Great family hike. There was still a lot of color in the quaking aspens, though it appears to be going away fast.

Took my 3 1/2 year old and 5 year hiking up to the waterfall (around 8280ft). They did great and didn’t need to be carried. Just make sure you bring plenty of water, snacks, and take breaks and they’ll make it no problem.

I consider this hike to be more of a moderate hike. Did it on Wednesday and it was awesome. About half way up there is an avalanche that has taken out some of the trail. If your capable you can traverse up the avalanche diagonally about 50 yards and find the trail again. Someone has marked it with rocks. The view at the top is well worth the work to get there

Cathedral Rock Picnic Area to Cathedral Rock, Mount Charleston, NV, USA

Easy to follow rocky trail that switchbacks up to the high elevation point of Cathedral Rock. Fairly steep and relentless up 900 feet, but otherwise not overly difficult.
