Cathedral Peak

Cathedral Peak is a summit of about 8,582 feet in Okanogan County, Washington, inside the Pasayten Wilderness. It lies within the Methow Valley Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, managed by the Forest Service, and the nearest town is Chopaka, about 21 miles away. As part of a designated wilderness, the peak falls under wilderness rules for the Pasayten. Several area alerts were posted for the Methow Valley Ranger District as of October 2026, including the Ptarmigan Fire Closure and a motorized use restriction on East Chewuch Road 5010. These apply across the district rather than to this summit alone and can change, so confirm their status before heading out. The peak sits close to a cluster of trails and climbing terrain. Amphitheatre Mountain, a climbing area, is under a mile away, while the Lower Cathedral Lake Cutoff trail and Cathedral Lakes Trail #545 lie within about a mile and a half. The Chewuch Trail is roughly 2 miles off.
