Drove this loop with my son two weeks ago, and it's hard to capture the vastness of the overlooks in photo or video. Definitely one of those things people need to try and see for themselves, but this video captured it about as best as you can.
Thanks for taking me along with your video. That campground looks awesome. I tried to mt. Bike this 20 years ago. Sand, heat, mud steep hills were no problem. There were killer flies that even 100% DEET would not repel. It seemed to attract them. I was forced to abort before they carried me away. I have to go back if for nothing else than that campground, this time with 4 wheels.
If those flies are the ones I'm thinking of, we call them cedar gnats and they have a very short lifespan. It's unfortunate that you encountered them, as they only come out for a few weeks between spring and summer.
Unfortunately, the map comes from the Cathedral Loop Road Guide which is published by NPS and isn't online as far as I can find. We purchased our at the visitors center and I wouldn't recommend going without it. It offers details on each point of interest and all the tips you should need for the drive.
Well, based on the timestamps from photos we started at 2:00 and finished around 10:00 so I would defiantly recommend dedicating a whole day to it. Catching sunset at the temples is breathtaking if you don't mind finishing in the dark.
Great video and information, this is one of the places I will be going on May . thank you
Nice to see how excited you guys were to see that.
Wow great photography!

Thank you! I'm glad you got to see it for yourself. Nothing can truly compare!

Hello, do you remember how long it took you to complete this loop with the stops?
