Access Issue: Private Property Alert Details

Access to Cathedral Park Ranch crosses private property in some areas. Consult a map and park your vehicle before Clyde and the tunnel to avoid crossing private land.

Description

An unusual collection of spires, ridges, and chunky domes stands out of the area as you drive to Cripple Creek along Gold Camp Road. The nature and number of ascents in this obscure area is surely lost in memory or neatly written down somewhere out of sight. Harvey Carter is rumored to have put up routes here.

Per Kyle O: early writers described the rocks here as "hooded and cowled monks" and "vaulted arches of Old World churches.

Getting There

From where the paved road turns to dirt on Old Stage Road, set your odometer. Around Sugarloaf mountain and before St. Peter's Dome, the road connects with Gold Camp Road. At 12 miles you will pass Rosemont Reservoir. A small sign will reveal the town of Clyde, which is just before the tunnel at mile 20. Seven Lakes Road turns to the right before you cross a creek. At this junction you are still on NF land. The area is on the right just after the tunnel.
