... from a kick-ass hike to Cathedral Rock in the Catalinas
In April 2002, four people hiked up Esperero Canyon to Cathedral Rock. This was a long hike (18 miles total) with considerable elevation change, and as such it was planned in order to get ourselves in shape. The following pictures show some stations along the way.
