Cathedral Lake Trail
Cathedral Lake Trailhead is off Castle Mountain Creek Valley, a 15 mile ride from Aspen. The road ends at the Castle Mountain wilderness; this trailhead is about a mile from the road's end. The initial climb is very steep. You gain about 2,000 feet in altitude in about 2.5 miles. The lake is about 3.2 miles from the trailhead.

You never come close to the cliffs in the distance. Instead, you veer off to the west and take a series of switch backs up onto the plateau where the lake is found.
