Review:

The Forest Cathedral is by far the most beautiful area of the popular Cook Forest, with a network of trails running among massive hemlocks, beeches, white pines, black cherry, and rhododendron bushes. The dense canopy of ancient trees creates an uplifting, spiritual feeling, like being in a natural cathedral. One of the favorite trails in the network is the Rhododendron Trail , a 1.2-mile moderately difficult trail that begins between Indian Cabins 6 and 7. It passes the swinging bridge that crosses Toms Run Road and ends on Forest Drive. The trail is particularly beautiful in spring, when the rhododendrons are covered in a riot of purple blooms.
