About Cathedral Range
The Cathedral Range is a spectacular mountain range located in the heart of Yosemite National Park in central California. This granite-dominated range features towering peaks, deep glacial valleys, and pristine alpine lakes. The rugged terrain is characterized by steep, jagged cliffs and dramatic granite formations that create a truly awe-inspiring landscape. The range is part of the Sierra Nevada mountain system and shares many geological features with the nearby Yosemite high country, including evidence of extensive glaciation during the last ice age.
