Cathedral Mountain is a 6,930-foot Navajo Sandstone summit at the north end of Zion Canyon in Zion National Park, rising about 2,500 feet above the canyon floor and the North Fork of the Virgin River. In central Zion it stands near well-known formations such as Angels Landing, The Great White Throne, Observation Point, and Mount Majestic, with Refrigerator Canyon separating it from nearby Angels Landing. Its southern point, The Spearhead, became a recognized feature after Stephen S. Johnson applied the name in 1922 and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names adopted it in 1934. The mountain entered Zion’s early climbing history with its first recorded ascent on August 31, 1931.
