Cathedral Rock — Saturday, Jun. 29, 2024

Picked a nice day to hike with sun and light breeze. The gravel road to the trailhead had some washboards but not as bad as late summer. The large parking lot was full by 8:30am. Based on the limited hikers I saw, it appears most were on the Deception Pass trail. I saw 15 total hikers (8:30-1:30) and a few camping. The mosquitos were active at both lakes so if they like your scent, bring feet.
The last 1/2 mile is mostly a snow field making parts of the trail challenging. Micro spikes would be nice but not necessary. This hike will be better mid July but still will worth going now.
