Get around Cathedral Provincial Park
The Ashnola Forest Service Road from the highway only skirts the northern and western edges of the park. Access to the core area of the park, where most of the hiking and scenery is, can only be done on foot or by private shuttle.
The shuttle service, operated by the Cathedral Lakes Lodge, is the fastest way to the core area of the park. The trip, in four-wheel drive vehicles, starts at their base camp about 22 km down the Ashnola Road. It is easily identified by the sign and gate across the entrance. The trip takes about an hour each way and costs $90-$100 per person (low season-high season). Space is limited though, so you must book transport at least a day in advance by calling the lodge (see contact details in the Sleep section below). You don't need to stay at the lodge to use the shuttle service -- it is available for campers and day-trips.
Hiking is the cheaper but more strenuous option to access the core area. Three trails connect the Ashnola Road to the core area. The Lakeview Trail, at 15 km and over 1000 m of elevation gain, is the most direct route. The turn-off for the trailhead is between the 13 and 14 km markers, about 2 km beyond the base camp for the Cathedral Lake Lodge shuttle service.
