From the main trailhead parking area, Cathedral Rock is only a 1.25 mile round trip hike with a 740+ ft elevation gain. Beware, the distance is deceiving. The incline is pretty intense, so takes most people 40-60 minutes to reach the top with breaks for water and to enjoy the view, which is a 100% acceptable excuse to stop and catch your breath! Alltrails lists this trail as hard. If you are not used to hiking in the desert at elevation it can be a somewhat strenuous climb to the top because of a steep elevation gain and several spots where you will need to use your hands to climb/ scramble up.
