friends entertain themselves by engaging in the lost art of after dinner conversation. In recent years, articles featuring Cathedral Lakes Lodge and Cathedral Park have been written in such magazines as Beautiful BC, BC Outdoors, and Explore Magazine. Consensus is that hiking in Cathedral Park is "unsurpassed for sheer beauty or variety of terrain". CAMPER TRANSPORTATION SERVICEBesides all inclusive vacation packages, Cathedral Lakes Lodge also provides a service to transport campers, by four wheel drive vehicles, from our base camp to the provincial campgrounds 'in the core area of CATHEDRAL PROVINCIAL PARK
