Cathedral Ledge is a climbing area in the Saco Ranger District of the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, about 2 miles from Conway. It sits among several other climbing and hiking destinations, so it works well as a stop on a day spent exploring the surrounding trails and boulders. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Conway show July highs around 81°F with lows near 58°F, and September still runs in the low 70s. That station sits about 500 feet lower than the ledge, so temperatures up high run cooler. The Central Wall and Cathedral Ledge Bouldering areas are both about 0.1 mile away, and the Bryce Path (Yellow) is just as close. For an overnight stay, Covered Bridge Campground is about 5 miles off.
